Hi Amigos,
Well, I'm starting think about a new build for our studio. At home I have a great Ivybridge 3770 with 32 gigs of ram, Pro Tools 10 with CPTK, but in the studio we currently have NO machine. I might be receiving some HD PCI-X cards for a very good price and have teamed up with my studio partner to get a Pro Tools HD 10 rig running with either HD 3 Accel or HD 4 Accel depending no how things work out.
So far I have found this motherboard.... The GA-P75-D3P (I'm not in Estonia, but Gigabyte's website is acting up).

First thing is what do you guys think of this board?
Do you think there are better options out there and if so what are they?
I'd like to Gigabyte because I don't DSDT's which I hate doing since I never get them to work properly and this board looks like it will fit the PCI-X cards with out the heatsink getting in the way (something that happens with the GA-P75-D3).
And lastly, where can I buy this board?! I've looked for it everywhere and can't find it for sale!!!!
Like I said, we'd like to have atleast 4 PCI slots, but 3 would also work OK. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME!!!!!!!!
Appreciate it!
