    Why not?

    Saying that you wouldn't have something is useless without giving some feedback as to why.

    If you just wouldn't have one because it's black and purple, then that's a lame excuse - and being that you didn't say why you wouldn't have one, I have no clue if that's the reason or not.

    They seem to be releasing a new range of decent ones, whether they'll be on the par is questionable.

    My reason for not having isnt becos of the colour, i dont care about that.
    I know someone whos had one, rma'd cos it was faulty and soltek took weeks to reply. once we got it back we tried it with his cpu etc, and it was miles slower, we could notice the difference in games. (compared to NF7-S)

    I find them OK but I would prefer a Asus board.
