      Has anyone tried this Biostar barebone?

      I am looking to replace my acer aspire revo (I have recently learned that it can't handle my wideband connection, since it has to use a USB card for the wan side).

      I want something low cost that runs cool.  Will the NICs be supported?  it says Realtek 8111c cards, which aren't explicitly listed on the HCL, but I see other threads mentioning them working.

      I am not a hardware guy, so I don't really want to mess around with buying separate pieces/parts to build my own (and figuring out what works with what).

      Thanks,

      -jamie

            Not that I saw…I just slapped in an Intel Nic for the Lan and used the onboard Via ethernet for my Wan.

              Yeah.  I was thinking about putting in a Multi Gigabit Intel card, but was just wondering if there were any with onboard.

                  That is what the one that I had asked about has- but I don't know if the cards will work…

                    Well, I went ahead and pulled the trigger on it– so far, working like a champ:
