The Sabertooth lineup of motherboards are great boards but am I the only one who thinks that the colour scheme is horrible?
 
I love it,

but still hate those cheap screws as in the picture above. Why do the still use the "philips" style screws instead of allen like they have done with the silver tipped allen screws.
 
I dislike how they used two styles of thermal armour. Imo they should have stuck to the smoother 'gunmetal' surface and not put that black 'metal texture' stuff back on. Just makes it look all over the place.
 
The back looks so much better than the front. Why can't they just make a black board, maybe with a few brownish "TUF" coloured bits. It honestly just looks tacky to me.

Its much nicer in the flesh - and onces youve built it you cant really see the brown.

I really like the gunmetal 'armour' too

I've never actually seen one, so I'll take your word for it ;)
.
I like the "armour" on the ROG black edition board, so if they did something like that on a TUF board, that would be awesome
 
Oh my god this is the sex !!!
Depending on when The new X109 platform comes out I might just get that on launch day or get this if the next platform is a good distance away.
 
This is a stunning looking board. I am in the process of readying an X99 system, have you got any info on price or UK release? I might hold off if this isn't too far away...
