I've built several systems (including my own) using the Gigabyte 7VTXH+,
which is damn near the same thing as the 7VTXE.  All I can tell you is that
I have no complaints. Oh, tell a lie - I'd like to see a thermal cutout on
the board; perhaps that'll come later.
I'm about to do another system using the 7VRXP - this is a few $ more that
the 7VTXH+ but it has 4 IDE ports (RAID)
