ASUS are hard to get in Australia. I've been working with Y-Micro on parts
selection for our systems, and have come up with a combination I'm very
happy with.
Basically, you want a Soyo Triton-based motherboard (they have a PB
cache model, but I don't have pricing on PB modules yet) with a P120
and ASUS SC-200 SCSI controller. They also carry #9, so pick a card that
suits your budget 8)
We have a number of these machines (P100 & P120) and they're very solid.
Y-Micro are generally pretty good to deal with too, certainly we've always
had excellent support & v. quick warranty turnaround.
