MSI P45 Neo3-FR ?

[dudewotevr]

Heya,

This MSI board is really cheap and suits my needs feature-wise, round R1250.

Any warnings?

Recommendation for something else?

or should I shoot for something second hand, if so what?

R1500 max. (my current board is acting up)

Shot.

Got the P45 chipset on a Biostar board.
Only really issue, is that the IDE slot, that I need for the current DVD writer I have is way at the bottom, but really going to have to get myself a SATA dvd.
Seconhand you could get a nice ASUS board - heck even new.

Have a look on the prophecy classifieds forums or shop's site.

Only thing about the P5Q is the position of the 24-pin right in the middle area of the board..
