ASRock has teamed up with the world class gamer Fatal1ty to put out an enthusiast level Intel P67 Motherboard. The ASRock Fatal1ty Professional P67 Motherboard retails for only $219.99 with free shipping.

ASRock and ABIT Fatal1ty Motherboards

The ASRock Fatal1ty Professional isn't the first Fatal1y motherboard out there. The first Fatal1ty motherboard was the ABIT Fatal1ty AA8Xe motherboard pictured on the left with the new ASRock Fatal1ty Professional P67 motherboard on the right. From looks alone I like the appearance of the New ASRock motherboard.

If you watched the video above you know that the ASRock Fatal1ty Professional P67 motherboard has a ton of great features.
