Octomom meets Motherboard - Kinda

It would seem the big news of the day is a crazy "me too" motherboard from MSI called the Marshal.  The board comes with eight full length PCI Express slots, four of them are designed to run at full bandwidth while the remaining run at half bandwidth.

We have seen several motherboards using a similar configuration, Gigabyte, and EVGA seem to be the popular choice and since their release other companies have been doing their best to play "catch-up".

In other news we have a couple twin fan extra tall MSI video cards being shown by MSI.

Lastly, we have a fancy device from EVGA that reminds me of some stuff DFI used to do back in the day on their LAN Party motherboards, yep molex power piped directly into the PCI Express slot for greater video card stability.  EVGA calls this device "Power Boost".
