Some great design ideas on there. I don't know what took rotated SATA ports so long, but it's about effin' time. Digital PWM looks cool too, though I'll take the idea with a grain of salt until we know whether it really lives up to what it could be.

Oh. My. Goodness. A board with INTELLIGENT slot design! Space for 2 dual-slot graphics cards, TWO PCI, and what appears to be a PCI-E x8 for those with RAID cards! *me wants*

to DFI for figuring out the slot situation. Well done.

Wow. Thats one crammed motherboard. I like

that looks pretty cool, like the idea of the 90 degree sata ports, pretty smart, will be good to see some benchies of this board

Nice

Looks like they've actually had a sit down discussion on the layout, it turned out quite well too

They look parallel to me.

DFI are awesome although they have been getting some bad press on XS recently with bad customer experiences. I love their boards they really seem to think about the layout. That board looks lush but I reckong it'll be a good £160

I was going to ask do they have a rrp yet? Also a release date? Looks very nice, with a lot of thought that has gone into the design.

Digital PWM....hummmm...about time someone else uses this.
all in all a very cool layout. ME WANTS!!!!
