DFI, who’s LanParty series of motherboards are among the best motherboards out there, will soon (end of the month I have read, so perhaps give it until the end of May) release a new LanParty based on nVidia’s 680i chipset.
What is odd is that it uses the 680i LT chipset, which supposedly wasn’t as full featured as the older full 680i. However, after looking at nVidia’s spec sheet for the 680i, it appears to be nearly as feature complete as the older 680i after all. The “SLI-Ready Memory (MHz) with EPP” isn’t nearly as fast, and it’s “Extreme FSB Overclocking” is rated “good,” not “best” on the spec sheet, but it does appear to support the “‘Third PCIe Graphics Expansion Slot” which some of the scuttlebutt seemed to say it wouldn’t.
I haven’t seen any official word on retail price, but I read one claim that it will supposedly be $220, how true that is I don’t know.
The 680i (and the newer 680i LT) support Intel’s Core 2 Extreme (dual and quad core), Core 2 Quad, Core 2 Duo, Celeron D, Pentium 4, Pentium D 9XX, Pentium D 8XX, so there are plenty of choices. Of course, if you are splurging for this board, it should be a Core 2 of some flavor. (Core 2 Extreme quad core… drool…)
My current computer uses DFI’s LanParty UT nF4 Ultra-D, with an AMD Athlon 64 3500+ and I have been happy with it so far. Perhaps not as fast as I would like, but a large part of that is the slower video card I put in it, and the fact this one can’t really do SLI (it supposedly could before a BIOS revision, or nVidia driver upgrade, I can’t remember which).
Anyhow, it looks like this new board is the board to get right now… Hey, DFI, if you need somebody for um… long term testing of it, I’ll take one. 
EDIT: Some very cool pics of the DFI 680i LT NF-680i LT SLI.
