kansaidan's Full Review: Abit IC7 Motherboard
The northbridge heatsink fan failed after 3 months. (This seems to be a well-known shortfall of ABIT boards.) They have several different models shipped with the board, and apparently I have one of the cheap old ones. I ordered a new one from "ABIT Parts." You pay for shipping and handling only.

Aside from that the board performs well. I run the board default with 3.2Ghz CPU and 2GB RAM. Seems stable and well mannered. The IDE plugs are down on the S.E. corner of the board, which makes for interesting stretching and contortions to plug in drives. But it can be done, so be prepared for that.

Installation is fairly straight forward. If the price drops below a certain point, I may pick up another one (hopefully with the better heatsink) for a new build project.
