    It is something expected since all those gamer boards from Gigabyte has at least BigFoot Killer NIC and Creative Sound chips (except the Guerilla).

    Those hardwares once you buy separately each one cost more or less US$100.

    And the color scheme is not attractive IMO. It does not leave many options for H20 color combinations.

    Still its totally bad marketing with the magazine thing ..could have built a board with a normal looking southbridge and maybe decals...if the southbridge wasnt connect to the heatpipe and i was given the board for free id put a different heatsink on and then maybe the thing would look good enough ,so you dont look like a 10yr old with the newest Marvell toy from a movie...
    good lord that is one ugly board...not saying its not a performer, it is, but i cant get by the theme.....
