Very Detailed! (Reply to this comment)
by puredave
Thank you for your in depth review of this motherboard. I hate it when people write 2 paragraph blurbs about components that are so important (like motherboards).

What I do like is when a reviewer writes long detailed experiences with the product. I may not use/read it all, but I can always scroll to a heading that interests me and read what I need.

Your review helped me in my decision to purchase this motherboard, and I am VERY pleased with it.

Thanks again

I agree about the Raidmax not being that bad. I'm actually using it while my brother has the Enermax (which is a similar look, but better build quality). Almost seem like everyone is ripping off Enermax's design.

Either way, I have yet to read about your Antec case. If you have a review, or a link to other reviews (non-epinions, or even Antec's own site), I'll gladly do a comparo.

Enjoy your new PC!

Thanks for all your help. I got the Antec Performance SX630II case at Circuit City. With an instant $20 rebate (from $79) I thought it was a great deal (better than newegg.com). It got most of the features you mentioned at your Antec review.

You know the bad part about ordering on an internet is that you are stuck with the decision, unless you are willing to lose money. In my case I will lose $20 shipping the Raidmax back to newegg.com. Especially the case only costs $49. But the good thing that came out of this is that my uncle agreed to have me build his computer using this case. So now I have my Antec outstanding case, and my uncle the Raidmax...everyone is happy. The Raidmax we have is not that bad, though, but the Antec case is far superior.

Thanks again!

Oops! I pasted the wrong URL. It was for the crappy Raidmax that you originally left me your comment. Here's the Antec Solution case:

Very indepth and complete. I very well enjoyed your review.

You didn't list an email I can send you, but I recalled that you wanted to know which was a good case to go along with your decked out system. I suggested the Antec Solution SLK3700AMB without any experience with it because of it's low price and based on the fact it was an Antec. I finally got a chance to purchase it, and have a review that may help you out:

Awesome case! Just get another 120 mm fan for the front, and you're cooling is set. Happy building! And Happy Holidays!

I have to agree 100% percent with your assessment of the ASUS P4P800 motherboards. We are currently using the P4P800 on all of our upgrading of older PC's. Based on your review the Deluxe model of this board is a great choice also. You left no stone unturned in your review. :)
