Nice photos mate. You'll have to teach me to use this camera I've got now. I think it's basically the same as your's wasn't it?

Looking forward to your first results

Hahah yeah I reckon. It looks wild and nothing like a heatsink. Fingers crossed it doesn't screw with cooling

possible I'm behind the times....

great looking board - thanks for the preview
The next issue of The Overclocker (yeah, I know guys! trust us; very freakin close!) has a sneak peak at an MSI X58 but it is more of a general look and we've included some information regarding multi-GPU solutions.

As for which boards will be CF, which will be SLI and which ones will be both (if that's possible!?), will be dependent on licensing agreements and what features the manufacturers choose to enable i believe. For example, for a board to support SLI, even without the nForce200 chips, it will have to go through NVIDIA's SLI qualification process and this obviously costs money so could still continue to see the lower end of the multi-GPU market dominated by CF setups.
