AMD - SLI once again?

[Leman]

*I'm such an idiot. I thought that was a mATX board. Didn't occur to me at first. Delete/close please.*

A wild MCP78 motherboard has appeared!

For sure, there's:
-Dual BIOS
-Mostly solid caps (some smaller electrolyte caps)
-hueg liek xbawks MCP heatsink
-Yet another case of AMD and horrible 24-pin ATX cable positioning.
-Realtek sound chip
-8-pin CPU power
-COM, DVI out. No Coax/SPDIF
-CHA/CPU fan headers. One each.
-SLI
-6 SATA
-AM2+
-Hybrid SLI? (Mix and match I presume)

And if I'm correct:
-5 phase power
-Something I can't see right now.

What does /sff/ think of this in a NZXT Rogue?
Ok. So its not an mATX board. As stated above. (But does that not mean... SLI will be making its way to SFF again?)

I agree with the person in the one post, whoever put the PCI-E 1x slot in front of the heatsync should get smacked. My old mobo had this problem. Unless the card does not extend beyond the slot itself, good luck getting it to fit.

The board and its features do look neat though... except for the ancient RealTek audio. Oh well, only non-games and money savers use it (unless it is HD audio, that's cool).
