uhh no thanks. Not a fan of microATX boards, and the lack of PCIe channels could be a real problem, as more stuff (slowly it seems) moves from PCI to PCIe. Oh and define "cheap" because it seems one person's "cheap" is another persons "pricey" or somewhere in between or whatever. A solid number would be helpful.

That prototype board is hideously ugly and bare, but I'm assuming being a prototype the final product would be a bit more filled out?
