Even a bust clock tells the right time twice a day.

That's less than I thought. No doubt it'll drop further once gouging subsides a bit

Motherboard Pro here in the States already sold out their 30 or so ... and no one has seen a review on it! That's some pretty dog-gone brand loyalty there ... I couldn't pull the trigger on that until I at least had seen one or two reviews on it. Oh well, as you said Clunk, the prices will come down and the reviewers will have an opinion soon, so I can wait.
There's always the ASUS board and the Gigabyte ... we'll see.

I know that the UK/EU review samples were a few days late because they had to ship from TW to NL first and then from NL to everywhere else and they got caught up in the Xmas post.
I'll have my review up in the next few days hopefully

Still in transit, stuck in the xmas/new year backlog I suspect. There's a few items that should have been here before xmas that haven't got here yet, so as soon as it arrives, I'll update here

I am going to assume that you are asking about my monitor ... I have two, a Samsung 225BW (max res of 1680x1050) and a Hanns-G HG281D - Full 1080P 28" monitor w/max res of 1900x1250. Here's what my desktop screenshot looks like of my 24/7 rig with the Samsung. A picture I took one morning of the sunrise here in Tok, Alaska.
I don't have a screenie of my Hanns-G but that is really only used for the test bench and when I game ...

Boy ... I can't wait ... Over here in the States, the 'Egg has the mobo listed at $299.99 and they are in stock. But no reviewer has posted anything about the board. I really want to get it, but I want to read about how well it performs. I have my fingers crossed you're going to get yours very quick and your review will be up even quicker ...

@AKHandyman: I think affiliate13 meant by "whats your screen like? " for you to give him a little feedback about input lag, viewing angles, how nice the black is and stuff like that about the display(Hanns-G that is).
affiliate13 if you are in the market for a nice display I can warmly recommend you the HP LP2475w, H-IPS panel,24" absolutely stunning. And this is a first hand experience.
