I've read a review of the Gigabyte GA-K8NSNXP-939 at PC STATS
http://www.pcstats.com/articleview.cfm?articleID=1639
The good feature IMHO is that the PSU, SATA, USB 2.0 IEEE1394b headers are
located at the
bottom of the board so that you won't have to have cables blocking the airflow
which makes
it efficient and much easier to manage the cables so you don't need a
flashlight to locate the headers
unlike those mobos that have them located at the top instead behind the HD
mounts which was such a pain.
The cables can be much easier to access and disconnect. It also has a built-in
firewall.

I have a Gigabyte K8NSNXP-939 that I've had since Sep 2004 that I
absolutely love. I got an AMD 3800+ with it at that time & since it's
a 939pin mombo I'm upgrading it to an AMD X2 4400+ [dual layer] cpu
shortly. Did I mention that I love it when manufacturers do not leave
us out in the cold with unnecessary hardware upgrades? Yes, the dual
bios & 6 phase power supply is great as well.
