At first glance, I thought it was a motherboard with a built-in cassette drive.
£619 …. gonna need a £900 powersupply to go with it I guess.

We can still dream…!!
Beat me to it. I was off to grab a pencil. *hint hint*
I couldn't wait for this to be announnced, but the price is overkill. I'll be sticking with my plan to get the Maximus IX Formula.
For half the price it comes with a factory fitted EK waterblock, add a, £60 EK for the CPU and you still saved a pile of cash. Plus Formula looks sexier in my opinion, with all the shielding aroud PCI slots.
Someone at Asus saw that someone at Cooler Master is going for early retirement as jumped on the bandwagon! lol =)

That was MiniDisc!
my life. well, at least i'll have a premium board to match the spare celeron cpu i have lying around.
Perhaps it is intended to remind older gamers of loading Spectrum games?

No, that was the alternate (and later) future that IBM stomped on when they signed a CD-Rom deal with Sony.
and people complain about nVidia and Intel price gouging!

Asus ROG has just published a video of the ROG Maximus IX Extreme - ‘Cool to the Extreme’
Sounds more like a new album from Vanilla Ice….
