Dan,

I recommend Tyan 2882 Pro for 1U as they work great and they have everything
you need on board to run - including an on-board video jack, 2 Gigabit
Ethernet ports and 1 100BT Ethernet port on-board as well as a 4-port SATA
controller and an optional SCSI320 controller.
The boards are more expensive, but considering all that comes with them, the
price is well worth it (stable as hell, too!).
This way, you won't waste your PCI or PCI-X slot on unneccessaries since you
can only use 1 slot in a 1U config (w/o expensive specialty adapters).

Hi,

What board is best for a 1u rackmount case? Im initially looking at
Gigabyte GA-K8N..

The case im looking at takes standard atx boards, so is there anything

else
to consider? will the 200w psu be enough for a 3200 Athlon 64 and 2 sata
drives?

Thanks!
Dan
