Odd Asus Motherboard was created by Arxon

Found this motherboard on tigerdirect. Cool but very odd looking.

I actually like this board and I am debating whether to purchase this board or the Asus Maximus IV Gene-Z. My current Phenom X2 and 880g board was just supposed to be a minor fill in for my old and dead Athlon 64 while I saved to get a much better Intel setup. That was over a year ago

Really can't decide which way to go though. I was thinking about just dropping this board and and a 2500K into my current case and call it done but I kinda liked Lan Box V2 Wingless has. Either way I go I expect Asus to not let me down.

The one pictured here and the one on the LanOC FB page seem to be ever so slightly different. Was the one on the FB page a new revision or something?

I have a Gene-Z and love it. Just seen the pics on lanoc FB. Both are odd but a smart design to stop the accidental screwdriver drop damage.

So why is this a big secret? At closer examination it says Z77 right on the board.

I actually own(just put it in ;-)

the 990fx amd version of this board. It is a beast of a motherboard...The board carries a 5 year parts warranty and they are not kidding around with it. The grade of capacitors and resistors is top notch!

Now if they only released that motherboard cover for ALL their sabretooth models!

From what Ive read, the Z77 Sabertooth even has slot covers as well.
