Default UGLY Boards..

Ive been wondering this for a while and i finally decided to ask about it, i mean there has to besome reasonable expination for this.

WHY are most all motherboards ugly

I mean you rarely find one with colors that go together nicely (like the asus a8n-sli, black/blue/silver)

Boards are usually some ugly brown with way out of place lightblue plastic PCI slots, and that ugly classic green color ugh i hate it.

IMO all boards should be made either black, blue, or red im sick of all those disgusting boards ruining my cases style

I actually like the MSI black/green combo, though they throw in orange and purple for PCI-E/AGP and RAM, respectively.

For stupid people with no depth perception.




Actually, that's a lie. I guess they just do it for contrast.

well...you don't have to go out of your way and point out something irrelevant to the function of a component
