That board looks killer, nice choice. Is that a light-up logo on there too?

Thanks! Yessir, the ROG badge is illuminated, as wel as the Supreme xFi logo, there are also several other green/yellow/red status indicator LEDs on the board for CPU, Memory, NB, and GPU.

Besides cable management I like the orientation of the HSF in the previous version I think the chip n PWM bridge would benefit more, but nice choices on parts a fantastic build. ;) I should mention I've seen these specs in your sig for sometime now and admired it!!

Thanks bud! I toyed around with the orientation of the HSF in the 1200. The top 200mm fan was much closer to the top of the motherboard in the 900, but in the 1200, the dual rear fans are closer. Between the two orientations I saw no difference in temps on the chipset, voltage circuitry, or anything else, and you can see the green fan better this way!

I know it's not the most high end build ever, but I'm really loving it, I can't believe how awesome Crysis looks! I used to think Oblivion looked awesome on my 7800GT!
