Some would say that's more enough reason to begin with!
Others would say that should you ever go to the DFI Street forums and admit not having everything plugged in, that they would (sometimes impolitely) tell you to stop wasting their time until you have.
I dunno if you've ever had a DFI board before, but the SLI-DR was one of the most finicky boards I've ever had. Rock solid when you've got it cracked, but so painful getting there!
