yeah I'm not a big fan of those rainbow boards. I liked my old lanparty board with the black PCB and orange and yellow UV reactive mem and pci slots. My new board (abit IP35-PRO) is a blue PCB with blue and black mem and pci slots which is fine too, doesn't make my eyes bleed like some new boards.
It's a fucking PC component, it's colour coded to make things easier. It's not like anyone besides yourself will ever see it. It doesn't even matter if they do.
Probably one of the things that grinds my gears abit, when people start talking about how good a PC component looks. Same shit goes for people who buy multicoloured flashy intakes and filters and shit for their car.

If you need your components color coded to make it easier to set up you shouldn't be messing with it in the first place. And the fact that no one else will see doesn't matter to me, I am the one who has to look at it and that's all that matters. Same goes with cars for me, (not that mine is all flashy not my style) anyting I do to them is not sor other people but for what I personally like.Mek-Izzle wrote:

Are you on crack? The Gigabyte boards of recent years have been the best overclockers there are. Their 650i chipset was outstanding as is their P35 chipset. Gigabyte currently have the best value boards available on the market (they are also exceptionally reliable, due to the use of high grade components in their manufacturing process).TheEternalPessimist wrote:
lol, I have to agree they are disgusting to look at, quite poor overclockers too compared to comparably priced Asus boards.
Who cares what colour the board is? Colour coding to make things easier is a great idea and using bright colours is ideal for motherboards.

I like all Gigabyte boards and the highend Asus boards. Both companies definately stand out from the competition. Gigabyte with very good value boards and good highend boards and Asus with its highend boards. I personally love Asus BIOS settings. They are justBertster7 wrote:

I just went Gigabyte Piece of Shit (GPOS) to an Asus crosshair
its like going from a Tostito that you found when moving the fridge to a ham and cheese hot pocket, not too cold, not too hot...

As long as the board isn't horribly standing out (aka pink and purple or some other shit like that), I could give two shits what it looks like as long as it WORKS and it's GOOD.
