New SLI capable MOBO

jsimon · 06-07-2008, 02:42 AM

Looking at various mobos for my new build and I was originally going with:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813141005

But I don't need the 3rd PCI express x16 slot because I don't plan on doing tri-sli and I am getting at least 2 PCI express x1 cards - sound card and network card so I want to free up some room and allow for future aditions into the PCI x1 slots.

The only problem I have with finding a mobo that fits the description is that it has to be green/black or at least mostly green because i'm going with green LEDs, wires, case...etc.

Some of the EVGA mobos are green, but I don't know which one to get... also needs to support quad core.

Please help!

Thanks,
Jason

not much to help with really, seeing that you know exactly what you want, itll just take a bit of reasearch. so good luck!

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813141005

Will 1 of the PCI slots be unusable? like do i have to use the 1st and 3rd PCIe slots or can i use the 1st and 2nd PCIe slots?
