any luck with this motherboard?

I'm looking into building a new untangle box for a small network. (under 20 computers)

Has anyone had any luck with this motherboard?

It seems pretty main stream, so I'm hoping that the Linux kernel should handle it pretty well.

BTW, I do not plan on using the internal NIC, I'll add some Intel NICs via PCIe.

thats going to be one power hungry over powered beast! Maybe if your piping TONS of traffic through this, but this is totally over kill.

YOu might want to get a board with dual nic's or atleast with intel ones. Realtek, is garbage, not worth it.

I realize the urge to go bad ass with the main board, but honestly its not necessary. You're paying for features your never going to use with that board. I can tell you this board works great, especially if your not going to use the onboard nic.
