It spends its life in a metal box under your desk and only sees the light of day when something goes wrong.]]>Mar 3rd 2009 4:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/03/hands-off-with-asus-marine-cool-concept-motherboard/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/03/hands-off-with-asus-marine-cool-concept-motherboard/Mar 3rd 2009 5:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/03/hands-off-with-asus-marine-cool-concept-motherboard/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/03/hands-off-with-asus-marine-cool-concept-motherboard/Mar 3rd 2009 5:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/03/hands-off-with-asus-marine-cool-concept-motherboard/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/03/hands-off-with-asus-marine-cool-concept-motherboard/
Aero-grade ceramic-metal cooling components? Isn't that something like the thermal plate from those NASA shuttles? Sounds mighty expensive.

And onboard UPS? Unless they are using fusion reactors under those heasinks I can't see anything that is powerful enough to serve as an onboard UPS for a high end computer.

And this failover memory I think, adds little advantage and may cause more problem. I'd pay $50 for a spare set of memory other than having ASUS soldered it on the motherboard.

Oh, and I hope the SODIMM RAM slots are just a joke or a hastily done show case. I can't think of any reason to buy a motherboard that looks like a X58 with 2 SODIMM slots on it, I just can't.]]>Mar 3rd 2009 6:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/03/hands-off-with-asus-marine-cool-concept-motherboard/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/03/hands-off-with-asus-marine-cool-concept-motherboard/"And onboard UPS?

I think the whole point of it isnt how long you can run your PC for when the power goes it will probably have some feature that if the power goes there is just enough juice for it to automatically shut down your pc for you.]]>Mar 3rd 2009 6:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/03/hands-off-with-asus-marine-cool-concept-motherboard/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/03/hands-off-with-asus-marine-cool-concept-motherboard/
