killer NIC is cheaper than intel

also it will have full coating, for condensation again

$220USD is target price

UEFI is in full HD @ 16:9 looking nicer than last time.

Best part is no hanging at A3 and 9D for 15 seconds sometimes like z87 mannnn that was bugging me.

220 For the full board or the mATX

thinking I will grab the z97m if it is as capable as the z87m

I would have thought Killer to be expensive

[Splave]

No z97m this time just big board.

Bummer, Love the price on the microATX boards

220 is not bad though

Yea I'm thinking about the Mini ITX or the one micro atx that can support DDR3 3200mhz. Mostly the mini.

I like the mATX for price and you can run SLI/XFire on them

that Impact looks wicked but would have to make a new benching board

wow I've been really out of the loop!
the z97 looks pretty nice from what I can tell, too bad I am still on z77 lol

Did you Bont it out? If so sell it, move up............

Just thinkng out loud here:

I have to agree the price on these boards look good but wondering about the price on the new Devil's Canyon chips to come. The prices on what's currently available for 1150 aren't too bad but I'm wondering what the price would be for the new pieces once released.

Too bad I'm on the skids related to any hardware purchases for sometime to come and I mean for sometime - Hospital bills are killing any and all hopes of getting new toys and until I can get those paid off, it's "Lather - Rinse - Repeat" for me.

Would they be worth it vs what's available now based on useage?
I know for the bot you gotta get one of the new chips when they come out, that's a given if you want to keep scoring boints instead of regrinding the older stuff you already have. Besides it's always fun to try and figure out the new ones anyway.

Witchy knows I did manage to pick up an 1155 setup not too long ago but haven't had time to do a proper setup with it yet plus I'm still learning what translates into what from an AMD to an Intel BIOS. Slowly getting the hang of it and like anything else it's another learning experience for me.

@ Witchy:
Hopefully before long I'll find out if the Sandy can really do it or not and I'll probrably be one lucky SOB if it does considering how I got it.
