I tried to find out as much as I can on the net on motherboards, so I could
make a best informed purchase decision . Given the fact that I NEED at
least 4 PCI/4 ISA slots, ATX form factor, it seems that very few quality
boards would qualify.  Of course like most people, performance,
reliability, quality, support and price are the decision parameters.
Ended up only with the ABIT AX5 Rev 2.2 and the HSB LAbs Blackfoot.  
Any contribution in the MB selection with recommendation, suggestion and/or
rationale would be most appreciated.

Finally, I need an ATX case. Besides the Enlight 7230 Mid Tower or the
Inwin full tower with a 300 W PS, are they any others that could compete
with those two?

AN email response would be specially appreciated. Thanks.
Kader
