If Wonderlust gets commission from MSI he must be rich from now. That being said, not terribly rich seeing that he ignores all their higher end boards :P

But on a serious note, the P35 Neo2 Fr is a very good board for the money

I wish I got paid to reccomend something, the nearest i got to that was the Aria review comp, and even that seems to have come to an end! :cry:
