Looks pretty cramped around the cpu socket, may cause problems for some cpu coolers (though this is nothing new).
2x EPS connectors and I spy a molex next to the heat sink where a north bridge would be. (guessing that's the nf200 chip)
How much power does this thing need?

More likely the molex is for powering multiple high-end graphics cards. With each one drawing up to 75W from the PCI-e sockets, the motherboard ATX connector can become overwhelmed and overheat without a secondary power source to help reduce the load.
