    It's supposed to be retail on the 26th. How long do you think after that before the block is out?

    Well, if you guys did not start making the block yet I'd suggest don't make it at all. The board is priced pathetically, $400 for it. Nobody will buy it at that price. Far cry from the rumored $250.

    Well if the price is lower and in US$ then it will be cheaper for Aussies to buy from overseas thanks to the exchange rate atm.

    Haven't seen any retailers on this continent stocking this board yet as it really is aimed at niche overclockers.

    Yeah, the board is just too expensive to be worth it. I do not know what Gigabyte was thinking.

    I hadn't planned on WCing the mobo this time around but since WCing the GPUs is out (thanks MSI for the custom boards) I might just do it.
