Great, thanks for that!
But how do I buy the EVGA?
I can't find it anywhere on Google?

Goto EVGA's site and sign up for email notification for when it will be available.
Then sit at your PC 24/7 until notified..
They had a few (50-100? )available the other night and went in under 10 minutes..
I got one for a guy in Germany before they disappeared.
More should be available in the next 10-14 days.
Thanks, you have really helped. One last question, if you don't mind. In general, can I always attach a sound card to a motherboard if it has the available slot? The D12X says you have to use an MIO sound card, but couldn't I just attach a sound card to another slot? e.g. PCIe or PCIX?
Sorry if this seems like a stupid question - building my first PC.

what the heck is an MIO soundcard?
oh, an Asus proprietary standard... go figure. Doesnt seem to be pin compatible with PCI-E 1x according to some info on google, but I cant find a pinout for it to actually see so... :(
yes, you can use a normal soundcard in any other slot, just not the MIO slot.
Sound card, ask in the sound section, I don't have an answer for you.
Your first PC?
OK,you need to do some reading and IF you decide on the SR2 board it needs a special case..Time to read my friend

Spotswood also builds custom cases; I saw a few 3D sketches of a proposed SR-2 chassis. Mind you, most of his work is with wood.
