Fatal1ty vs DFi Lanparty.

I have read about 4 reviews of each board. I'm not seeing what makes the Fatal1ty worth almost 200 bucks. The ram cooling thing looks hokey to me. I do like the layout. One thing a few reviews said about the Lanparty, it was a bit cramped, I have a huge heatsink, I think about the biggest on the market (TT Beetle)

is the Fatal1ty that much better, or is it mostly hype? 2 of the reviews raved about how well it OC'ed, and the other 2 said it wasn't the best in that area. I don't need SLI, I just want a solid, feature packed MB. Don't mind spending 2 bills on the ABIT if it's really worth it
 
I have the DFI and I might get the abit for another rig. Both seem like great boards. The memory cooling is good, especially if you oc ur ram and up the voltages.
 
do you have a large heatsink on it? I'm interested in the Lanparty, but 2 reviews said big heatsinks might not fit. TT has no MB compatiblity list, and I haven't seen any comments on the mb + the heatsink I have. Would hate to order the board only to have my sink not fit on it.

The Fatal1ty SLi is better, but not the regular Fatal1ty.

Well i really enjoy the Fatal1ty boards but it is difficult to justify paying $200 for a non SLi mobo.
