My wife has me on this quest to make her a green themed water cooled computer (she wants it to look like ooze) so I am thinking of a solid black or green and black board. anyone have any ideas where I should start? 

 

The computer will be:

water cooled

dual/tripple GPU (AMD maybe, never done AMD)

intel i7 or AMD equivalent 

(hopefully) USB 3.0

 

 

It can be at any form factor. I am picking out mobo before case for her build

I have done a few google searches and thus far haven't found anything (modern at least.) To be honest though I havent been looking at Mobos for a while

Gigabyte G1 Sniper fits the bill: http://www.gigabyte.us/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4169#ov
Lots of really high end features, but it is kind of expensive. $270 on newegg

 

Cheaper microATX version: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128551

CPU: AMD 3950x Mobo: MSI B550 RAM: 32GB DDR4 GPU: Asus 3080 Strix PSU: Superflower Leadex 3 720w Case: BeQuiet 500DX

Storage: 2TB SSD + 4TB HDD Audio: SMSL 793ii -> HiFiman HE-400 + Mission MS-50 Speakers

The VGA port? Doesn't look like it :( 
Kind of stupid for them to put a bright blue port on there, not to mention why someone would be using VGA on a $270 mobo.

Yep, the G1 sniper is pretty much the only green themed motherboard on the market. There is even a new one for Haswell. Check it out here:

The haswell board looks awesome, but that tiny fan ruins it. They are VERY loud.
​ Especially for a watercooled build where most people want everything to be quiet.
