It arrived have everything set-up and running just finalizing drivers and proggys before i post any views on the system.
 
FINISHED NOW everything still looks dwarfed due to the size of the case. running at 3.8ghz (full stability unconfirmed) 2400mhz NB,200x19 cpu,1.45V
stable for 73 minutes on prime plus passed super pi to 1 million and 8 million (full test tomorrow)
things on the agender for the future
windows 7 ,64bit
spray inside of case black :)
small SSD drive for windows and another for games
another apache fan for push/pull config
another 5770 or sell the 5770 and get a 5870 (might try x fire first tho)

Nice one mate let us know how you get on!
But that looks like a bloody huge box for a PSU, unless it's just the picture :D
What's full spec list in the end?

Well tbh the motherboard is awesome.
lots of features, more bios options than i can bare to look at,
only did a small overclock to start adjusted ht and cpu-nb to 2200mhz and changed the multi to 18x whcih gave me 3.6Ghz
changed the ram settings to 1600mhz (which is very easy on this mobo) with 8-8-8-24 timing at 1.65 volt
quick super pi 1million took 19 seconds and 8million took 3minutes 59seconds
a 45 minute blast on prime 95 got me a highest temp reading of 47degrees using the thermolab baram and 1 apache fan (another fan is coming next week to use in push pull)

only thing i noticed up to now is that increasing the FSB above 210Mhz results in firefox not opening but that is easily combated with using the multi.

Not a bad start for a new build and especially considering my overclocking experience is quite limited with this set-up.

will post more later when i've got the cable management finished.
