I actually used the rather cheap biostar m7ncd pro.
I might actually change it to a asus a78xe deluxe depending on my feeling go with this mobo.  It has been a great performer.  I am really impressed on how well its been working.  Biostar is a great mobo company even though they are a second tier manufacturer.  I also moded the case to have a side fan on the window it looks really good.  Ill have pix for all tommarow.  Goodnight and hope to show my new system tommarow.

You have to have the pictures on a server somewhere and then add the code here to point toward the URL where your picture resides.

Our help page shows how to add images.

For exampleonce you have a host or ftp for your pictures, then (without spaces), type:
[ Img]  www.url-to-image.com (if the image is hosted by Third-Party people, you have to make sure that they have Direct Linking) [/img]

Username and password doesn't seem to work. Open an account at www.webshots.com and post your pictures there. You can then direct link to them.

Still no go as it says we aren't the rightful owners and therefore doesn't allow us to view the pictures.

You might try www.photobucket.com to host the images. Other users on this forum have had luck with it and it is currently free, although donations can be made if you desire.

Once you upload to photobucket, you can link them here with the

The reason your pictures aren't showing in the last poast is because you have an "@" in the URL. This forum has problems with addresses that contain an "@."

I'm glad that you have this opinion of Biostar.  They are very under-rated, probably because that until the collapse of Fountain Technologies (long story) they were mainly an OEM manufacturer for Fujitsu-Siemens and the Fountain companies (Quantex, Cybermax etc.).  They've only recently become readily available Retail - they are available just about anywhere now.

Biostar is seriously a good company.  In fact i had to warranty a board because i recieved it doa and the retailer was a little shady.  Biostar took the board and had a replacement about 1 1/2 weeks later.
