If the board will indeed work without days of setting it up, I'm in for sure. I don't really care about a case, I'll just run it on a bench or fab something quick.

What're the option for heat sinks? Anyone research this yet?

I'd need two more Danger Den TDXs if I wanted to water cool it

Actually, that may be the cheapest option for me. I have a single rad and 2 DD TDX blocks with universal mounts.. TDX unis are dirt cheap these days. I'd need a backplate for the board, though...
