Some nice news, and good move to remove that stoopid rear-exiting grill.

Would like to point out that the 2nd mobo has longer DDR3 dimm slots ???

And to be fair the mobos do look like they've been edited/shopped if u look at the component sizes.

Could be that one is ATX and the other mATX

I did think that, but the proportions looked weird to me. Might be an illusion as the mATX is stretched a bit to fit the same image size or something.

Is what I was thinking.

Hmmm mATX i7

Could be some good news for those who do not have a lot of room to store their case.

These look good but I have my heart set on the Foxconn Bloodrage

Ha looking around for your new rig to go with the RAM, are you?

The bloodrage is indeed nice, but note that it only has 3 dimm slots. If you want more ram you'll have to upgrade the whole kit.

Yes indeed mate, no point having RAM that I can't use

I doubt I will need 6 slots as 6GB RAM over 3 slots should be plenty by anyone's standards. Until the Bloodrage is released I can only assume I will be getting one, as price will be a huge factor on my decision..
