man only 1 pci slot? You wouldn't even be able to use it if you had a second video card installed anyhow.

They force you to use the proprietary PCI-Ex1 on ABit's sound card.

Aluminum caps look promising
If only they planned that single PCI slot a bit better.... I'd def give the board a try

it does look nice, but that pci slot is very non-usable if you go multi-gpu. I still think the slot placement on the DFI boards which started with the "expert" is superior to any of these boards.. I wish these mfgs would put an audigy chip onboard if they're going to make the pci slot(s) unusable.. :(
