ASRock is back in da house, this time with the X470 Taichi . A motherboard that positions itself in the high-end range of X470, nicely built motherboard really and good looking is what it screams.

No they are not. These boards have more features then $500 board from 4-5 years ago.
Board is $139. How is that ridiculous?
Order me one with your insider prices please

Board price is Good, it costs about same as did Athlon XP board I had around year 2000.
Inflation vs. features. Board prices are good. My original plan for 2700X system was to get this exact board. But they were not available at 2700X launch.
It even has upper M.2 slot above GPU, so heat is not blocked by it. Nor is GPU blowing hot air on your speedy SSD.

The whole point is its stock.
The prices on these newer boards are getting ridiculous though

As I just found an old invoice from 2011, when a low end socket 1366 (Intel's enthusiast platform) board from Asus cost me 181€... just sayin'
