After the close look of what manufacturers have to offer with H57 based motherboards, Gigabyte's H55 lineup has showed up online as well. The lineup includes three motherboards, two micro ATX and single ATX motherboard that will support LGA 1156 45nm as well as the upcoming 32nm CPUs.

All three motherboards have dual channel DDR3 memory support, dual PCI-Express x16 slots, six SATA 3.0Gbps ports, and DVI, D-Sub and HDMI outputs. All three will also feature Gigabyte's DES 2 feature. As you can see from the pictures below, all three feature a rather minimalistic cooling solutions and the same blue/white colour scheme.

If these look too cheap for your taste, you can always go for the H57 based ones, but considering the fact that H55 based ones should retail at below €100, they certainly sound appealing.
