We have some pics of the LanParty P35-T2R and -T3R and they look very similar to the X38 LanParty motherboards.
They also feature the digital PWM, which according to the article should improve overclockability. I wonder what that hole between the I/O-connections is for? Just hope they get a good price and that they are on time... Looks good though!

I wonder what that hole between the I/O-connections is for?

Since I own the DFI LP 680i board which uses similar Digi PWM and it's hotter than hades, I expect that the gap in the I/O plate is for some kind of cooling... perhaps a small fan or for heatpipes that will extend out the rear of the case?!

I'll be surprised if they can pull off an effective passive cooling system with this and especially X38 which is supposed to run hotter. I say this because the 680i board I have requires active cooling for the PWM alone and if you are trying to "pipe" the SB and NB heat over there, you're asking for smoke IMHO.
