what do you mean by half a board because i don't think that will work too well lol
ok well i forgot to mention that those prices were in australian so if you can find that board on an american website then it might only be $250-300
Right now it is going for $360 US (link) which is better than the 430 in the Australian link but still one of the most expensive LGA 1155 boards you can buy. It is a great board but you can find boards at half the price with similar (though slightly less) performance. Of course if you have a windowed case and like to show off your motherboard it is hard to beat the cool factor of the G1.SNIPER2.
