The ASRock X58 SuperComputer was a fantastic performer, had great overclocking potential, and had a decent bundle.

Any way to make the article images clickable (i.e. they are a larger resolution)? Sorry I know I'm full of article requests.

On the layout of the board:
I am really digging the placement of the USB headers.

No one uses a floppy any more. And no one can with the placement of the connection on this board either. As I recall floppy drive cables were generally shorter cables than regular ATA cables. MC Double Def DP would be proud because I have no intentions of ever running a floppy again. Even if you do need a floppy, on that rare occasion, isn't it easier and cheaper to use a USB Floppy?
