Anyone psycho enough to try the Aopen AX4B-533 Tube Motherboard? It's got vacuum tube audio... It looks like fun mobo to use, but the OC options don't look to bright...
 
I'm not crazy or rich enough to pony up for that board.

I must confess, my first response was "What moron thought of this?" Vaccum tubes throw off hella heat and, despite the myth, a tube-powered amplifier is not inheriently better than a solid state design. Trust me, there were plenty of crappy sounding tube stereos back in the day.
