Green theme MOBO?

[Pnudran]

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

wifes reaction "ooohhh its green" twenty seconds later she whispers "i like green" and then asks me "can you water cool it?"

is that a sticker on the DVI port? cant tell, the blue throws it off a smig

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.
