Only the very best - I prefer to use server boards which dont have whizbang features but receive bios updates for a couple of years. I think buying PC's is like an art. You dont want to buy any PC that has a radical feature vendor specific. For eg I would never buy anything with Nvidia optimus, chances of Nvidia sticking around to maintain it five years from now are zero. Youre much safer buying a middle of the road model that will receive vendor updates because the vendors lifeline depends on it. Buying motherboards that are used in supercomputing clusters is also great because those users tend to actually contribute kernel patches in case compatibility breaks over the years.
