Wow, just wow.

Even the EVGA SR-2 isn't that much. What a complete and utter ripoff. LULZ Gigabyte is just crazy.

Unless they are shipping the thing with a Thai hooker, I ain't payin' that.

I agree. the UD7 is still a top-of-the-line board as far as I'm concerned. For the price difference between the UD7 and the UD9, the new features just dont justify it.

$700 for a board that only has 2 SATA 3 ports when my $110 890GXM-G65 has 5?

Completely unwarranted price. Onboard sound and LAN aren't even very good. I just see no reasoning for the price at all, but I'd love to hear one.

What does a motherboard sound like?

I'd imagine it's something like the sound of a man crying when he looks at his wallet after getting it?
