Thanks ~Yahhms

The AR is a black/grey board unlike the A.

Yes, except it doesn't have a VGA and DVI plug.

The AR is just the A but more business oriented. That was literally the only mainstream board that wasn't featured in the youtube videos with JJ.

Specs: 4790k | Asus Z-97 Pro Wifi | MX100 512GB SSD | NZXT H440 Plastidipped Black | Dark Rock 3 CPU Cooler | MSI 290x Lightning | EVGA 850 G2 | 3x Noctua Industrial NF-F12's

Bought a powermac G5, expect a mod log sometime in 2015

Corsair is overrated, and Anime is ruined by the people who watch it

They need an mATX version, I like that better than the pale gold of the other ones.

JJ talks about it here: http://youtu.be/b-il57xDW98?t=18m23s - 18:23 if the 'Start at:' thing doesn't work.

Nope, the AR just has a differen't colour scheme, it's also missing some of the video output (onboard) and it doesn't have usb bios flashback (not sure if regular "A" model does)

It was marketed towards business applications.
