Oh man, this is killer... I just got my Classy 3 way and an EK block for it, and I already want the Assassin. That price is pretty damn steep, but I love the refresher of a color scheme (it does indeed remind me of DFI boards) as well as the Bigfoot chip.

Great review there as well.

If you could do some tests in game Sin, such as load up Bad Company 2 on both your UD5 and the Assassin and compare ping times and maybe some loading times, idk some real world "gaming" bench marks that don't have anything to do with the GPU.

Really looking forward to see how the rest of this boards capabilities play out (no pun intended). Interestingly green is one of my least favorite colors, so it says a lot that I want this board with green tubing for my loop Now to raise ~$650 by selling old parts..hmm
