I'm happy with my "ASUS A8N-E ACPI BIOS Revision 1011-004".  The chipset 
fan that it came with it was garbage I've replaced it with a heatsink which 
seems to work fine.

Had a few issues but they've all cleared up since BIOS update:

- needed reset button following reboot or shutdown
- unknown ide opcode errors for my pata drive

I have one SATA and one PATA drive, both Seagate. System has been up 24 
hours a day for quite a while (I think I've had it 6 months).
