    What about these motherboards??

    Just been looking at tigerdirect, doing some research on my future car computer and saw some pretty good deals it seems like. Was just wondering what yall thought of these motherboards and wondering if they would work or if you have other suggestions.

    Motherboards

    The first one (I think) was the MSI board. In general I tend to lean towards these boards as I have had good experience with them in the past. The only thing I would be cautious about is what processor you are plan on using. I have had bad experiences with celeron processors in general, so I personally warn you. Others, however, may have had plenty of good experiences thus you may like it or hate it.

    It all depends on what you want your carputer to do. Really it doesn't matter that much as long as you get the right size, sufficient USB and PCI slots for everything you want, and/or onboard components.
    P.S. Why on earth would anyone in their right mind be looking at such a crappy store? http://www.resellerratings.com/seller1983.html
    Look at their 6 month rating. Remember the average store is around a 7. The only thing that pulls them up any is their prices. Everything else is terrible.

    I order a lot of components from tiger direct. It has always had excellent customer service as well as good ship time and non-faulty parts. I think they are actually teamed up with amazon now as well. That rating I do not believe accurately reflects tiger direct's quality, although I would be open to hear any stories of bad experiences with them, as I have not encountered any ever.

    I have had many good experiences with tigerdirect.com. They generally have great prices and excellent support. A seven rating does not do them justice IMO.

    tigerdirect is good, my buddy got a system from them years ago and had the warrenty and they sent out someone to fix it as needed (within the 2 years of the service contract).
