I admit it looks really good, better than my Rampage V which also has a nice visual design (not that it matters THAT much if you don't have a windowed side panel). I would have loved to have this uber 1337 z0mFG edition from MSI for my X99 build, but sadly it's too late for me and I bet availability and price will be equal inS@n3!!111

Coolest looking motherboard I have ever seen to date, and I dont have anything against the big GODLIKE spam on top of the I/O ports, since im a big Unreal Tournament fan.
