X38 is exceptionally nice. The Asus p5e3 wifi is easily one of the best boards I've ever used.
We got in the first round of 780is on Friday, 5 EVGA boards and 2 Asus Striker 2s. The striker 2s are pure garbage, using a qx9650 they still freak out, are unstable and frequently bluescreen. The eVGAs are nothing special, but they seem solid: the new layouts resemble the 790fx boards. I do like the pure coal look to the evga though.

In favor of an Intel X38 then or something else down the road at top dollar again? It's my impression 680i is OK as long as you don't want to do Quad core? Not that I plan on buying quad and the recommended rev 2.0 Gigabyte 680i board is off the market as of November anyway. Meanwhile here sits my empty TT Armor case waiting for a mobo to get cheap enough!
