Well, a solid enthusiast SLI board for around $120 is a rather tall order you know 
If you can stretch a bit more, I'd say this one would do fairly nicely: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813123246
As for the A8N-SLI series, it's rather a hit or miss as to whether they OC or not. I happen to have gotten lucky with my Deluxe board

their is 2 downsides with it.
their is a bug in the bios preventing overclock on certain cpu's, some winchester for example.
i have gone arund that problem by having clockgen autostart and set overclocking and then quit automaticly and works good.
the other downside is the chipset fan, from what i read its noisy and tends to fail quickly.
i cant say much about it as i removed it before i started up the motherboard.
you can check out my profile on what i havw with the motherboard but im overall satisfied with the board and the ability to go sli when and if i chose too.

I've got just the board for ya mate.... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813123246
EPoX is "teh shiznit". They overclock like bandits and have the consumers wallet in mind.
EPoX is my 2nd favorite mobo manufacturer behind DFI.

Notice I already linked that Frag 
@Kemp, he says the board MUST have SLI. I know that you can mod the Ultra-D, but recent boards have some sort of epoxy, so it's not absolute.

depends on the person really, whether they're willing to "risk" it. But this is OC3D! If you're unwilling, you're out! (haha, jk )

Almost all bad things about DFI are "user error"
I've been a member of DFI forums for some time and its only very infrequently an actual hardware problem.
DFI LANPARTY are High-End enthusiast boards to be used with High-End enthusiast parts and people who know what they're doing. Go take a look on DFI street support forums and you'll find hundreds of threads where people just haven't done the research.
If a DFI board DOES have a hardware issue - DFI are very quick to recognise and resolve it

NickS said:I can vouch for that.
Their quality control blows, everyone knows that. Yes, Kemp, I agree with you, part of it has to do with user error.
Nick
I would have to say MOST is user error, but DFI does have some serious quality control issues. They don't have an in between either, your board is either perfect or completely ****ed.
