This is the motherboard I used for my second custom built PC. It was actually not that bad.

Edit: i mixed up 775 and Socket A, lol.
 
Damm good board that.

The market misses Abit imo,they never made the best looking boards,but my god they could clock!!

and the built in waterblock..

I had one of them board's and it was a excellent overclocker, far better than the Rampage II Extreme but sadly it had a faulty South Bridge chip and took me nearly 2 years to get it repaired and in the end Gigabyte couldn't fix it and kept sending it back faulty so I just binned it in the end.

I did notice though that the built in waterblock for the Northbridge and the added block didn't actually reduce the temp's by much iirc it was only around 2c when under water.
 
Imagine that in all white!

You can paint motherboards with paint, you just need to tape off the pci/ram slots and some other pieces and I think you use the krylon plastics paint. I've seen it done and the user reported no problems if you want I can go searching for the link

EDIT: lol I'm so dumb..."you can paint motherboards with paint"
