Typo?

No
Bad Asus = Anus.
And this one has layout issues, so it's an Anus.
C'mon, we're repeating the same things over and over again (VGA-RAM, x16s,
pwr connectors, heatpipes, CPU skt area), yet we see the same mistakes
again and again.

You could always go Hipro style though

Yep, but he's one crazy bastard overclocker!
Then again this board will probably be really good for watercooling.
And for phase/ln2?, dont worry, i bet ASUS releases 8 boards with X38 just as they did with P35

anus can give you good services

Actually I like the power regulation on this board. Sure, it's cramped, but it looks exactly the same as on P5K Premium which is a board that gives very high cpu overclocks compared to the Blitz-boards.

Yay! Even more intrusive heatpipes and copper colored aluminum than ever before!

i hear it had crossfire and sli support

As of today and until nvidia concedes SLi to Intel, officially the X38 chipset supports Crossfire only

I like the P5E's and P5E3's expansion slot layout better although the I/O panel is much better on this DELUXE model than the P5E. Between the three, I would probably go for the P5E3 but I'll probably just end up waiting for DFI's X38 boards anyway
