Well after finally getting my processor from Monarch Computers... I had to have them sub in a different fan because apparently the one I ordered was never going to come in... I've had great success!
A8N SLI Deluxe board
AMD 64 3500+ 90nm cpu
Thermaltake 8+ heatsink and fan
MGE 500 psu using a 20 pin connector
PDP 3200 2-3-2-5 timed memory - 2x512 sticks
MSI 6600 GT graphics card (no SLI for me yet)
Using onboard sound for now - although seriously considering just putting my SB Audigy 2 card in
Maxtor DiamondMax10 300g Hard Drive - NCQ not enabled right now
Everything installed and setup without a single problem and the only system hicup I had was while running nTine and got one restart. The Nvidia firewall was giving me issues and I've since turned it off, but zero bugs or glitches with the board or any equipment installed. Although I did fry a USB jump drive when I had the external connectors for my Tsunami Dream case reversed, but that was just dumb user error.
So hopefully the boards that are having serious issues are just the same issolated issues that come with any brand new technology and no problems that are affecting a wide range of the boards
