Hmm. On the look out for Z87 Stinger reviews.  I'd really like to know how its audio stacks up to the Impact's solution. 
 
None posted thus far though.

I'd like to buy something like that, but ASUS - I hate this.
I have had two ASUS motherboards and both had some problems with overclocking, some hint's I'd like to say, which unnecessary for overclocking, but add some hurt in the butt.
 
ASUS drops off, and I don't want to buy MSI.
I see the only choice in Russia to buy Gigabyte, but G1.Sniper 5 or GA-Z87X-OC Force haven't got a mSATA slot and I have got Intel 525 mSATA SSD :(

Well I'm thinking ASRock. Heard good things about them and they have a resectable memory compatibility list

Sleep is wonky with my board. Leaves my Fans and Pumps on. Otherwise, works great, zero issues.

Dear xfinrodx,
 
I am very sorry for any inconvenience or confusion due to your order not processing as planned yesterday. I am showing that your order was discussed with you by one of our customer support agents to try and assist further due to this error. If you should need further support I can confirm that we are here to assist you. chrisb@evga.com

Just a quick PSA guys - be careful ordering the Stinger from EVGA's web store if you (A) need it promptly or (B) need any form of phone-based and courteous customer service.  I was on the phone with them 3 times yesterday and each person promised my Stinger would ship yesterday, the 29th.  (I placed the order on the 28th.)  It didn't ship.  So I called 15 minutes ago to ask them to add the Saturday delivery feature to my UPS Next Day Air Saver shipping.  When I explained to him that there is no option on the website to add Saturday delivery, he said I could cancel my order and try again.  I told him ok fine, cancel my order since you guys can't make good on your promise to ship same day if the order is placed before 2pm.  His response, a cold "OK" *click*.  In case anyone is keeping score, it was order ID 100382.

TooLong;Didn'tRead: Order the Stinger if you don't care whether it gets to you in 3 days or 2 weeks.  Usually I'd be in that camp, but I actually needed to build a server with it this weekend for a customer and I'm in a rough spot now.  Amazing how poor the sales support is when I've had such amazing warranty service!

I have everything ready for my new build (its been 6 years since my last), I am waiting on the Z87 FTW.
will it be up for purchase by the end of Sept?
 
EVGA has amazing quality which is why I have been waiting instead of going with the Gigabyte or ASUS, but please let us know how long...

Yes Jacob said he thinks the FTW board will come in october. They are missing some parts.

Wow... that late for a mid range board?  Eesh.

I would sleep with that board, its all I need/ want. The EVGA name means it wont crap out after the first 2 years(to me anyway) EVGA and Cosair are the only 2  companies that haven't given me a **** product, which is nice because other than the Intel processor the 2 companies make everything else.

If you say so.  For something that's releasing so late though I'd expect a lot more.  I mean it has 4 PCIE x16 lanes but no PLX chip, so at best it can run 8x, 4x, 4x, 1x.   It only has 6 power phases and last gen Realtek ALC889 audio.  And it's going to be a $220 board?
 
There are several boards available right now with better features for less $...
 
The Classified on the other hand looks to actually be worth the wait.

thx cap.

He simply troll us here.

Nah, that's not him. This is Kingpin: http://forums.evga.com/showprofile.aspx?memid=278092   The mighty one.       =)

I spoke with someone at EVGA recently who told me the Z87 FTW mobo's were due in "any day now" but from what I'm seeing in these forums, they won't be available until some time in October.  Which piece of information am I supposed to believe?  I've already gotten rid of my old computer to make room for the new one I'm getting through Origin but can't be built until Origin receives the Z87 FTW motherboard.  I only got rid of my old computer because I was told I should be getting the new computer within 2-3 weeks.  I know that I should be patient considering I won the computer I'm talking about but I've been given different information at every turn by various people at EVGA.  What is the real story, please?  Is the Z87 FTW going to be available before October?  If not, why can't a substitute be made of an equally capable motherboard?  I realize that a different mobo might mean other parts would no longer be compatible but I also feel like I shouldn't have to wait until the end of 2013 or beyond to get this machine when EVGA's policy is to ship prizes within 15 days.  Had I not been in touch with someone at EVGA, I wouldn't even know that there was a delay.  EVGA didn't volunteer information on their own.  I had to contact them to find out that there was a hold up with my prize.  I'm sorry if I'm coming across as annoyed but I am annoyed.  I received a seemingly random (unsolicited) email from Origin that said the delay for my build is due to the EVGA Z87 FTW mobo being unavailable and that once they receive that, there will be another 2-3 weeks of testing and tuning before they ship it back to EVGA just for them to ship it back across the country to me.  The point of this whole rant is:  I would like some honest, real information on when I can expect to see the computer I won from EVGA.  I'm sure I sound like a ungrateful dick right now but that's not it at all.  Once I've been given misinformation enough times, I get sick of it.  Just like any other human being out there.

you could contact them and ask for the value payout due to the issue of the waiting period on a product that is delayed and they may give you the value of that prize so you could buy the parts
