The classic ASUS QC issues are making me wary of that one too but to be honest they seem to ship more high-end boards than other manufacturers, so statistics wise...

Anyway I was more than willing to look past most of the above because of the bonus features, the layout and especialy the looks (I was't even considering going Core i7 until your masterpiece hit ) but that HardOCP review drew the final straw with me, so I'm now looking at either DFI UT or non NF200 Classified. No offense man.
If you want to know what this board is capable of check out my CPUID for my DO stepping in my sig. I will admit that if the Classified was the same price or if money was not an issue I would probably do it for the ability to hit higher than 222BCLK. Other than the Classified I do not know of any boards that can do it without some extreme cooling like LN2.
