With Gigabyte making their gaming series motherboards all red now, are there any green motherboards left on the market? Asus and gigabyte have gold models, everyone has a red one, asrock with blue, but no green?

EDIT:  I meant for Z97 motherboards

If you are buying a CPU from the Haswell Refresh, wait until the new BIOS comes out for the G1.Sniper Z87 and it will work. But it won't work with Broadwell.

Green seems to be gone, closest you can get is a sabertooth and repaint the thermal armor or what ^^ said

You can PlastiDip a motherboard and have it work perfectly fine if you do it properly.

I like the color scheme of Noctua fans. Deal with it. Forget about the bad memories of the past.

Forget about the bad memories of the past, take the good ones along with you through the present, and look forwards to the good things that will come in the future.

Please don't tell me you're talking about green PCB. They are horrendously ugly.

gigabyte has green motherboards, their matx one is particularly nice. I don't know if I'd jump on z87 though, maybe wait for z97 versions.
 

Edit: Yeah I guess you're out of luck

No worries man i thought the same thing at first to until i did some reading. They kept every series the same added the black series and changed got rid of the g1 killer series in favor of the g1 gaming series.It really is a shame because im sick of seeing black and red builds (no offence to those that have them they do look nice just soooooo over done) i personally favored black and gold myself, did a little blue accenting since the lightning cards have blue led's
