You can pre-order with me if you like as well - small things are sweet till everythings open :) (icq,msn or pm me)

Wouldn't mind that mobo actually - would be good to see a couple more reviews *drools anyway*

Anyone bought one yet?

[Joshsti_NZ]

Call me boring, but that yellow would definitely put me off buying it.

[Monza]

I don't care at all for looks, more concerned about stability than anything else.

[Ragnor]

Hmm it has alot of promise but I just don't think Chaintech are there yet as a top line manufacturer. They've been getting better and better... Not up the Abit level yet.

What you need is a good tough [H]ardOCP.com review of it, or even anand but anyway. Take a look at the OCNZ review of this board.

/looks around for any sign of KJ, ah the coast is clear. Yes my baby you're getting installed later today... *pats* his new Abit KX7333R .. you're better then one of those old KR7A's

That's what I want to get...... minus teh RAID coz I don't have an array of inexpensive redundant disks...... who did ya get it off and how much.... they're like $285 now (non-RAIDed) :(

[Volodkovich]

well, IMHO the colour scheme on it looks phat. A new company in the mobo scene needs to show customers theres something different about there boards...especially if they dont OC well...

Yeah ... only they chose the WRONG colors. I mean, if they had a jet black PCB, and then blue slots it'd be OK, but YELLOW!!!! That color is probably costing them money.
