Why only put in an itx MB if it fits a matx? Asus makes great matx boards just like the impact viii that will give you room to do sli and not look so small in a case that size.

But other then that i like the look, not a fan of red as everything is red and black when it comes to pc colors these days but thats just personal crap lol

Impact is actually the Mini-ITX board the Gene is the Micro-ATX.

 

And same here with the colours, i'd love to see a wider variety of green, yellow, and orange (heck, even white) motherboards, especially in the smaller form factors

Aftermarket 980Ti >= Fury X >= Reference 980Ti > Fury > 980 > 390X > 390 >= 970 > 380X > 380 >= 960 > 950 >= 370 > 750Ti = 360

"The Orange Box" || CPU: i5 4690k || RAM: Kingston Hyper X Fury 16GB || Case: Aerocool DS200 (Orange) || Cooler: Cryorig R1 Ultimate || Storage: Kingston SSDNow V300 240GB + WD Black 1TB || PSU: Corsair RM750 || Mobo: ASUS Z97-A || GPU: EVGA GTX 970 FTW+

"Unnamed Form Factor Switch" || CPU: i7 6700K || RAM: Kingston HyperX Fury 16GB || Case: Phanteks Enthoo Evolv Mini ITX (White) || Cooler: Cryorig R1 Ultimate (Green Cover) || Storage: Samsung 850 Evo 1TB || PSU: XFX XTR 550W || Mobo: ASUS Z170I Pro Gaming || GPU: EVGA GTX 970 FTW+

Mini ATX I chose because I like the new Impact, nevertheless leaves me plenty of room for hard tubing that want to make uniqe in some way.
The problem is to whole ROG series has identical color (black and red), which unfortunately leaves no room for color selection .

Rog will always be red and black until solid rgb lighting goes mainstream. Hoping asus take off all the color from the heatsinks unlike the msi x99 godlike

Looks great. I wish I could get a sponsorship and I have already taken the first step (messaging them on facebook, ASUS)

 

Hopefully they get back to me.
