I'm looking for a good, reliable and upgradeable solution too. I don't 
care to spend a lot of money if the hardware is reusable. A Dell 2850 is 
useless after 3 years, no way to upgrade it. A quality Intel SC5300 for 
example is not cheap at all but will last you a lifetime.

But now the difficult task, to find the right mobo. I prefer to go with 
an AMD CPU because it is not as power hungry as Intel which only improves 
runtime on ups power.

In the category professional mobo's I like the HDAMA from Rioworks which 
features an AMD 8111 [HyperTransport I/O Hub] and AMD 8131. [PCI-X 
Tunnel]. Has anyone ever tried Digium hardware on this chipset or even 
mobo?

Alternatively I'm considering a regular mobo with an nForce3 or nForce4 
chipset. Will these work with Digium hardware?

(Looking at the repsonses most people seem to use Intel stuff?)

Recommendations for quality barebones also welcome :)
