It's interesting to see so many company's (voodoo/alienware) use the 790I systen with crossfire tech,and as for the debate over Intel Vs. Nvidia at the moment the Nvidia motherboard is the only one can run either crossfire or SLI (crossfire via hacked drivers), giving the consumer more options if they want sli down the track they can without buying a new board just swap out the vid cards, and from some of the benches i've had my techs run at my shop with the right setup 790IU can keep up with the Intel chipsets even beat them in single/dual setup, true nvidia are harder to overclock and the main attraction is SLI, but being able to choice either is a nice addition one mobo for all system setups.... as for the case to much plastic a nice silverstone (falcon) or the old Omen (lian li from Voodoo PC) was a nice touch
