That board is awesome!  My first choice for an i7 board would be the non-extreme version of this board (the UD5). From what I've seen, the board is the same aside from the elaborate northbridge cooling. (The UD5 has a more conventional heaptipe cooling system.)

P.S. I think that I'm going to get one, if I'm going to do my first DIY, I might as well go large.

Although the gayish(IMO) blue/white color-scheme is a turn-off... i bet it performs great. Dammmmmmm that's a complicated looking heatpipe system.

What's with the trend to put enormous southbridge heatsinks on the board that have no fins? This seems very....inefficient.
