MSI Motherboards

Hi all

Just joined the forum as a need a little help with choosing a new MOBO. I have the following one in mind which fits all the specs I need but although I have heard of MSI before and have owned one of their PCIe GPU's, I have no idea at all what their motherboards are like? Could someone assist please? It's selling for about £37 on one of the sites here but I would really like to find out just what they are like, do they last, do they give trouble etc? Thank you in advance if you can assist.

Among the brands I've used (ASUS, GigaByte, MSI, etc.) the boards from MSI have given me the least amount of trouble.

Thanks for the advice! Just looked on the site and they have sold out but plenty more to choose from around that price, from MSI etc. Also, I noticed a lot of motherboards now are SATAII? My C: drive is 80Gb SATA but my D: drive is 320Gb SATAII. It never caused me problems with my old board and that was just a plain old SATA board so I presume the newer boards would also work OK with both SATA and SATAII HDD as well? Cheers!
