winer huh?
We need an international contest
Congrats Scott.
winer huh?
I'm sure the Gigabyte marketing department will thank me when I say... "that's a hell of a board."
No seriously, it looks engineered well enough to run in a high temperature, high load PC environment, which is what the board is intended to do with 3 video card slots, correct?
Proper power connector placement, low profile assembly, ample room for the Noctua UP12 HSF (As if you would use anything else), no crowding the RAM for potential RAM cooling. Even the USB ports look like you can access them easily when the system is loaded...see, you insert half of them edge on, the other half perpendicular. All bases are covered. I notice all that from the picture!
I meant to say SATA instead of USB and I can't edit my post..sorry!
Booo!!! LMAO should have been me not him.. :^P
I never noticed this contest. Good for Scott.
I never heard about this contest...
Congrats to the lucky winner.
One of these days I'll win. Congratz to Scott the fellow Texan.
When are you going to make these contests available to people outside of the United States?

Damn! I saw "Scott" and "Texas" and my heart skipped a beat before "Garland" could register.
This contest is fixed. Obama told me I would win it. I'm voting republican next time.
