Way to go asrock again

Asrock is killin it lately. You can't find a better overclocking board than the z77 extreme3 or extreme4 for as cheap as they are.

Nice, but honestly... Meh, it's thunderbolt. IF devices/cables/everything were cheaper, it would be nice. As of now, with a cable costing on average around $50 USD, a 500GB Thunderbolt portable hard drive at $158.99 USD, A Monitor (Apple controls monitors)  at $949.99 USD ... yeah, not huge of an issue for MOST people. And not something to jump up and down on, imho.

I'm gonna get either the extreme6 or the extreme9 for my Haswell upgrade. The only differences between them is thunderbolt and one of the PCIe ports being a PCI instead, but the extreme 9 is probably going to cost like £100 more. I'd probably pay that if someone would make a mini-ITX board with thunderbolt though, cos that would mean I could get 10Gb/s transfer between my main desktop and my server for way less than 10Gb/s ethernet would cost. Gigabit is more than enough for streaming stuff around the house, but I send a lot of big files from my desktop to the server and vice versa.

Anyone heard anything on Mini-ITX with thunderbolt?
