I guess it appeals to some people, they only made it because it was a smash hit at the expos. Personally, I like my tasteful black and silver.

It looks like it is completely stained....... Not a big fan of the camo-ish paintjob on the thermal armor

We need more all black motherboards like the MSI SLI Plus. Great mobo by the way if anyone is looking for an ultra cheap 2011v3 build.

whats with asus and picking up a single color pallet. it was blue, then gold, then kinda gold and black, and now white. cant they have boards with all those colors in one generation. something that gigabyte does kinda well. 

Space Journal #1: So Apparently i  was dropped on the moon like i'm a mars rover, in a matter of hours i have found the transformers on the dark side of the moon. Turns out its not that dark since dem robots are filled with lights, i waved hi to the Russians on the space station, turns out all those stories about space finding humans instead of the other way around is true(soviet Russia joke). They threw me some Heineken beer and I've been sitting staring at the people of this forum and earth since.

It's limited edition, not sure if the 4 digits represent the number of board it will have, so if the max is 1,000 boards. I don't see that as being limited edition.

I would just take the white camo armor off and it would be good. Now it just need some Galax gpu's to complete the build  :wub:

With the thermal armor, it's to cool down the board. Another one can be installed where the I/O ports to cool the heatsinks that sits on top of the VRMs.

 

@KakaoDj

Only if you have the Gryphon

The other way is to contact Asus and see if they can buy one directly from them.

What makes it ugly for me is the fact that there are green and brown bits on it that just fuck up the whole color scheme.
