Doesn't anyone know anything about Apogee?

I'm installing the Chaintech Apogee 7VJL (VIA KT333 chipset, of course) mobo in a new computer this weekend, and I need to know if there are any issues with it. Please, anyone who has had any experience with this motherboard - especially problems - post to this thread and let me know. I'm looking for any incompatibilities or problems/concerns... ANYTHING! I'm installing a Swiftech MCXC370 HSF in it, so if there are any problems with large heatsinks, please let me know. I have been to a few review sites and so far haven't come up with anything. But there always is, isn't there?
 
The Apogee just hit the market so few will have much experience with it--so a lot of what you hear will be baseless blather. Chaintech is a member of the PC Cheaps group which doesn't have a great rep. But I have heard nothing but good about the boards they built around the SiS 7x5 chipset (7SID, etc.). The Apogee has gotten a fair amount of hype mainly based on the package, not the mobo itself. All flash, no cash... You can get the side junk anywhere. I'd go for a well known mobo and add the other junk as needed. YMMV.
