What happened to the U.2 ports? A couple mfg seem to still have them, others do not. At least not on every board. Is it going the same way as that ugly host plug style SATA Express? I actually liked U.2 and have an Intel 750 that is plenty fast. It isn't as fast as my 960 Pro but is a lot less cumbersome.

I normally grumble a little bit at launches due to lack of mATX or mITX options. However, this time the full 200-series lineup is fairly diverse: www.asrock.com/mb/index.us.asp

Kudos to you ASRock. Maybe I'll upgrade from my H170M-ITX to an H270M-ITX. I know, I'm so wild.
