Sounds nice, but has a chipset fan, which I want to avoid. How loud is
it? I don't want to go to go through all the effort to get a low noise
system and have a small fan whirring inside. ASUS has the A7N8X-VM which
will need two brackets (no problem) but this will be quite expensive
(108 EUR or $ the board, 25 $ TV-out bracket and 20 $ SPDIF bracket)
