That is definitely a unique layout.

Dual Gigabit lan, Sounds like an excellent choice for a mini NAS/Router box

It's pretty well equipped, but nothing that blows ASRock/ASUS motherboards out of the water. The layout looks extremely awkward to work with... the 24-pin power connector is in an unusual location that places it farther from the PSU in most configurations I've seen, and putting the SATA and other connectors behind the video card and memory could make for some messy cable running. Props to them for using what appears to be laptop-sized memory slots, though. That is a smart choice for Mini-ITX.

Well the 1155 socket is spun 90 degrees could lead to heat sink directional airflow issues but I bet most users will only use the stock Intel heat sink, it uses so-dimms instead of desktop memory, it feels all around very cheap. The COM ports make this more business ready though, would be a good upgrade considering a sizable amount businesses still use Pentium 4s that are prone to crashes and freezing

From the looks of it I'll keep my ASROCK Z77 ITX.
