EVGA X58 Motherboard Confirmed - don't get set on other offerings just yet!
I've known this for quite some time now, and I just didn't know if it was still under NDA or not, but - EVGA will be releasing an X58 motherboard that will *hopefully* release at the launch of Nehalem. I've talked to a few people at EVGA about this, and they are very hush hush about timeframes but they did say there is an EVGA X58 platform in the works.
Absolute confirmation can be found in NVIDIA's latest press release:

“EVGA is continuing its tradition of bringing true enthusiast platforms to the market following the success with NVIDIA nForce-based SLI motherboards supporting Intel CPUs,” said Joe Darwin, Director of Technical Marketing at EVGA. “By licensing NVIDIA SLI technology, the EVGA X58 motherboard will deliver the ultimate 2-way and 3-way SLI platform to, once again, meet the enthusiast’s demand.”

With that said, don't get your eyes set on the ASUS P6T or Gigabyte EX58 offerings because, as stated from my sources, "they will suck compared to this monster!"
In addition, here is a blog entry written by Theo Valich from Wordpress describing the situation:
P.S. I'd also like to note that this will be EVGA's first Intel chipset board.

This thing had better be the best overclocking board out there or else it won't stand a chance.
. Sorry everyone.
