It says 10GbE for the top board, are you looking for it on a cheaper board?

Ehh, Youd think theyd open up 10 gig slightly more. Maybe another generation or 2.

That board is EATX. That's my beef with it. I have an ATX case that I'd want to reuse.

But, I'm looking towards the next ThreadRipper, anyhow.

BTW, the article doesn't list the socket type. I assume LGA 2066?

It probably isn't really EATX, it's probably only XL-ATX depth (10.6/10.7 inches). Most good ATX cases have an extra inch of space in front of a 9.6" board anyway.
