Preparing for IB-E.. I was always sold on a MSI mobo. MSI has my favorite BIOS and TBH, think they make the best Intel boards.
Now EVGA has thrown a monkey wrench into the thing. The new EVGA Dark x79 motherboard that was refreshed just for IB-E. (FYI, the same MOBO K|NGP|N uses)
MSI GD45 X79
EVGA Dark X79
Okay, many would say if you have the extra 150 to spend on a MOBO go ahead with the EVGA Dark. The problem is, scared as shtt about their BIOS and possible bugs with this MOBO.
So what do you guys think?
1. Go for the fences with the EVGA Dark?
2. Protect the plate and just get on base with MSI?

Well I love the analogy. I'm guessing you are getting at launch and don't have time to read reviews?

How is that Dark board compared to the rest of the EVGA x79 boards? I've heard that the other EVGA boards are complete crap (They had sales on them for $79, $99, and $119 in February on newegg)
I loved the bios on my Gigabyte UP4 board, got my 3820 to 4.625. Linus has a video about the G1.assassin2 board and raved about it
