At last. Mine was shipped Monday and should arrive Friday. Not quite as hot as before, but still a great deal nonetheless.

Mine arrived yesterday. Anyone know if the stock heatsink/fan that comes with the CPU is any good or should i buy another one?

Its good, unless you plan to OC.

I plan to oc, what hsf should I use?

Hmm, the instruction book that came with the motherboard sucks. Anyone know if i can do raid on both the serial ata and ultra ata links?

It really doesn't come with much of any documentation, but it's all downloadable:

The ICH5 controller on this board doesn't support RAID. You'd need the ICH5R on some of the other similar Intel boards, or a 3rd-party card, of course.

Uh, why does it say it supports raid on the box?

The new mobo D865GRH has a TPM (trusted platform module) built in. Initially I thought this mobo was a good deal - since it is micro ATX (i prefer that), and the TPM sounded intruiging.

After reading some of the stuff on this site:

I'm starting to wonder now - what do you guys think?

There's a storm brewing in silicon valley.

Well I ordered mine on 12/2 and it finally arrived yesterday 1/26.

I got the original motherboard 865GBF with intergrated Video, Audio and LAN.
