Board looks awesome,and only retailing at $280 or £170.

Although if your looking to have it as a gaming machine,your gonna be limited as to what peripherals you can plug in ,due to the amount of inputs on the back panel.

This board is gonna be for overclockers only,and not just your run of the mill system board.

As you can see from the images there is only 1 external usb header,and only 4 usb ports on back panel.

There's also a basic audio setup on back panel,and only 1 pci slot if you want to add a sound card.

The overclocking feaures look pretty good though,with a 4ghz oc button,and also test points to check voltages etc.

I'm definitely gonna get this board when released,for the price essentially,and also wanting to get a better understanding of overclocking.

I have very little peripherals,just a keyboard mouse and headset so the lack of usb ports aren't really that important to me.

One thing i have noticed is there is also 2 atx 12 volt 8pin connections

I hope they move this theme on to other chipsets as well. I won't be putting any more money into 1366. It would be nice to see a 2011 board at launch like this.
