Looks like ASUS want a piece of this cake...

Looks like a copy of the Zotac D-E mobo, but was it that hard to solder a DVI port like zotac did ?

i just got my hands on this board a few days ago, so far it is awesome. It has a HDMI port instead of DVI, which is fine with me since it's part of a htpc build.

A pci slot seems cheap nowadays

Why does it matter when it has an HDMI port instead?
You can just use a HDMI to DVI cable/adapter

Yes HDMI is actually better than DVI because HDMI can carry audio through the cable also.

Here is mine so far:

Here is an updated pic, I put a really quiet 80 mm fan over the heat sink and ram to keep both cooled. It's much quieter now. I see why Asus put a small 40mm fan embedded in the heat sink, it is to retain the 1U server height restriction. Fortunately I am using a 2U size chassis

worth the money ?
