ocuk has it for preorder at around the price of the p5k-e Wifi, Gigabyte p35-dsp or msi p35 platinum...

eta on ocuk is 28.01.08

i think the 8+8 only in sli wont hurt much because its pci-e 2, so it should be the same performance as full x16 with old pci-e.

the battery is in a horrible location and there is not enough spacing between the gpu slots... but they got the cpu to ram and ram to pci-e distance right.

now if they only made non lolercoaser boards like this but with an 8 pin and an intel chipsrt

The huge heatsink threw off my perspective, at first I thought it was a microATX board.

I think they misplaced the CPU cooler on the chipset...

How tall is the NB heatsink? I wonder if there will be any clearance issues with some of the larger heatsinks.

Ditto. I had to count the slots to make sure that this is an ATX.
