Pre-Order though

Nice board, nice price, will have to check out what the power consumption will be like.

BUT

The first thing I look for in an ITX is where the front panel connectors are, this board doesn't agree with me

Oh IDE connector ? Come on - just give us an extra couple of sata ports instead

LOL ! Hadn't noticed that .... Front audio header ! OUCH !

Plus look at where the front usb headers are... right at the back of the board(top right) :rolleyes:

Oh well ... it's a Sapphire

Ahh as far away from the front of the board as possible...makes perfect sense to me.

Makes you wonder, what other features are you missing for an IDE port?

You can boil a kettle of water with an IDE port!! lol
