Apart from the fugly color scheme (old-school white Molex connector on a high-end board in 2011, really?) it looks like every other Biostar board I've ever used: proper slot positioning/spacing for dual video cards with no extra cruft. The extra SATA port for optical drives is a welcome touch, allowing you to use all six 6Gb/s ports for RAID arrays. Unfortunately it looks like Biostar are still skimping on fan headers, because I only see 3 in total; should be at least 2 more IMO.
