I'm getting ready to begin a new project and I cannot decide which of these two boards to use. The MSI board has room for 4 PCIe cards which could equate to one heck of a Crossfire setup later but may turn out to be completely useless.
The ASUS board has the ASUS name and quality reputation in addition to the better sound card of the two machines.
Which of the two boards do you guys like and why?

So what board did you finally go with?
I am considering the Crosshair III Formula with an AMD 965BE
Not sure is there anything out there better?
