OK, in my final effort, I managed to find this board. The site also accepts CC/DBs. What do you guys think?

1. I don't need plenty of SATA6 ports

2. One PCI-E slot will do

3. 2 USB 3.0 ports will do

Sorry again, Ebay is definitely not an option.

Search TE a bit. There was even a thread about the site. There are pretty new in the scene. If COD is an option then opt for it.
 
Most payment gateways charge 2.5% per transaction. So if you have internet banking, paying using NEFT is a better option. Its 5 or 6rs per transaction. There's always the trust issue, but i'd go with SMC on this one. The people seem honest enough. :P
 
Ok, the only NEFT option I have is through StanChart. They have disabled adding new Payees till tomorrow. So let's see if that works out.

In the meantime, if you can find an alternate location to purchase the GA-880GA-UD3H from, do post in.

Thanks for your inputs so far!

ASUS = Bad R.M.A. so your choice literally.

Are they that bad, esp. in Chennai where ASUS is the most prominent brand?

Currently considering these:

M4A88TD V EVO (7.4K) - ATX board
M4A88TD M EVO (6.3K) - mATX board
Gigabyte MA880GM-USB3 (6.3K)
Gigabyte GA890GPA-UD3H (8.9)

Edit: Decided to buy the board in Chennai, irrespective of the price. Can't help it.

Edit: Purchases complete, thanks again for all your inputs!
 
I have generally encountered bad A.S.S. reports of ASUS (through Rashi Peripherals so best is avoid).
 
Thank you all for your valuable inputs! :hap2:

AMD PhenomII X4 955BE - 6.25K

Corsair DDR3 2GB 1333FSB ValueSelect x 2 - 2.45K

Thanks guys!

Got the rig up and running this morning! Smooth sailing with W7 Ult 64bit. (TW)

Only niggling issue is that the stock CPU fan is annoyingly loud, a mini Trent engine within the cabby! :P

Might have to change that soon it, when it becomes unbearable.
