So, I had come across this board at least a few weeks ago, but didn't look too deeply into it. I just tonight was looking at it again, also talking with a couple other computer geeks in my guild about it, and we were debating like, wtf do you do with this monster? So, if I'm reading it right off that page on newegg, if you want to SLI or Crossfire, you can go full dual x16 cards, one in slot 1, and one in slot 5. So they would also knock out slots 2 and 6 no doubt because of the sizes of most video cards nowadays. To keep those slots x16, you need to keep slots 3 and 7 empty. So essentially if you wanted to go dual SLI/Crossfire with full dual x16 cards, you'd only have two open PCIe slots left for SATA controllers. Granted, I'm still learning things, so if I'm totally wrong on any of this, please call me out, I don't do the whole SLI/Crossfire scene. I'm a WoW player and see no need for going further than one video card. :P
Sooooo, say you only wanted to put a video card in slot 1, and then you had everything else, 'cept for slot 3 to fill up at your pleasure. What would you do with it? (Assuming you have absolutely no budget, you may go crazy with this thing.) I know I'd probably get a RevoDrive or two, some more SATA drives, go full on insanity SSD and have a blast. Probably get a GTX 570 or 580. (Not interested in 3D.) Would love to hear some other crazy ideas.
So yeah, essentially this is a topic talking about this absolute beast of a board, what its potential is, what it's flaws (if any) are, and what you'd do with it if you had the cash to go balls to the wall with it.
