CompuHQ has a shotty reseller rating.

AxionTech has it on "Special Order," meaning it's not in stock but will order it from one of their vendors and have it shipped 1-2 weeks after you order it.

Don't mean to hijack the thread, but I am looking into this board and in reading about it have found ifno stating the last PCI slot is a dedicated WLAN/bluetooth slot.

2 questons, by dedicated does that mean only WLAN or bluetooth devices can be seated in that slot? And what purpose does it serve over sticking a PCI WLAN card in a standard PCI slot?

No, it functions as a regular PCI slot. I'd guess the BIOS is setup to recognize the device in that particular PCI slot and perform some magic incantation like having the WLAN device actually work from jump ;)

The only problem I'm seeing with this board at the moment is whether it's worth the nearly 100% price premium it carries over the VNF3-250 if you don't need Ge LAN.

Ordered one - anyone interested in taking my K8T Neo off my hands - it's less than a week old.

Will the Zalman CNPS7000A-Cu mount on this board. It doesn't seem to have the holes to mount the backplate thing, but it does have the mounting bracket surroudn the socket, does this allow it to work?

In my case the board will be installed horizontally, so I am not to worried about it stressing the socket.
