Asus's boards are so overpriced it makes you feel stupid if you own one.
It depends. The ROG series is definitely overpriced, but even enthusiasts don't really need the ROG boards. The standard boards still offer great features for much cheaper, and if you get one on sale they offer a great value. Both of my M5990X Evo's I got for under $100 from newegg, that is a great value.
But at the same time ASRock is my choice for real value if I can't find a decent deal on an ASUS board. ASRock always offers a great value.
