Name of motherboard is called Marine Cool hence the military/space style of those heatsinks.
Notice the SO-Dimm slots.

The Asus Marine Cool is a concept board like their Pluto and Pinot Noir, who knows if it will ever be released to the market.
Here is some interesting info on the board though
| site wrote: | The Asus Marine Cool is a concept motherboard - so it won't hit the markets in this form. But as it had been the case with the last Asus concept board, the Asus Pinotnoir, some ideas could make it to the mass production. In our picture gallery you can find detailed information about the Asus Marine Cool.
The most obvious feature of the Marine Cool is the huge cooling solution with metal heatpipes and ceramic plates. Thus the heat is said to be transferred at twice the speed. Furthermore the Asus Marine Cool has a Lithium Polymer battery that is supposed to power the system during blackout. The third feature is the "Failover Memory” feature. This actually is a set of onboard DRAM chips that can bypass compatibility problems of the discrete memory. |

Looks like it'd be a pain in the ass to install some HSFs on.

Meh, sick of boards that have cooling setups that look like a UFO stuck to a fucking rollercoaster. Just give me a simple metal heatsink.
Also the SO-DIMMs are likely to jack up the overall price of the system.
