Dual lan and eSata are a plus, On-board Wi-FI. it has a slightly older chipset, and slowwer ram-speed, but the one your freind suggested is a bit stripped-down, and it is a pain to work around all of those heat sinks, and they are too close to the processor (with a stock heat sink, it will add heat to the processor, with a good heat sink they will get in the way. I can already see how my Zalman wouldn't fit due to the gnarly fucker above the SPDIF intput on the board and I would have to snap the POS in half). the one I posted also has analog audio input and another internal USB card slot.
anyway, when you are getting a cooler, I strongly suggest the one I have (make sure you have room) http://www.newegg.com/product/product.as...6835118115
