We are very lucky to have a good relationship with Foxconn. They are happy to provide kit for us to review like this.

Without Foxconn's support this would not be possible! We should all say thanks! :)

Every foxconn motherboard me or my friends have had has broke within a year and a half. Not even blue screen death, they dont even want to boot. FOX CON is GARBAGE!!!!

You mention keyboard socket (ps2) just a note to say it is for keyboard/mouse, they hadn't adopted the new colour scheme for it as like other boards, eg purple/green :)

@ShadowBoxer85 Tbh I'm using it has a desktop rather than a home cinema. I've got it powered to good quality powered speakers using a usb soundblaster box. I've not checked a blue ray disc with the Radeon 4200. The only con I've found with it is it's only got one standard pci slot where as I could have done with 2. Sorry not much help really. But it's a great board for the money I've had no problems with it so far.

@TheMaazster Will support all Athlon II and Phenon II X2, X3 & X4 processors. Not sure if it supports AMD Hexcore CPUs tho. Your processor will be fine.

@1919k Just wondering if you have connected it to a surround sound or av receiver? can you get True HD / DTS-MA audio? Also if you are using the onboard Radeon 4200 how does it cope with Blu-Ray? Cheers, would really appreciate a response. Thanks.

The links on the benchtec website reviewing this motherboard doesn't work!! Would have loved to read a decent review of this. Shame.

I've just bought and fitted the Cinema 11 (not deluxe). It was only £30 off ebay and brand new. I fitted a am3 quad core and 4gb ddr3 ram and I must say I'm very impressed with the board. The outputs are amazing for a £30 board. HDMI, DVI-D and optical sound. It's the first foxconn I've used but definately won't be the last.
