Looks better for sleek builds :-)

 

but secretly black PCBs have a different aura in terms of electrical molecul-transistion and that makes it perform way better.

Oh. I thought there was some kind of power efficiency thing. Haaha

Asthetics. That's it. Green PCBs are ugly (IMO) and I'm glad black PCBs are a thing.

In terms of performance no, but I think we could all agree that...
