After four dead EVGA 680i's in a row, there's no chance I'll ever get this board.
But it does look great, EVGA seems to have gotten well into a solid stride on the motherboard side.
I suspect we'll see some eye-popping results with these boards, and I'll drink to that much!
I think the 680i was just the worst release ever... I went through two Abits, one eVGA, and finally got a good one in a Gigabyte... I wouldn't think badly of eVGA for anything related to 680i.. lol.. that was a terrible release.
EDIT: I believe those eVGA (BFG and XFX) 680i boards were all built by Foxconn also.. I am guessing eVGA is now making it's own current boards?

I don't know if this thread is the right place to ask but: Have Gigabyte or Asus offered up any nf200 boards yet?
Asus has P6T6 WS Revolution.
