    This is a great motherboard! Its built in SAS ports are wonderful. You can find some 15k rpm hard drives on ebay and RAID0 them together for amazing performance. This motherboard also has some pretty good overclocking options in the bios, and is capable of a pretty nice overclock. The only thing I don't really like with this board is that if you use the Promise T3 controller for SATA or SAS hard drives, it takes an extra 10 seconds or so to start up because it goes through and scans the drives connected to the board.
