excellent review and the product is a steal.

MSI outdid themselves with this board. $400 is exceptionally reasonable even w/o the wifi.
i dare say most w/c enthusiasts would agree as a typical EK monoblock is in the $175-200 ballpark by itself.
and the four M.2 is a slam dunk for those like myself that like clean builds (i.e. no sata cables) as long as you like Alder Lake.
they really should do the same thing with AM5

Full cover look always good, but the most cute board is the Asrock Aqua... But what a price

So this MSI is really welcome (half price of the Aqua).
