Does anyone know what happened to the A8V series that were for sale here? I would put this in new product suggestions but I assume they were no longer stocked for a reason, perhaps because the A8V-E SE was similar price to how cheap the low end nForce 4 boards have become but lacked certain features.
The A8V-XE in particular looks like quite a good board now, priced around £35 - 45 with 16x PCI-E, 3 PCI, 2 1x PCI-E and unlike A8V-E SE it has SATA 2 (with 4 ports, to SEs 2) and onboard HD audio. Only thing it is missing from the nForce 4 boards is the Firewall and such and Gigabit ethernet. At that price it is nice to have a full size ATX board alternative (to the mostly M-ATX boards in that price range). Though admittedly it prolly won't overclock much and this is overclockers
