If your current motherboard has more Mountain Dew than CPU, you might be interested in ASRock (http://www.engadget.com/tag/asrock/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Engadget)'s forthcoming Haswell (http://www.engadget.com/tag/haswell/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Engadget) offerings. Among the usual features like dual-band 802.11ac-flavored WiFi, HDMI input and a Home Cloud service, Tom's Hardware spotted a mention of "Waterproof by Conformal Coating." The company's sub-site doesn't give too much else away, like how extensive the protection will be, instead simply telling us to "A-Style our lifestyle." The only feature with any amount of detail is a Pure Sound audio system (7.1 channel audio, Realtek ALC1150 audio codec and a TI 5532 pre-amp if you're interested) that we've already seen (http://www.engadget.com/2013/05/03/asrock-purity-sound-motherboards/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Engadget). Still, if fluid has been getting between you and your high scores, keep an eye on the source for more info.

Update: And just like that, ASRock has added more info about the HDMI input, including a demo video which you can find after the break.
