They were at Microcenter on launch, not many though. Asus is popular and pushed as a brand at MC, so just like the 3900x they were gone before the opening line was done clearing out.
Mine is on the way from newegg. If I went back to the day I ordered, I could flip a coin and get the Gigabyte Aorus Master for the same price. It adds Wifi (that I would never use) and a third M.2 slot that I may use in the future. My current board is Asus and I've been happy with it and the memory QVL list seems larger on Asus vs. Gigabyte, so I went Asus. Now I need to figure out RAM. I want 32 GB of 3600 in two sticks, but the QVL listed stuff seems very difficult to find or crazy expensive. There seems to be more available if you go with 4 DIMMS, but I'd like to stick with 2 to stress the IMC less. It looks like with the 16x2 configuration, they only looked at the really expensive stuff with CAS 17 or 18.
however, the ROG CROSSHAIR VIII HERO has 8 SATA ports compared to the Gigabyte Master's 6... also, when the third m.2 slot of the master is used, it disabled another 2 SATA, leaving you with 4... Depends on what is more important to you. my understanding that on the asus, all 8 SATA are always available
