As far as physical appearance goes, I have to agree with Ket. The layout and colors used on this Bloodrage board are god awful ugly.

I thought the attraction to this board was based on its performance and options. Were all the threads about people not being able to wait for this board to be released based on the fact that they liked the way the board looks, or does it offer certain things that the other X58 boards do not. I still haven't been able to figure that out.
