DFI MB's

[QueBert]

I'm thinking about upgrading to an i7 system. I noticed DFI has an x58 MB coming out, looks pretty sweet, but as with every other DFI MB I see, there's no E-SATA. I had to look at the specs twice, nope not there. I've never seen a DFI board with it, and it's not like the Lanparties are cheap $70 MBs. This would actually be a useful option for me. I know I could get a E-SATA bracket and hook it up that way but a nice MB with it built in to the IO panel would be sweet.

Does anyone know if there's a particular reason DFI doesn't put these ports on their boards? They seem to have everything else in the world but these

I have the DFI UT X58-T3EH8 installed and running now http://i4memory.com/showthread.php?t=12855

Yes there is no ESATA - not sure why they don't do ESATA though
