Nice review Aruffell the only thing I don't like is having the Sata connecters facing out and not up.I have an Asus board with the the Satas facing the same way and I had to take the HHD Caddy out cut the lip off with tin snips so that I could fit more than a couple of Sata drives. Mind you if I was ever lucky enough to get my hands on this board, then it would have to be a new case.

Nice looking building. Like the contrast with white fans.

Awesome review, awesome MB. But Sabetooth is still ordinary MB with extra quality components. When Crosshair is more overclocker's one.

that does look very, very nice, but id still rather a sweet black PCB like the GB boards have and ditch the thermal armour :/!
