Spend £1850, go GODLIKE with MSI's Z690

Today Leo takes a £1850 Z690 board package on a test run and comes away with some very strong feelings. It's Leo, would you expect anything else?

The MSRP for the Z690 Godlike is £1849.99. There will be a total of 40 in the UK and an email will be sent to all previous purchasers of any 30 series graphics cards and any Godlike series motherboards (that have registered their products with MSI).
The remaining samples that are not purchased through the above means will then go to etailers to sell.
