Buildzoid will be happy about the orange.

I like that it has a PS/2 port. I wish more new motherboards included them.

A black board with white accents, and merely a handful of orange stripes?

COWARDS!

I kind of miss Gigabyte blue and MSI red. And the classic green.

Great. World held it breath waiting for a new colour and name series. Who cares? After assembling compueter i never look at it unless i upgrade. How about a simplier naming scheme without pro, max, aourus, ultra durable, aero, gaming. Like i wont be gaming on aourus, or gaming mobo wont be ultra durable? How am i supposed to match new orange with my blue led memory kits raptor balistic?

And im user of gigabyte motherboards, exclusively. I'm tired it gets more about confusing looks than specs.

Does it have a matching graphics card?

IMO, Slate (The pickup truck brand) has the right idea.
Sell a single color and let the user add their own vinyl wrap.
Partner up with Dbrand or something, they'll do any kind of wrap.

Ahh I miss Abit...I used to buy their motherboards only.

I once built a whole system that was incompatible with itself on an Abit board. All the parts worked separately, but put them together, and it was a stability mess. Windows 98 lasted about 4 hours before corruption, Windows XP about a day, Windows 2000 weirdly nearly a week. Ended up killing a hard drive and I parted the build out. CPU was sold off and it performed for years after. I even kept the motherboard and it worked fine with the same memory and a different CPU.
First time I bought top of the line in frustration, so went from a 1Ghz Athlon to a 1.533 GHz Athlon XP.
