Default ECS PN2-SLI2+ (V1.0) nForce 680i SLI Motherboard: review by big bruin
In this 14 page review, Big Bruin gives this board their "recommended" seal and "gaming approved" seal...lots of seals over there. Here is a list of their pros and cons::

"Pros:

» Packed with features: SLI, SATA2, Onboard RAID controller
» LED Diagnostic display simplifies troubleshooting
» Stable when overclocked, lots of tweaking flexibility

Cons:

» Southbridge could use an active cooling solution
» Only one IDE port, avoiding IDE hard drives is practically a must
» Northbridge fan should come pre-installed from the factory"
