Does anyone have experience with a mATX board? I just built a box at home with MSI K8MM-ILSR with Athlon64 3000+ in an Antec Aria. So far I'm still feeling my way through Gentoo for amd64 on it. It's not exactly smooth sailing... (Had to get development kernel to get cool'n'quiet working. Setting up Xorg was fairly tricky. I thought the day of manually configure X has long gone. Apparently no so...) If I run into one more thing I'll likely go to SUSE. I've had almost no problem with SLES8 on our Opterons. Andy

For a quiet system, try the Antec Sonata case.

Note that an Athlon 64 will damn near heat your home.

Really? Are you talking about the 135nm Newcastle core? My 90nm Winchester normally sits around 80-85F and gets only as high as 100F on a heavy load.
