hey. atleast it got an external handle to carry it to the waste bin...:p:

That antenna thingy looks friggin ridiculous lol.

AT least heatsinks are not copper colored aluminium.

PS. It MUST be detachable - it would ot fit into standard sized box, and I doubt the would give bigger box just for the antenna to fit.

hm, judging from the transfer of mobo manufacturers to heatpipe-coasters (MSI FTW! :D ), i wonder what is the next step behind these EXT antennas,

btw, can we discuss something else than the cooling solution? :)

+all solid caps, pwr,rst buttons, ide port, twisted sata ports, hopefully the retail price ...

At last Biostar moved the ATX24 connector to the side, but now they have
that idiot cooling instead.. well, at least it's a step better than the connector...

If it will be as cheap as they make it seem, and clocks well, I might think of this.

fo real man, if they made the option to choose our board with or without heat pipes/sinks it would save so much $$$ cause as soon as i get a board the first thing comes to mind is water.

makes two of us once more ;) Lian Li V600B :)

didn't hear that much of Biostar Mobos up to now, they're more OEM, aren't they?

would be interesting if a manufacturer would sell his Mobo without any heatsinks installed xD what do you think, how many DAUs would try to run it without any cooler?
