VGA out and 10Gbit NICs were worth the upgrade to the NT edition.

The product basically makes sense. No bloat features or anything. Definitely recommend. I don't think I found any other product that had all the features within this price point. These are the things that I like about it. - It has PCIe Gen5 for both GPU and NVMe; you are all set for future proofing. - It has USB ports for days. It has USB C (10Gbps) in the back, 3 USB3.2 x2 Gen2, 4 USB3.2 x2 Gen1. - It has WiFi 7 and the antenna connector is so easy to use. Plug in and out. - It has a 2.5Gbps ethernet port. Lots of interesting file serving things to do with this. - It has an HDMI port next to where the front panel USB C connector is. I think it is for connecting a sensor panel if you want to put one in your case. - It has one of those convenient systems for unlatching your GPU and no-tool install for your M.2 drive. - It has good power delivery for your CPU so you can extract all your CPU has to offer. - It supports Q-Flash Plus; you just plug-in your thumb drive and hold the button and the board will automatically upgrade your firmware. - Good layout of pins on the board. They are all on the sides which makes cable management so easy. - It has an I/O shield which makes the build process tidy. - Aesthetically, the design just makes sense. It's just tasteful.

- Unique PCIe switching topology for NVMe that trades half the GPU bandwidth for two additional nvme gen 5 slots. (this could be a con in some situations) - Competitively priced.
