This is a Taiwan company that has a very good reputation for computer products and is cheaper in China (where I am located)than most other mobo's. It has a 3yr warranty and is a bit less than $200. The main thing that I see differnt between thus and say the gigabyte brand type boards is the memory only supports 1333mhz as compared to some that go all the way up to 2000mhz. So what do you think?

Don't know about the brand, no comment.
Go to chinese forum and ask.

i was curious on what people thought about the specs.

It's pretty standard among the i7 world. Though with all those memory slots and 16x PCI-Express connectors, it does look pretty high end... However, that does not vouch for it's actual stability and performance. Unless you can find some real world tests and all using it, I would stray away.

Why would you even need that many PCI-E slots? Just pointless if you ask me but the specs look standard really.

EDIT: WTF @ THE MOTHERBOARD POWER SLOT!?

Really a weird place to put the 24 pin board power connector.
