Hey there LOL
I just meant the 5820K isn't too much more expensive than the 4790K...but it definitely has some real grunt, if you will.  I think the price difference is less than $100.

Yeah, not trying to flame you, I just get tired of hearing people say that 2011 is no real advantage over 1150...it is...or it wouldn't existConfused

But you bring up a good point, the 2011 is definitely designed for a performance priority build...

I don't know of any way to get more processing power into ITX which is why I've been following this board with interest lately...just seems like a cool idea really

I was looking for an ITX motherboard for 1366 last time I built a computer but the closest thing I could find was a proprietary Shuttle setup at a really high price.  I'm really glad ASRock came through this time around with a genuine power motherboard for tiny computers.  I'm not sure 2011 really has a practical advantage for my everyday use but I'd rather be safe than sorry.

I remember the Shuttles!!  

*facepalm*

I think the board you have here looks like a MUCH better option.  The Nehalem processors were freaking spaceheaters...

Hey why did you call this a hexbox. This is a computer right? Can you run xbox stuff with it and can you teach me? I want to use the z97m which is a micro board.

No, sadly no Xbox stuff here.  Maybe when Windows 10 comes out -- I'm looking forward to that, currently on Win7 64-bit.  It's the HexBox because I have/like the Xboxes...and also because it's a HEXacore CPU!  Haha!  My last computer was a dual-core so the jump up to hexacore is a pretty big deal for me.  It's got more threads than simple guy like me knows what to do with.  I don't know much about that motherboard but all of the ASRock mobos I have looked at seem to have good features so you can get Win10 on there and get the upcoming Windows-Xbox integration that Microsoft has been working on.

I loved Halo...Halo 1 and 3, anyway.  I'm sure the computer could do it if they release the game for PC.

Octocore is definitely better but the 5960X costs about three times as much as the 5820K so that was a non-starter for me.
