All of these "critique my build" threads, why all ATX?
Why are there so many people still looking at ATX and extended ATX mobo's? Why would a typical desktop user or gamer need so many PCI(e) slots? For most, one graphics card is enough and 2 is sometimes overkill. Why are people still so interested in ATX/eATX when there are so many high-end high-quality mATX and mini ITX boards available?
I mean, more power in a smaller footprint is the way to go these days especially when there are so many good looking mATX cases (and mini ITX cases if you look around for them)
The Asus Maximus VI Gene, for example, is one of the best mobo's currently available of any size and it offers everything a full ATX board offers minus a few PCI slots that would probably just collect dust anyway.
