Anything wrong with this motherboard?

I've been looking at the MSI Z87 G55, but the only reviews i can find on it are on Newegg.  I can't even find a single unboxing on youtube!! If there is a problem with it, I want to find a board that is black and blue, contains a Z87 chipset with a LGA1150 socket, is under $150, can have 2 way SLI, and can do a little overclocking.  Thanks in advance!!

the only thing is that i think it has a brown pcb trying to pass as a black pcb, but everything else is fine about the board

mobo's are in general all fine and boring so no reviews unless they do something special such as the Asus ROG series

It's fine, if you don't mind the brown-ish PCB. If you don't have any bright lights on it, it's not as noticeable.

I would say that the board doesn't have a post LED which may seem silly but I require for myself now. I don't want to sit and listen for post beeps anymore no thank you when it comes to diagnosing a post issue. But if aesthetics and something like a post led or stronger audio onboard isn't something that perks your interest your board is fine.
