Good morning everyone. I am going to build a new 810 system next week. I would like to order the parts today. I have a few questions for anyone that has been using 810 on what hardware they are using. I have had problems with hardware compatibility before and would like to have a smooth transition this time. This will be a Hybrid with no MDs as of yet. There will be 2 -3 MDs when I get everything working.

1) Motherboard - As many sata connections as possible (I could put in a PCI-X SATA II Controller Card )
Dual Nic
HDMI would be nice but not needed,
Onboard video,
Intel or AMD.
I would like to be able to install several HD-5500 cards
2) Video Card if not on the motherboard.

Any help would be great

dude, just do yourself a favour, and get a couple of HDHomeRuns, if you're going to do the clear HD route.
