Asus M2NC51-AR

Hey guys, just wanted to document a little my experiences with this motherboard - there's a great thread over on the [H] that i stumbled upon, but they won't let @gmail's register =)
anyway, the main reason i wanted to post this is that the board i bought came from ebay - ie, i bought just the board. this normally wouldn't be a problem, but in this case Asus has set up this AM2 board with LGA775 mounting holes only, and i was a little worried about finding a compatible heatsink. that's basically the reason for this post; i wanted other people who buy this board to know that at least one 'low profile' [=P] heatsink will fit.
in the end, after a lot of digging around, i went for a Zalman CNPS8000 which fits beautifully =)
anyway, that marks the end of my first post. i hope to be back soon with some pics of the setup.
