These boards that use white +
These boards that use white + a color are really starting to grow on me, They remind me of all the various Gundamn anime I watched long ago.
I can see that. No mind
I can see that. No mind control helmet nor lasers though :{

There is a typo on first page: specifications should be taken from Gigabyte website and not Asus website.
Nice to see a 500 $ Mainboard
Nice to see a 500 $ Mainboard with misplaced power connectors. Modern pc cases tend to place the psu beneath the motherboard but mainboard designs still place power connectors in the upper half of the mainboard. Case and fp connectors in the lower half of the mainboard but most modern cases have fp and additional ports in the upper front of the case. Isn´t that a pain in the ass?
