yes i agree, i was very close to buying a ASUS Striker Extreme but i figured whats the point? hehe i mean yer super! its got IO LCD poster with pretty little LED's.. its just not worth it. how many times do you need to look at your IO ports? if you can afford this motherboard then you can obviously afford a good case, therefore you will have USB/Fire wire ports accessible without having to fiddle around with the back of the case..... i highly agree with you aswell with that motherboard. i am also using the eVGA nForce 680i SLI motherboard and it was well worth it...
