Awesome, great photos too Henry, really enjoyed that read. ordering one today as I am not moving to haswell this generation.
Well that is a beautiful design, I love the dragon engraved into the heatsink. excellent power delivery potential. Price point is quite competitive, considering the big foot networking adds a lot of the cost.
MSI bioses are solid, I always buy them. I am waiting on haswell and their high end board for the 4770k.
Good product though, just at the end of a life cycle which might stop sales a little. Haswell is due in a few months.
