Asus P5K - P35 chipset(bearlake) from Intel

[Helevitia]

I've been eyeballing this mobo for about a month now. Very good feature set and highly overclackable. Some guy hit 610MHz FSB stable! It's not out in the US yet. According to Anand, he will psot his review on Monday. From what I've read, it will be available by June 4th.

The deluxe version has 10 USB ports, 8 sata(6 internal, 2 eSata), Only one PS/2 port. It's black and has a nice heatpipe setup around the board. I figure I'll get this board with a low-end chip, such as the E6400 and overclock the crap out of it and then when Penryn chips come out, I'll upgrade.
