You know, whenever a budget segmented product is to be found, there's ECS. But since ECS is trying get a more reach in the enthusiast market, I wasn't surprised to see them release the product as shown today.
A mainboard in the 125-140 USD range, yet ECS style - with a bucket load of features like integrated graphics, HDMI connector, passive cooling, 8-channel sound, dual GigE ethernet, Crossfire ready ... and decent tweakability.
