Yikes what justifies that price $ tag. Other MBs with similar features from MSI and Asus have a way more reasonable price tag$
 
Can someone point out what makes this one so expensive?

Looks like it's priced to compete with the now $629 Asus Hero, $699 MEG Ace, and $799 Aorus Extreme.
 
Do any of those boards have 12 layer PCBs or rotated sockets? Classified isn't my bag, but I can see why they've priced it there. Expect the Dark Kingpin to be $829-899 now.

I'm Still not sure a side ways socket and 12-layer PCB Justify that price tag. Remembering when the previous Dark boards with $400...

yeah i mean all the prices are crazy now, no argument there. but based on the market it looks like they're competitive in the class for this hardware.

Yah just like GPU's the inflation in the past couple years has been insane. The last MB's I bought 5yrs ago didn't cost as much as the old MSRP GPU's (1080s, 2080s)

I'm really hoping EVGA has a FTW Z790 in the works?

I doubt that. z790/13th gen is an interim chipset and chip. New socket is coming.
