I really like that board actually.
In the right circumstances, that could be a 24GB RAM, i7 980X, dual 480/5970 monster, with SATA3 and USB3 - all crammed into a uATX board. Will be interesting to see how it overclocks compared to its full-sized brethren.
Cost is pretty crazy though... I know X58 is expensive, but nothing would convince me to blow £200 on a motherboard alone, however good it was.
Nice board in many respects. With the USB 3.0 train in full motion now and USB 3.0 backwards compatible with USB 2.0, you'd think high end motherboards would have a complete array of USB 3.0 ports instead - assuming someone makes a controller for that many.
Also with this being a M-ATX motherboard, you'd think the price would be more competitive, it is smaller than a standard size motherboard, therefore gotta be cheaper to make.
On the whole, motherboard prices like £200 is alot to be asking, when they don't offer a great more than a board 50% cheaper. Imagine is someone brought out a premium board at £100 ish, it would clean up.
