Prettiest Mobo

What do you guys think the prettiest Mother Board is?

Things to take into consideration:
1. Color (Board, Ports)
2. Overall design (port set up, socket placement etc...)
3. Capacitator placement
4. Anything else you can think of

My personal favorite is the ASUS A8N-SLi deluxe.

My reasons are the board color, and the port colors look very nicely together. Also the dual video card setup is nice with the PCIe x1 port inbetween to help out the airflow. The complete design of it is pretty attractive, in a non sexual sort of way. It will be my next upgrade, along with Albatron's 6600GT. Can't wait to hear yours.

Peace,
Alex

    It seems like a good board feature-wise, but not very pretty in my opinion. Certainly not ugly, and better than Epox green, but the IDE, PCI, and ATX connectors are all the standard colors. Personally, I think the old Soyo Dragon boards were the best looking out there.

    I must say, I love the look of the DFI ultra-d. The overall board layout is good. :thumbsup:

    Chipset fan is a VERY close fit to PCI-E slots though (height wise), thats about my only concern. My radeon comes within a hair of the blades.

    Cosmetically, It just looks like it means business :D .. The regulation components look overbuilt, and of good quality. Heatsinks on the mosfets as well. I use a TDX, so socket clearance is not a big issue for me, however it is spacious enough for most sinks I would think. XP-120s overhang the closest dimm slots I've heard..

    I'm pretty fond of my CT Zenith 9CJS in terms of both layout and looks.

    Chaintech and Soyo both built some sharp looking mobo.

    Today, the DFI LanParty is great looking. I am not a moder, and don't usually like all of the flashy stuff, but I saw a box with the LP, special cables, blacklight and so on. It was sharp. It helped that there were no lit fans to clutter things up.

    I haven't used one, but that said, it's a pretty good looking MB with rave reviews, and they have graphics cards to match.......
