Very nice board and great price. I like the black colour theme, it looks very nice inside my case. Installed an i7 960 with this bad boy and paired it with corsair ram. I recommend this board to anyone who doesn't plan on overclocking their i7.

I always hear good things about ASUS. I like the features and the looks of the board. It has everything I want without being as expensive as some of the other motherboards for the 1366 socket Works great with my I7960 CPU and Cosair XMS3 Ram. Really like the layout as well fits my Zalman CNPS9900A CPU cooler easy without being in the way. Which is great due to the fact the cooler is quit large.

I like this board a lot. Asus usually makes a great product, and this was no exception. They built this thing to last, with its military grade components. The board fits well in my custom build, and awesome how there are a few 6bg SATA ports as well.
