I've been looking at motherboards with 8/9000 series GPUs onboard but I'm
finding it difficult to nail them down as some retailers just don't give
much detail without burrowing down into their web site.

For example, this one is local, cheap and in stock
   http://www.tastech.co.nz/product_info.php?products_id=253597
but as far as I can see its a full size ATX card which makes it ideal for
my new server (and backend) but not as a frontend.

Does anyone have any suggestions based on this new nvidia criteria for a
quiet low power (in my case diskless) frontend motherboard? Just think
ahead to Christmas!!

Cheers
