So just last week I helped build a Core i7 computer for a co-worker. It was fun to build, but hard to see it go when we were done. So I've been thinking of upgrading from my obsolete  775 system (in signature).
Instead of using a full size ATX board and mid to full tower case I have been thinking of a micro ATX board and small form factor case. Previously I didn't like SFF systems mainly because I never found an mATX board with all of the features I wanted. I did a quick search and see that there are three 1366 socket mATX boards, two met my requirements.
I started a wishlist and need some other opinions besides those voices in my head
