Well by reading some of the reviews it seems the layout it bad and spacing between RAM and other things are very very limited, BIOS seem limited in overclocking abilities, some are saying the Gigabit is not working on arrival until updating but if you don't care about any of that I'd say go for it

Besides the lay out of the thing it seems like that is a pretty good board.

Yeah when you pay for a premium board, it's for overclocking, or for luxuries like SLI. Other than that, almost all other boards will share the same features.

Well if you want somthing under $100 you can still get a good chipset. Gigabyte 690G is great board for under $100 and it retains alot of features. If you prepared to spend more money then get a NForce 590 board. The DFI LanParty boards are rock solid at high FSB. You just have to be patient enough to setup a DFI board.
