Best Socket 939 mATX mobo?

I'm planning on building a SFF PC and I want to know what mobo you all recommend. This would be my gaming PC and I plan on putting a A64 4000+ Sandy in it along with a single 7800GT, and I'd be putting a soundcard in it, so intergrated audio or sound isn't a priority.

Well, if you want to overclock, the Biostar TForce 6100-939 is the way to go, it seems.
However, if you want more features and better stability, the Foxconn 6150K8MA-8KRS is also a good choice.
However, eVGA has released their mATX SLI board just recently! w00t!

The Foxconn 6150K8MA-8EKRS looks like a really good deal. I don't plan on overclocking, and I don't run my games at resolutions higher than 1024x768, and since the Foxconn has 1Gb ethernet, I think I'll go with that.

Good choice. I've heard that it's a really nice board. And actually, it's overclocking potential isn't that bad (around 270MHz FSB),

Yeah, I picked up on that rading the Newegg reviews. I decided to go with a 3700+ Sandy, instead of a 4000+ and save 100 bucks, seeing as it's a relitively good and cool overclocker.

looks like it's going to be a nice pc....what kinda sound card are you going with?

Xfi xtrememusic. Onboard just isn't good enough for audio creation, and it's rather weak for games.
