Which Z87 - board do you think is the prettiest?

 

After the release of the new ASUS Z87 motherboard line, with the new color scheme, a lot of people enjoying good style and looks has to change to a different motherboard manufacturer. Which Haswell-compatible motherboard do you think look the best?

See you around

Early on the Asus gold boards were looking really boss.

 

But I have to go with the MSi Mpower. Black with yellow accents so freaking lovely! I want an x79 variant NOW!

In case the moderators do not ban me as requested, this is a notice that I have left and am not coming back.

Probably between the ROG boards and the MSI Ones. MSI have been designing some nice looking boards recently, that are pretty cheap as well :D

Is this the real life? Or is this just fantasy?

I have to agree with that norwegian guy, I am planning on getting an Mpower board and painting the yellow a matte (maybe pearl) white to match my theme.

Gigabyte Z68X-UD4H.  So nice.

 

And I like the new ASUS boards.  Plenty of products are getting Gold accents (EVGA ACX 770, Corsair AX Gold PSUs, Corsair Vengeance Pro RAM), or you could just go all black on the components to make it easier.

I'm really liking the Mpower Max, that thing looks a lot better than the Z77 version.

msi boards are just chocked full of sexy-time.

The last gen models looks pretty good as well:

I would have to say either the ROG boards or Gigabyte boards. Probably Gigabyte as the black and grey look is amazing. Also what was Asus thinking with the black and gold theme?

Gigabyte wins between all those Z87 boards. MSI started to make weird colour schemes and ASUS just totaly failed with their stupid gold colour scheme for me. Gigabyte wins, especially with all of their D3 motherboards.

MSI Z77MA-G45; Intel Core i5-3570K @ 4.0GHz with stock cooler (75°C max. in Prime95); Corsiar Vengeance 2x4GB @ 1600MHz CL9; EVGA GTX 650Ti SSC 2GB GDDR5 @ stock; Samsung 840 120GB (15s boot time); WD Green 500GB; Corsair CX430; Corsair 350D; BenQ RL2455HM (best gaming 60Hz monitor); Logitech G400 mouse; Logitech K120 keyboard; Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
