Default FS: Abit AN7 Nforce 2 MOBO

I have had this mobo for about a month now and love it, but I do have some problems with it in my system:

The ATX power plug is in the standard Abit spot, which will make it nearly impossible to route the tubes for the waterblocks I am making for the GPU and NB. Also, the placement of the NB is too parallel with the CPU and the 9800pro's core, so the tube routing to that will also be difficult because I am using 1/2" ID 3/4" OD tygon, which is extra thick. Last, the UGURU monitoring software wont let me output temps onto my Crystalfontz parallel LCD until Abit decides to release the IO code for the chip, so I cannot see temps without using their software.

I probably should have researched all of this before buying this board

Overall, this is a great board. It has basically everything that the NF7-S rev 2.0 has except more memory voltage and an updated onboard sound chip (which sounds excellent I might add). It has dual onboard SATA plugs, a Vantec copper heatsink on the NB and a passive heatsink on the southbridge. I wanted to use the fan from the AN7's northbridge because it had fan monitoring, but it did not match the holes of the vantec thing so I super-glued it on and it looks pretty snazzy if you ask me. Also advertised are some fancy yellow ATA133 rounded cables from SVC, one is a 18" for the hard drives and the other is a 24" for the Optical drives higher up. I'll throw them in for an extra $4 if you want them.
I am asking $85 shipped, newegg is asking $101. My loss is your gain.
