I'm using one that I got from John to replace the defective board that came
with an fnord server.  It's running current dual 1G PIII, 2GB Ram, 1.6TB 
raid 10, NO PROBLEMS BUT NO PROBLEMS, great board.

P.S.  John Von Essen uses the board on the servers he builds and was
kind enough to save my ass after I was ripped off on a server purchase 
from Fnord Systems in Bellingham, WA. (never buy  from those guy's 
and believe anything that they say and especially don't expect ANY 
service like replacing a defective motherboard.)  I would recommend 
looking at John's servers.  That is where I'll look for my next one.  
He's proven himself to me.
