EVGA set out to prove it's not the size of the motherboard that matters, but how you use it. And with the release of the X58 SLI Micro, you can use any speed grade Core i7 processor you want along with a pair of Nvidia graphics cards all in a micro-ATX package.
In addition to 2-way SLI support, the new mobo also crams 6 DDR3 memory slots (supporting up to 12GB of triple channel DDR3-1600MHz+) and 6 SATA II 3GB/s ports onto the mATX board. Other features include 100-percent solid state capacitors, VDroop control, an onboard temperature monitor, support for up 12 USB ports, a single LAN port, a passive heatsink for cooling the chipset, RAID 0/1/0+1/5 and JBOD support, and 8-channel onboard audio, all decked out in a red and black color theme.
The board is available now for $200.

You know, for a gaming rig that's about all you need. Onboard audio is fine, you've got SLI, and enough SATA and USB ports to satisfy the majority of people.
Now all we need is an AM2=/AM3 platform with Crossfire and those of us in camp AMD will be happy

always been a fan of the mATX boards. if i could afford an upgrade, i'd get one of those, so that my HAF can match inside and out. i wonder if this will become a niche trend in the future??
