I really like the look of the Gene, thinking of getting that for my next build. Pair it with a Red Parvum Systems S2.0, my current 8GB RAM, custom sleeved cables and a H220X. Hmmmmmmm. May be overused but I save money and get to use the Parvum.

The camo on the Sabertooth looks pretty cheesy.

 

It's ridiculously cheesy.  No one is going into battle.  I hate when boards are clearly designed with teenagers in mind.

That is one interesting heatsink on that last board.

Anyway, now that Gigabyte also went over to red/black color-scheme, there should be a change in color. I am so tired of red/black.
