mhhh companies telling us what we need and dont need... dont we just all love it?Originally Posted by Russian
no, ati and dfi were the first with red and black on their collaborative RD480 ES board that was later sold by sapphire with white pcb and red colors.
asus did black red blue white for a long time, which i dont think was even on purpose as its not much of a color scheme and wasnt particularly pretty... they did one prototype board, the pinot noir, where they ALMOST dropped the blue, and which was a beautiful piece of art but unfortunately never made it to market...
after this asus went back to black white red blue...
bloodrage came out with 100% black and red FIRST...
then evga was "inspired" by that and so was asus, jetway and even ecs iirc...
mem slots are black and white
The very same board that raked up a 10000$ debt with XS alone!
There was also a dual socket AMD board that had predominantly red slots even before the one above.
pciE slots are red and white
i see blue and green usb/firewire slots, a babyblue dipswitch console, blue jumpers, silver and purple capacitors and pink and yellow stickers
sorry but if the popular color combo would be black and white or white and red, you would probably claim this board started it as well :P
