Pastymuncher and a positive comment unheard of!!

Look good to me and a genuine way to customise your rig.
 
I don't understand why everything looks like the unwanted offspring of a Transformer these days. I'm getting old I swear.
 
don't mind admitting I'm 43 and think they are damn fine looking mobo's, especially that Maximus. Beauty is in the eye etc...
 
I think they look great - would have liked some of these features on an X99 board - but hey ho, you cant have everything.
 
Don't care so much for the RGB, but that stealthy look, covered PCB and rear IO shield give it a clean look. Why is my finger hovering over the Pre-order button :(
 
I thought the LED lights on my Asus Mobo would look cool

..then I filled the case up and you can't even see the damn things.
