MSI has a fantastic motherboard on a budget, specially with the $20 mail in rebate (if I ever get it back). Fantastic warranty and great design. Plenty of room for two cards in SLI or crossfire. I absolutely love the click BIOS that MSI provides.

For the price this is one of the best looking boards out there. And with those looks also comes the ability to oc quite a bit for a board in this price range. If you need a gamin board with abilty to oc this is the one. I didnt need the features of z68 so why not save some money right? Very pleased with msi.
