I'm currently battling it out with myself between two mother boards:

and:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813130491
I posted the picture to hightlight something..
one is a mATX that has onboard video, and the other is a full atx (no onboard video) but has a chipset fan..
i've heard horror stories about bad chipset fans...
the only issue I see with the other board is that it has onboard video and two PCI slots... I don't care about the PCI slots since at most i'll use 1, (sound card)
but the onboard video..would having onboard video hurt the performance of a real video card at all?
I don't want to deal with noisey/unreliable chip set fans.. i'd rather it be passively cooled... what do you guys think?
