The ASUS P8H77-I has six SATA ports as well; that's my motivation for getting it.

I guess similarly, I don't think any of their Sandy Bridge mini-ITX boards had that many ports. Still, it's worth waiting just to see, given the probable ease of Hackintoshing the Gigabyte boards. I'm waiting on the arrival of our mountain cat anyway.

The build looks great, but the board is two SATA ports short for the media server thing I'm trying to build. I am separately building a new workstation, and haven't ruled out ASRock motherboards yet. I love to see people getting working machines from these ambitious builds.
