I've heard lots of good reviews about the board.  I bought one and didn't
care for the jumper placement (in between a lot of capacitors!), and 
mine was unfortunately squashed in the mail, resulting in bent capacitors
and kernel "Aiee!" errors...very exciting.  My personal experience
aside, I've heard nothing but good things about this board, especially
in the area of overclocking.  See tomshardware.com and anandtech.com
for reviews.
