    It's almost the same colour scheme they're using for years... And by the end, it will suck, as always Gigabyte do with the DS4 and DQ6 and so, just good at the beginning, then the bugs screwed up like popcorns. lol

    in theory, I dont care either, but I just cant associate rainbows with performance. Sorry, I know my arguement and "point" is crap, but I wouldnt buy a high-powered car if it only came in rainbow colours

    damn Gigabyte does pick the ugliest colors. It seems like their boards are inspired by a six years old and a pack of crayons.

    Most useless thing ever: 4 Ethernet ports. WOW I CAN USE TEAMING TO COMBINE THOSE INTO ONE MASSIVE 4GB CONNECTION; TOO BAD THAT'S ONLY GOOD FOR LANS.

    Aren't they the 4 Esata ports? Maybe they are USB, it's a bit hard to tell.

    it looks like:
    4 x RJ-45
    4 x USB
    2x PS/2
    + Serial
