    very freaking nice layout....very few things I dislike, this is what i've been waiting to see Looks like the socket will be a cinch to insulate as well.

    Look at all those USB ports....
    and all those sata ports....
    dual lan...
    firewire too....


    Only 2 things I see that I don't like right away - the board is all blue/baby blue/white (I'd prefer black board with darker colored slots, or at least no baby blue colors) and the IDE connector sticks out like a sore thumb being a different color than everything else!

    Oh yeah, and cost will probably be up there too I'd imagine.

    You have much to learn young skywalker, It quite obviously matches the color of the sticker on the 6channel audio jacks

    I only really have a few complaints, No need for 2 PS2 ( not a big deal ), power and reset location is not the greatest ( but at least they did it ). Color isn't 2 bad at least they stuck with mostly 2 colors. Ram will be a pita to install with larger coolers( theres only so much space on a mobo ). All in all if it has the bios options I want and actually works I will probably going for this one...

    Looks pretty nice. Not really digging the color scheme, but that doesn't matter much to me.

    The heatsink setup on the other hand looks pretty cool. I like that darker blue.

    Looks like 4+1 phases?
    SB-NB-VRM heatpiped all-in-one heatsink... Ick. Makes no sense especially since neither SB750 nor 790FX produce heat enought to require heatpiped cooling.
    .
    .
    .
    Dunno why but the bright blue CPU HSF bracket looks kinda strange. And it seems GB is starting to come to it's senses with the color choices.
    You were not supposed to see this.

    The most glaring issue I see is the placement of the 8-pin CPU plug- looks kinda awkward to unplug the cable from..

    other than that, that looks VERY nice
