    Anyone get the board yet. Looks very nice indeed. Would it run ok with an i3 and 4gig ram, dvdrw drive (3.5) and a 3.5 HD with a Pico 150 PSU?

    Well mine keeps getting delayed from CCL - and I've been hospitalised since tuesday so may cancel/postpone my planned build (Nesteq ms500 15 661, watercooling etc Only bought ram so might cancel for now until released (and maybe board better then)

    Ohh and if Bit-tech get a Nesteq Ms500 to review will be VERY interested. Not enough info at www.nesteq.de to tell ifthe watercoolings gonna fit.

    Would it be any good as a day to day PC? Picarro, looking at your spec with that question.

    What about using a Pico PSU, 150w instead of a normal ATX PSU? Surely that would be a good alternative in a small case? Should run everything if just using onboard GPU, i3 etc?

    Yes - I'm gonna have to replace the stock 60W pico style psu included in the Nesteq ms500 with say a 150w pico-atx psu (I may even have one spare in my box of bits. Hopefully the planned watercooling a coool-it Eco don't need megawatts :)

    It should be good for browsing, Office 2007 and so forth.

    FYI: i5-750 should be the max CPU you use in this board, and even then its OC will be limited. The power hardware will not take a heavy overclock, just like the DFI. It's certainly geared for Clarkdale.

    I'll be trying our new BIOS that dropped today, this week.

    I was thinking of an i3 with 4gig ram a 3.5 hard drive a normal dvdrw using a Pico 150w PSU. Using onboard GPU. No gaming really.
