I think these ones would look better if the PCI-E slots were black instead of white.

Someone ate something Blueish and puKed on an Asus Board. New color scheme... BRILLIANT

"It works Because I threatened it. :lol:" - " did you show it the sledgehammer" - "No, A flight of stairs"
"I don't want to be much of a forum Nazi but this situation calls for a hail Bosco and blitzkrieg someone".

If that does not work I hop in a Madcat and Blast it to microscopic Particles.

The color scheme has been in use for a while an is better than many of the boards out there. The P67, Z68 boards use this theme as well. Even if the blue is not for everyone its still a rocking board. In a case without a window does it really matter that it is blue?

If you are paying ~$350 for a motherboard I would think you wouldn't buy a $50 case without a window.

Also, what is it with Asus and having the most disgusting looking Sli connectors? They honestly must have looked at that color and said: "This fits with absolutely nothing, make sure to make it that color!" :lol:

Just because it doesn't have a window, doesn't mean that the case is cheap. Some people just don't want a window on their case.

Ayn Rand is the author for people who want to act like complete douche-bags, but don't have the balls to just admit that they are douche-bags.
"There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs."

You would be surprised at the amount of $150 cases that come without a window! :cheers:
