The Abit KN9-SLI is one of the cheapest NForce 570 SLI mainboards available in the market. Priced at about USD $133 (SGD $220), it's a good USD $20 cheaper than the similiar offerings from Epox and Gigabyte etc, definitely worth a good consideration if you are intending to build a mainstream SLI based rig.

The one point I would like you to note about the KN9-SLI, it has one annoying problem that has been predominantly associated with Abit Nforce based mainboards when there are USB devices attached to them. It will stop at the boot-up screen most of the time when I have my USB mouse plugged in. Same goes for a USB thumb drive. Removing it will make the board boot pass the Abit Logo screen smoothly. This is quite a turn-off as you can imagine the hassle of unplugging and plugging back your USB devices every time you reboot. This should be easily fixed with a BIOS update however.
