Gone are the days of just turd-yellow/brown or leaf green motherboards - we've seen many colours of PCB come and go. With such a vast choice available now, we're interested in what floats your boat when it comes to the colour of hardware.

I'd say blue, just to match everything else, but seeing as it's on the inside of my machine I don't really care. The only people that should are those that like big plastic windows in their cases and lots of glowy LEDs in it. In which case a UV reflective mobo would look good (insofar as these things do look good).

Mines a weird orange/brown color. I'd like a black one next tho (would suit the blue case fans more).

hmm, black, red, white sounds like it would be weird, but a bit of a grower at the same time. UV reactive, doesnt dfi lanparty do them? or is that just some of the plastic bits that are stuck in, like the ram slots and cpu cage thingy?

personal favourite would be cinnabar, the colour of freshly coagulated blood.

I'm pretty sure it's just the plastic bits. I've played with a LANParty board, but not under a UV light.

I also have a P5B (waiting for a CPU and RAMs in a cupboard), my only problem with it is that it is ugly as fuck.

I must be the only one who likes the old school green. Red doesn't do it for me, although I've seen some silver and white boards that looked pretty sleek.
