I would spend about 3000-5000CZK (160-260USD approx) for it.
Now I have read some mobos test and I quite liked that P5Q deluxe, but Biostar tpower I45 really got my attention! Power consumption only 11.5W idle and it has world record in overclocking with liquid nitrogen (725MHz FSB)! But they say those toroid coils may start whistling some day, so I am not sure if I should be afraid of that... Nvidia chipsets have almost twice power consumption then intel so not these...

Any board you decide to go for is gonna start whistling and arcing some day if you are an overclocker, thats the nature of the beast but by then you will probably be looking to upgrade anyway, and besides, you could always buy a louder fan.

This board is getting a lot of attention over at xtreme systems:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813128358

The price is quite affordable and if some of the reviews are to be believed, it's an excellent performer. Here are a few threads:

Hm, but I am not sure if there will be enough space between graphics card and PCI card if I have both PCI slots used (Sound Blaster Audigy and TV card). I guess it will fit there, but it could make heating problems... Also will I surely fit two cards into bottom PCIe and bottom PCI?

I am picking one of these up on the 30. It hit 670 FSB, and 558 with a Quad.

Would you consider DFI LANParty P45 mobo? It is the best hardcore OC board. Better then any P5Q boards.
