DANG, did it actually say $1100 in the article!? I kinda skimmed it real quick, to see if that was mentioned, but must've overlooked that..... in any case, yeah, although I agree with Jokester that it looks pretty good, there's not a chance in hell I'd be plunkin' down that kind of cash on a motherboard, ESPECIALLY when it takes way too much cash for other important parts(RAM, storage, GPU, etc.)!

Asus tax, gigabyte tax, msi tax, etc etc etc.

Waiting for scrapers to try offloading on FBM like those that got the EVA and Gundam series parts. Nothing wrong with those 2 anime and manga (I read and watched both) but I suspect very limited amount of people will pay the premium for it. Case and point, this guy on Vancouver FBM trying to offload ASUS ROG Matrix RTX 5090 at $7.5 for his partner which reads his partner has a hard time offloading as well and they got multiple units.
