Default Looking for new SLI MOBO. helpers?

Hey guys...
thanks for taking time to consider helping me.... here are a few things you may need to know.
firstly i have a AM2 processor. secondly, i have a XFI creative sound card, a 8800gts oc'd, and a full atx case, antec ninehundred... now the formalities are outta the way

im after a SLI motherboard. between 200 and 280 australian bucks. if its a little outside these prices i can work with it, i know how to get stuff cheap...

anyways... currently i have a asrock board with not enough space for upgrades and no sli eligability..
the xfi sound card is rite below the 8800gts, and you all know how warm the 8800's run, so having an air path blocked by a warm running xfi aint helping the situation much either, plus there are no slots for a tv tuner card, and i want somthing that looks cool, due to have a see through window, prefferably heatpiped board.. i have looked at the m2n32sli from asrock which is a nice board.. but are there any manufacturers that i should look into? anyone have a board they can recommend?

Has anybody heard good things about the Asus Crosshair? Current prices in Oz for this board at a secret place are $314.. here is a link to see the board ASUSTeK Computer Inc..
Also the reason this board is my favourite <minus price> is the slot layout. i want to get another card for sli so basically 4 slots taken up by the dual slot 8800's then i need to put in the pci Creative Xfi card and i also want a digital tv tuner card, annnnnd soon a PhysX card...
BTW anyone had any experience with those cards?
