This looks like an awesome board, but the breakout board is awfully broad in scope. 3x HDMI (2.1 no less!), 2x gigabit ethernet, and a 4x PCIE slot? It seems like it's gonna be really expensive like that.

As the dimensions of the physical size of these boards increases, I wish they would just put things in the standard format of mini ITX or μATX.

Many of those wayward connectors could easily be placed on a riser card that gets mounted to a case slot opening, we see this in rare occasions for sound risers on high end boards. But most if not all of them look like they would fit properly in a standard ATX back panel.
