Nobody?
There isn't really much to improve, the only thing I'm uncertain on is the PSU. That isn't to say its bad, I just haven't seen or heard of it before.

What will you be using this for and what is your video card? [editline]6th May 2011[/editline] And how much hard drive space do you actually need?

I have filled up at least 2 1TB externals already with photos and movies.
I'm not sure whether I should get the P8P67 Pro since people are having problems with the board.. Or is that an older revision of the board? Does anyone know if rev 3 has problems?
Rev 3 is the B3 stepping, which fixes the SATA port problems. Unless there is something else wrong with the boards? As far as I can tell there hasn't been any other problems.
