EVGA FTW would be nice if it had intel NIC and wasn't $330

But as of right now, I think I'm gonna go for the UD5H along with a Sidewinder X4 keyboard (since I need to replace my PS/2 keyboard to use it).
Newegg now has the G1 Sniper M3 for anyone that was interested
GIGABYTE G1.Sniper M3

Hopefully this means the G1.Sniper 3 is coming soon
Holy shit, what are you connecting to the back of your computer?
Hmm, I'm at work, and it's at home...so here it is from memory.
1) Mouse
2) Keyboard
3) UPS Power supply
4) Monochrome Laser Printer
5) Color inkjet printer
6) USB webcam
7) CF card reader
8) Presonus VSL44 soundcard
Yep, I think that covers it. (actually, right now I'm using a ps/2 port for the keyboard, so my current MB has one rear USB port available, and my new rig will be using a logitech combo deal that will only use a single usb port for both, so I really only *need* 7 ports ;-) )
Day-um!
Intel DZ77GA-70K has 8 on the back. Or, pick any board you want (or use the bracket expander).

I didn't think it was that unusual, really...
But intel? Probably not. I assume most MBs will come with something that turns the internal USB ports into something I can mount in a PCI slot anyway?
what, no usb coffee cup warmer?

Why not intel? Their MoBo reviews have been pretty outstanding.
Most MoBos used to come with those PCI brackets, but not too many do anymore from what I've been noticing, so they are a separate purchase.
Got the sabertooth. ASRock makes acceptable boards, however I just moved from an ASRock Extreme 4 Gen3 to the sabertooth.
The problem with the Asrock was the fact that it utilized very poor controllers. (for example, USB 3 was an Etron controller) Tons of people experienced BSODs due to the Etron controller, and I experienced serious system instability whenever the USB 3 ports were in use. This remained the case even with the newer Etron drivers.
Also, esata was basically unusable as well.
For some reason Asrock is still using the etron USB 3 controllers on the Z77 boards.... so that is a deal breaker for me.
Fortunately Asus is using Asmedia controllers for the extra USB 3 ports, which are much better IMO.
I just got a new Intel® Desktop DZ77GA-70K today. There are some new features that I am really looking forward to having fun with.
Could you verify if bios on this board supports ATA security extension? I mean so called HDD password (not bios password but "hdd password").I just got a new Intel® Desktop DZ77GA-70K today. There are some new features that I am really looking forward to having fun with.

Would love for you to share your thoughts and opinions on it when you've had time to mess around with it a bit! Also, I may have just overlooked it in the tech specs, but do the new Intel branded Z77 boards have UEFI?

That three low and one high in front?4x monitors / 3 in surround
I see, I will checkout this "surround", must be something new (well, I havent built a computer since the Pentium 4, so pretty much everything is new). Well your setup looks "fan"tastic.The 680s can handle 3x1 now as it is a feature of the software. So it basically makes 2 monitors. Your surround one which is 3 monitors and then you activate the 4th in the display settings. It is still all done on / though nvidia. The on board will not be used at all.
On the 4th Ill have temps, vent, useful websites etc. Which I do have setup with 3 across the bottom and a 4th on top of the center.
Here is a link to my current build: Flickr Link
Just need to figure out this MB situation
