Having looked into it over the last week I keep seeing the Asus CUSL2-C pop up as a good choice. I'd be looking at the 815-EP version without the on board Video, and putting in my own video card (which I haven't started to decide on yet! Oh dear). Might even look at the new Black Pearl edition of this board, although I haven't seen any pricing here in Australia yet! I'll be going with tthe PIII-933 for sure I think! Fits into the budget and seems effective for price/performace! Thanks for the advice Lars!
