I'm building a system for a friend based around this board and a 1.4ghz Tbird, and I was just wondering about something.

How is the "built in" sound card on this board that it flaunts on the spec sheet....?

Also, does this board have anything I need to watch out for, based on your personal experience?

The built in sound is half-decent, but you can buy a better sound card for pretty cheap. Some issues with the EpOx include +5v problems with enermax powersupplies, printer problems, and some other minor things. Visit http://www.amdworld.co.uk/8k7aisue.htm for more information on these issues and how to solve them.

I have the non Raid version, put a 430 watt Enermax on it with no problems. Printer problems have been due to weak power supplies. Haven't tried the sound on it, use my own sound card.

Check out this forum, under Epox for lots of info about it;
