I payed like 250,-€ for my DFI nF4 eXpert when it came out, iirc.
and was it worth it? did it run better than a 160€ SLI-DR?

well i don't even blame the board manufacturers. (although asus has been a little shameless over the last years)

i guess the X58 chipset and SLI License make up a great part of the boards price. and on top of that it even comes with a water block and a pot. so yeah, considering it's an X58 board, it's not a bad deal. but it's still a hundred bucks more than a decent x48 board which even comes with an onboard memory controller! think about it!
