Just scored one for $115 @ newegg a few weeks ago, might pick up another if this one comes up available again.
Edit: Just thought I'd post my own opinion of this board, for those who are on the fence:
I was once an ASUS fanboy. Even now, I don't have any compliants with any of the 3 ASUS boards I have owned. But DFI to me, is just so much more flexible in terms of function and design, that since the switch, I haven't looked back. Sure, there have been those moments of frustration, when something fails to work correctly, or what should work absolutely doesn't, etc, but when you do manage to find that intricate balance between your board and your components, there's not much quite like it. DFI makes an overclocker's board, of that there is no doubt. And there are far too many people out there without near enough patience, discipline- let alone skill- to claim the title.
Ergo, If you want to push your system to the limits, and you're motivated enough to educate yourself enough to do so, then DFI is your board. If you're a little more lax when it comes to OCing (i.e. FSB = the only acronym that holds any meaning to you), then stick with a reliable, quality ASUS board that won't let you down.
