Unboxing gallery: Take in the awesomeness that is GIGABYTE's latest high-end gaming board, the G1.Assassin. Bring a bib - you'll drool.

It's easy to get jaded in this industry. Hardware release after hardware release rolls by, steadily eroding away one's sense of passion for tech - but every now and then something comes along that recharges and reignites our love for tech.

Right now, that's the G1.Assassin motherboard, which just landed on our test bench today.

Justin covered off on the release last week, and even that tantalising glimpse at the board was enough to get our juices flowing. Now that it's in our hands, were positively damp with excitement. We'll be looking at this board in more detail in issue 124, but for now, check out our unboxing gallery for some juicy shots of the sexy packaging and hot, gaming tech.

codecreeper Mar 4, 2011 3:21 PM	does it come with a complimentary CPU for that price. Is that board larger in size than a normal one or is the photos enlarged a bit. The PCI slots look very spacy.
Hawkeye Mar 4, 2011 3:30 PM	It's HUGE. xl-ATX, 345 x 262mm.
Opy Mar 4, 2011 3:54 PM	I was looking at the pics. My manager saw me and took me to HR, reporting me for veiwing erotic web content from my workstation.
tunksy Mar 5, 2011 5:24 PM	one gigabit port for that price? no thanks.
