MSI Readies 770T-C45 Motherboard
MSI is working on yet another addition to its AM2+ socket motherboard lineup, this time the 770T-C45. This mainstream ATX motherboards draws more than just its layout from the recently announced 770-C35, and the AM3-based 770-C45, in fact an identical board layout with the addition of a few features. This board is uses an AM2+ socket with support for DDR2 memory, with the AMD 770 + SB710 chipset, which provides support for AMD OverDrive Advanced Clock Calibration feature. The CPU is powered by the same 4+2 phase design featured on the older model. An important difference is that this model features Active Phase Switching, which turns off redundant power phases when the load is low. Another change is the colour scheme for the expansion slots connectors, and heatsinks. It will be priced in the sub-$100 range.

CPU 4 pin connector is in as annoying place as possible it seems, typical these days.
1x slot above the video card is always nice, means large VGA coolers cant block it.
I take it you've never used a case with the PSU at the bottom either :(

Currently i only use it for a souncard, but i could imagine a TV tuner good there too - most other devices are held back by the PCI bus and should be on PCI-E anyway (RAID cards, networking, etc)
