I wish that manufacturers would switch from this looks-oriented mentality to a quality one. Make a ton of CPU phases, have the whole board use the best of the best of the best in terms of quality and being uncompromised hardware-wise in general. Some people might say that it is somehow accomplished already, but I don't believe it 100%. I would rather get a non-decorated motherboard with $250-worth of actual hardware on it, than an LED fest that has not gone 150% on the hardware side.

its still man made, and will still have a certain amount of them fail.
NASA is best proof that man made stuff, even with best materials/production/design, will fail at some point.
just nice to see how they lie to your face by saying carbon. if this was real carbon (fiber), it would conduct electricity.
the major reason i didnt use it to build my quadrotor.

I have this board. I don't think its actual carbon-fiber but it definitely is some type of aluminum metallic shielding with the fiber design. Its shiny as funk too. Looks BEAUTIFUL and performs amazing. I also have the original Godlike and this black colored one really makes the leds POP bright!
