Have to say it looks nice. Gonna have to wait for review on it before I decide to go DFI.

Wow I always wondered if they would bring all those features fom the intel board to 939. Hmm this is making me rethink my dfi ultra D purchase.

Same here thought it was gonna be intel only. I wouldn't mind getting it but it would put a dent in the UV theme I am trying to go with. The DFI PCI/DIMM slots are UV reactive along with the cables thats included. If I go Abit I would have to buy UV cables. Not sure if the 4-6 red LED's on the Abit are bright enough to hurt the UV lights. Might look cool?

Who knows? Still waiting for review before I decide for sure.

BTW I see it has memory cooling setup and 2 other fans in the back of the motherboard. Wonder how loud its gonna be? That might hurt the board.

UV cables are a couple bucks. I dont see those fans being that loud, then again theres no reviews so Im clueless. I just ordered my DFI ultra D and I have the weekend to change my mind.

True but only those would be UV reactive. Of course I was gonna get a couple UV fans aswell but it just wouldn't look as nice without some of the mobo glowing aswell. I will wait till Wednesday-Friday of next week for a review if its as good or better(unlikely) than the DFI I might go with it. If I do I will just us normal lighting. Also I've never owned a DFI but am wanting to try them. The Abit would have to offer more than just cooling fans and LED lights to get me to go with them. Even though I think Abit makes good boards(NF7-S 2.0 owner).

Can't wait for some reviews though.

Has anyone ever found UV replacement slots for a motherboard? I'm not afraid of desoldering slots off of a PCB.

Who knows? ABIT is seriously pi$$ing me off. I emailed them 3x in past week on WN-2S+ when where and how much..still no response. Imagine trying to do an RMA if they won't even reply to sales query.:|

BTW $200 for a non-sli board above LOL.

Edit Looks LOUD too 5 fans on just mobo.

Tyan wins again. At least if it ever gets LCS (leaky cap syndrome), I'm competent enough to go to mouser and get some decent replacements, and fix it.

Well thier totally different markets.

Tyan is da bullit proof server board, expensive tantalum caps, with PCIx requireing expensive ecc/reg ram not an overclocker..

Abit wn-2s is going to be an enthusiast board. with SLI no PCIx and runs unbuffered ram and NF4 highly clockable chipset.

look the abit is listed on thier regular mobo page, not server page over at ABIT

Cool. That would make it a nice cheap power user setup for my girl if nothing else. Slap on those 242s!

Overclocked dual-core opterons??? If that comes to be, Abit will be considered godly in my book!

That chipset is 380Mhz capable. Meaning with 242's lousy 8x multi you can still max them out.

I'm looking for 2600Mhz x 2

That's only 325HTT:D

I'm still buying this board but they better be hella more responsive.:|

They're not loud.. with uGuru you can make them silent when you don't need them, and very effective when you kick up the speed for some load.

I didn't mean to offend you. Anyway, I'm sure ABIT, EPoX and maybe others will at least demo a SLI board at CEBIT, but so far there's no info on a single processor ABIT nForce4 SLI motherboard.
