I don't know why they say the DPS module was unusual, that was very common. I have a lot of boards much older that the Gigabyte they show who have such a module (s370, slot 1 era)

I think they can add this one for the next release:

ECS L337 Z87H3-A3X GANK Drone

Has Memory and PCIe shields!

"Exclusive ADS (Anti-Dust Shield) Technology with the L-shape aluminum baffle design provides effective protection against harmful dust for the memory DIMMs and graphics card PCIe slots."
