    I envisage you sitting back in your chair, chuckling and stroking a white cat after saying that Rich

    I do, don't get me wrong but it just doesn't look good on this particular board; the bottom bit reminds me of angel wings (LOL) :worried::worried::worried:

    Like the concept only if the GPU can be upgraded as the CPU i.e. slot in a new one if need be.

    How about a motherboard where you can plug in one or more GPU via an interface slot? Then you'd be able to choose your own GPU. That would be a cool feature. If they added that I might consider buying.

    Isn't that basically a current motherboard with a PCI-E slot?

    OMG, you're right!

    All I suggest is that they produce a range of multi-coloured PCIe slots and ones that glow in the dark.

    Ask DFI to do it. They did it before.

    As was Gigabyte's old boards, Asus, MSI, and ECS.

    We've gotten boring with the color schemes.

    And I still want a white motherboard not made by sapphire. Those were awesome. Or EVGA's old green and black. That was awesome.

    :D fair enough. But all in one board will be good for SFF pcs. It could be water cooled.

    I really think that the DFI LanParty-esque boards were much more beautiful than the homogenous ones of today.

    I always thought the DFI Motherboards were but ugly, but that's just me.

    I get a bit tired of the boring blue heatsink style seen on so many asus (including my current mobo). My previous mobo was the all black EVGA Cheesecake 657... A nice break from blue for 3 years.

    I actually really like the ass rock extreme with the curvy black and gold heatsinks.

    Maybe I just like awesome contrast.

    Black and white would be epic actually. I'd buy it.

    There is a problem with white motherboards - the laser recognition system on the robots that place the small parts on the board cannot recognize the markings on a white background. It recognizes them best on a green board, which is why almost all PCB's are green.

    I was actually thinking white slots and black background. But White PCBs while expensive would be awesome too.

    Anyone ever thought of making a motherboard cover? Just painted bits of plastic that's molded out? So it just fits right over a motherboard but doesn't obscure components?

    Very interesting nugget, thanks for that! I always assumed green was for economic reasons but that's actually pretty cool to know.
