Picked up the Mobo last night and put it together.

didn't have one hic up with the install.

For those worried about the 24 pin power don't. Im using a Antec Truepower 480W PSU with the 20 pin plugged straight into the socket leaving 4 pins exposed (only fits one way) and everything is sweet. Don't even bother with the 20 to 24 pin adapter more likely to cause you problems. Sound is working perfectly to (has the -5v)

Can't wait to get my games installed and to start playing.

The BIOS the board uses is the same as for the Neo4 Platinum/SLI as it has the options for the Marvel GB Nic and the Silicone Image SATA controller even though they are not phyically present on the mobo, I just disabled them and continued (probably wouldn't matter if you left them enabled as the PnP Bios wouldn't find them anyway).

Thank you for that information. I am currently contemplating getting this motherboard as well. If you run into any trouble-spots with it, or do some benchmarking, I would be intressted in hearing about it (especially the benchmarking results) :)
