Is there any rhyme or rhythm on this onslaught of illfitting names? Did all these marketing departments of all motherboard manufacturers get together and decided to "one team, one fight" this? Next thing we know, we will have things like the "X58 Gladiator" which will have a shield for a heatsink, the "X58 Where's Waldo" where you have to find the one red/white cap, maybe even the "X58 Stealth" where every single component will be jet black, possibly even the "X58 Prius" which will have an LCD that will you show the percentage of power you are saving by using that particular motherboard over other standard X58 motherboards. 
On the other hand, that motherboard does look pretty badass.

LOL, nice one
hey, it may not clock any better but it sure does look expensive and the name in itself makes all other mobos shrivle up in the corner and short circuit..atleast they done away with those ugly butt white pci slots and blue memory slots...finally they made a board that is color coordinated, lol- Joined

I take my previous statement back. The board has not officially released. It was setup so those that were nearing the end of there step-up could go ahead and get in line before there step-up expires. Name another company that is willing to do something like this? I still have over 2 months left on my step-up but i went ahead and got in line today.

Yeah, but I can pay my rent twice with the price of that mobo. Besides, I can "play" with my setup just fine

thats a big "if" lol, If we do see one, it may not be until Intel releases their Larrabee(speculation.. not really based on anything). BUT it would be awesome to see one with the hydra and support for 3-way sli/CrossfireX(and quad, of course >=))

Quad? I am thinking on the lines of 16 gpu's with 2000fps in crysis no one can be too ambitious.

Good morning, Woot X58 board will be here thursday
Mac, I hope your Classified has arrived in perfect condition by now. Please post your thoughts as soon as you get your build up and running!
My board just came in about an hour ago. I got one off of EVGA.com before they sold out of their latest batch last Tuesday.

Any other Classified owners happy with their board? I've heard nothing but praises, aside from some high NB temperatures. Now I need to go open this box up and see if the beast inside is in tip-top shape.
