It should be waterproof. I just don't get the name at all.

HAHAHA I bet you havent played starcraft recently there isnt anything better than 3 dozens of marines killing everything they see (preferably you can get them high with drugs but use more that 3 dozens because they die fast)

looks of that board=FAIL (IMHO) :wtf:

Haytch · Feb 27, 2009

That looks classy. I would really like to see this board thrashed via benchmarks.

MB looks awesome! But why SO-DIMMs??? How should we cool it??? They are so small, so little surface, and so close to each other to mount heatsinks on it!

ASUS, Make new boards with this tech already!!

How much power could that battery possibly provide in an outage!?!?!?! :confused:

I still don't understand the SO-DIMMs, even after reading that little sticker.

Mike0409 · Mar 3, 2009

I don't understand the SO-DIMM's either. It doesn't make sense even with that sticker.

How much power that battery holds, I've no idea...But I doubt they could throw even 10minutes of juice on a high end system.

And what the hell is the cost of this board going to be? I dont need a battery I have a UPS, I don't need 2 and I prefer standard DIMM's to SO. I don't see this concept going very far.

So this board could have potential. The apparent choice to use different memory is surprising, but not so much if it's DDR3. Do we have any other specs on this board? Chipset? Mem support? Not much to go off of now.

My question is why is Asus using a crazy "technology inspired" backplate to help dissipate the heat when the real engineering breakthrough would be to include passive heat distribution within the PCB. Thats one to think about!

DrPepper · Mar 3, 2009

I think the whole backplate IS the battery and heatsink.

Mike0409 · Mar 3, 2009

Yeah that Backplate is the battery/heatsink but if you look at the plate it also has Sata connectors on it as well..at least it looks like SATA connectors..

DrPepper · Mar 3, 2009

I think there is a motherboard on that backplate. I don't think it comes off.

MopeyMartian · Mar 3, 2009

Is this going to be strictly for military applications??? Like, a full sized ATX board that has to fit in a Humvee or UAV trailer? Then it would make more sense. Easy to replace, low wattage parts for a 24/7 client.

Its for us consumers. It just has pictures of humvee's and dog tags because its a marine board :laugh:

SO-DIMMs....that's all can think when I read this thread..that and STFU to sir Spam-a-lot....

There has got to be a good reason for that. Maybe some SO-DIMMs are coming out that will be uber.
