Features:
The Sabertooth P67 board is a combination of great visual BIOS and high quality hardware components(military grade). It's fantastic to work with both in the physical installation of the components as well as the BIOS management and overclock settings. The board is well endowed with SATA3 inputs of both the 3GBs variety and the faster 6GBs type. The construction feels sturdy without being so rigid as to cause fear when locking in the CPU cooling systems.
Conclusion:
This is a really great board. Now that the revision three(or B3) implementations have taken effect this board is a great cornerstone for your Sandy Bridge PC system. The "TUF armor" looks nice and gives the board a slightly austere and sleek appearance. If you order this board you may want to look into picking up an optional fan to cool the tough armor. In order to accomplish this you want to search for a 50mm fan- which will attach to the motherboard for additional cooling.
PRO:
-Great looking motherboard (if you are into that)
-B3 revision with fixed Cougar Point chipset
-Fantastic BIOS utility
-Nice feature set for price point
-Included software tools are useful
-Plenty of I/O ports
-Front and Rear USB 3.0 configuration
CON:
-50 mm fan to aid in heat dissipation is not included
-1800 MHz maximum advertised DDR3 speeds (many boards at lower price point offer up to 2133 OC speeds)

Fast and Stable!
The BIOS allows for some extremely detailed tweaking but also has an "idiot proof" mode for the more casual tweaker. The automatic memory clocking fail safe is a nice feature.
At first I thought the "thermal armor" was a gimmick but it has actually helped quite a bit for controlling airflow and keeping the board cool.
Five year warranty is a plus!
For me, it was a tossup between this and the
P8P67 DELUXE but, in the end, the cheaper price point and odd aesthetics won me over. Currently running my 2500K at 4.33Ghz stable and cool on air (Zalman CNPS9900A) with only very minor tweaks.
One thing to note - things are very cramped on the edge of the board farthest from the CPU - a double-wide video card in this slot may brush against the USB cables. With an open fan, this could be an issue, especially if your case is small.
