Anyhow, the 2nd pic looks a whole lot better than the first pic. On the other hand, Asus does release boards which look so damn ugly so don't be surprised if they actually release that... thing.
SLI isn't part of X58. SLI on X58 boards will be just like on Skulltrail. It requires an nforce 200 bridge chip in order to use SLI.

Also this whole SAS controller thing is a waste. I'll stick with a hardware raid card thanks.
