This is a very important slot position for people running two graphics cards plus a soundcard, it gives you 3 slot spacing for two GFX cards in 16x slots 1 + 3 (the third slot massively improves heat dissipation and reduces GPU temps), and a slot for a soundcard in the middle.

For a board this expensive, the slots should at least be done right, as the layout on the R3E is.
That may be just fine for your "gaming" motherboard, but how many overclockers have you seen running Liquid nitrogen and banging out the tunes?
