From TechPowerUp's article: MSI Goes Black and Green with its ECO Line of Motherboards

 

It what may look like MSI paying GIGABYTE back in its own coin (of copying color scheme and nomenclature), but is actually a completely different target market the company is going after; the new ECO line of motherboards by MSI offer essential feature-set to mainstream desktop builders, while cutting down greatly on redundant components, costly dyes, and over-the-top packaging materials. The boards also feature energy-efficient VRM designs, to cut power consumption down as much as the platform can allow. MSI unveiled three ECO products, the H81M ECO, the B85M ECO, and the H97M ECO.

I'm gonna be honest, most of them don't look appealing to me, I understand its "eco friendly" construction and I approve that though. However, what I found interesting was the white PCB of the H97M ECO... I really think this should become a trend now.

I gotta be honest, that white motherboard is ugly as all hell

 

I want to see white adopted as a motherboard colour, but I feel that mobo manufacturers are trolling us

Yes, it needs to be done better.

White MOBO with very defined black tracers everywhere might look cool.

I like them. wouldn't be half bad for a budget build depending on how much they end up costing.

Switch the green out for black on the H97 board and I'll assure you lots of people will buy it.
