Screwed ITX layout, will be a nightmare to use any decent air cooler. They didn't learn anything from ASUS

Only reason I haven't bought a z87 mini-itx motherboard so far is that it only allow such a ridicilous amount of RAM.

The AMD boards allow 32 GB but ..

Kinda thought about getting an AMD kit instead and just upgrade say one year from now to an Intel kit then. In that case I would possibly just settle for the APU now and get that future generation of graphics card then rather than say z97 + Haswell refresh "now" and GTX 770/R9 290.

Why can't we get away from Red/Black themed mobos? I'd prefer all motherboards to be solid black so it works with all color schemes.

Oooo boy, I can't wait for another $400 Z87 mobo aimed at gamers with more money than sense. The black and red motif means it goes faster, right?

If they could stop using Killer NICs that would be great.
I would rather them use Killer NICs instead of Realtek Horse Manure like everyone else.
The problem is that I want to use Linux, OS X hack and possibly FreeBSD and weirdgear isn't an advantage. Isn't there like no advantage at all in using Killer NIC vs Intel NIC in Windows too? Feel more like a Razer advantage .. as in "thanks but no thanks - pretty marketing though .."
