Kids Looking for a Nforce2 board with HS mounting holes

I am currently looking for a Nforce2 based MB with the 4 holes for mounting large HS or waterblocks. I would like to use my DangerDen maze3 block on the new board so the the mounting holes are a must.
Sata and Raid would be nice but not needed, Dual channel DDR is a must. I plan to use a 2500+ Barton and do plan to OC at a later date.
Iny suggestions on boards to look at? Sub $150 price if possable. Thanks, Steve

Have a look at the A7N8X or the deluxe version.

I think you can find every nForce2 board for under 150, maybe even a deluxe version here and there.

Epox and Abit are also nice boards.

The Abit NF7-S has the four mounting holes, plus everything else you listed.

Thanks guys, I have looked at both boards and I think im leaning twords the A7N8X Deluxe. I now need to decide if this will be a case up new comp or just a MB/CPU upgrage. If I do the upgrade it will be the A7N8X with my watercooler but if I build a nex box I may just go with Air Cooling and a MSI K7N2. Thanks Again

Like I said in the other thread, you might be able to use one of these ...you'd have to make sure it's compatible with your water block though.

thkx for the link to the water cooling thing. I have no idea how I'd ever install one for my own machine next year. Are there any step by step instruction on how to do that?

Well they have that for the Maze3 and Maze4 ... I think it's the same one anyway. My dad has one on his Maze4.
