    Why do MSI keep using that crap PCB color, i don't care if it is £50 cheaper than the Asus/DFi boards I still wouldn't buy it for the colour.

    This is an enthusiast level motherboard. I'm not at all surprised people would have a preference for a different color.

    I have the Abit Fatal1ty-F-I90HD (a picture for the colour aficionados - http://www.abit.com.tw/upload/products/fatal1ty-f-i90hd_top_500.jpg), and I am glad to see the enthusiast mATX market finally becoming competitive, feature wise. On my own board I use the top PCI-E slot for a dedicated network card, and the bottom PCI slot for a dedicated sound-card.

    My bug-bear is with with supposedly single-slot graphics cards. I have (and will soon be replacing) an ASUS EAX1950PRO-HTDP-256 (a picture - http://www.super-bazar.cz/image/thumb/150736.jpg). I am curious as to which designer thought having a heat-pipe extend directly above the PCB was a good idea. Thankfully, most Nvidia 'cards are not that bad, and that is who will I be buying from next.

    Any suggestions for a good single-slot (given my criticism) Nvidia graphics-card? Price is not an issue.

    I say it looks pretty good w/ the DARK brown and black/blue ports. The yellow IDE though? They couldn't have made that blue or black like the rest. :nono:

    I would hope that this board would be in the region of £80 - £120 mark, back where motherboard prices should be!
