    Nice been waiting to see if they did any MATX X79 motherboards, would be tempted to get that instead of the 1155 motherboard I have on order if it wasn't for the fact the 6 core Sandy Bridge E chips were so expensive.

    I'm not liking the look of the fan that some boards are sporting.

    Haven't seen such a mean looking, awesomely styled mobo in quite a while...

    (concur that having to see a manufacturer placed fan on the mobo as default is a tiny bit disappointing though)

    Love the look of the M-atx board, hate the fan, can we have a right-angled 24 pin ATX connector please

    And how on earth are you supposed to use the PCIx16 slots with that spacing, middle slot looks completely redundant.

    Could have a lot of fun watercooling this though, very tempted

    Does anyone else notice that on the extreme9, the heatsink is over 1 RAM slot?

    Looks more like a skewed sticker to me
    My only concern is should I hide my true identity? A costume maybe?

    0iD: Plus weeing in it every now & again does it good
    scaryjim: 10" is just a little large to hold comfortably in one hand, which makes it a lot harder to tap, swipe and generally interact with.

    hmm Sandy Bridge e is tempting me now!, I cant imagine the entry 6 core chip and the MATX mobo will be cheap though, Still it should be released before my Scan order for my case and Z68 mobo arrives so I can always cancel off the mobo if I decide to take the plunge
