I have my eyes on the Sniper 3

I just hope it's not as expensive as the Sniper 2, if it is, it's the UD4 for me. Would have been the UD5 but it's blue

The sniper 3 is a damn good looking board. Yeah, the sniper 2 was a jaw dropping price for z68. Just the same as you, in hope that they don't put a crazy price on it, aha.

I see they've ditched the gun magazine style heatsink from the Sniper 2 and gone with a more conventional look, probably a good move tbh as quite a few people didn't like the look of it (although i kinda liked it)

Really?? Blue heatsinks??? Way to mess up a nice looking mobo. GigaBites is more like it... Messed up my plans for my new build. The blue just looks so out of place on that board with all the rest black

They may not be the final heat sink designs, these had the same designs at CES and they said they weren't final so I'm guessing these aren't as well.

That Sniper3 looks delicious and would match my work-in-progress colours nicely. Do want.
