1)well actually he's wrong, there is enough clearance for the video cards. Once the ram is in place the white support clips are clicked in allowing clearance.

2)Both lan ports are in the same "box", they consolidated it this time wit the new chipset instead of using a marvel and a realtek

3)nobody uses ide anymore anyways and even so , its not that big of an issue
, i actually like the placement

4)the pci-e slots give more then enough room for any cooling.... as you can see. theres a lot of room. what coolers do you know that go past the nb anyway? NONE

that picture was over criticized and not thought out, jumped to conclusions too quickly without scanning the mobo further
