Dave Ashley sent us one of those exact mainboards, we'll test it here at 
LANL next week. If you're in a rush, however, you should get Dave's 
attention.

As for vendors, I usually use www.pricewatch.com. I noticed there's a 
pricewatch.co.uk, but I'm not sure if it's run by the same people. Also, a 
lot of retailers are absolutely clueless about the hardware they're 
selling so you must be careful when trying to order a specific part.
