I'm a little biased toward ASUS models - they never failed on me in 8 years
with Linux :)
The one on my main machine supports up to 6 ATA drives and up to 8 SATA
drives, has 8 usb port and both fw400 and fw800 ports.
Not to mention that you can update the firmware without using Windows.
Maybe you will find interesting a feature such Splashtop: it's now on the
top-line models and it is to be included in the next-gen MBs from ASUS.
