DFI first choice, P5K-E second

yeah the dfi was my fist choice fors ure but i can only get shipped, and as i feel impatient i think im gonna pick something up locally in edmonton and thats limiting cause our comp shops suck donkey.... stuff. P5k-E sounds good unless someone can think of a reason not to get it.

My vote goes to the DFI. More money, more hassle, more power :cool:
