Actually I have to laugh because recommending to NOT use an antivirus... goodness. *weak laugh*. Yeah and I want to hear from you six months down the road when you have all kinds of pop ups, spam, unknown pr0n, and weird programs running amok on your system. Good luck chump!
Anyway back to reality...
I could redesign the system Sky but I hate to drift out of onboard equipment too far especially the GPU. It's nice to have one as a emergency VGA in case the video card takes an unexpected dive off the deep end. Not really a concern, but if it matters..

Plus with the way Nvidia and ATI now have their SLI and CrossFire working with any onboard VGA as a helper GPU, you kinda have to pair them up...
Hybrid SLI and Crossfire only works with lower end cards IIRC. Using a 9800GT or something along the lines won't show any performance increases..
I'll look into it a bit tomorrow and see what I can find. PM me with some good motherboards as well especially ones with onboard VGA and the ability to do hybrid SLI or CrossFire.
I'm more concerned about vrm cooling. It's something that most of the lower end boards lack and is essential if you ever plan on overclocking. ;o
