      Since it will never need worked on RoHS doesn't matter anyway unless you have a habit of licking PCBs.

      They do.
      They are called workstation boards.
      They usually retail in the $300-$400 range.
      I have a few if you got lots of cash.
      Or you could turn off the sound chip in the BIOS like everyone else that doesn't want the on-board does.

          No, I don't like ROHS compliance because they use lead-free solder. In any case, I don't think it will be a problem because the northbridges probably don't run hot enough for it to fracture.
