Best z77 Board that isn't red or blue?

[njallday]

I'm looking to build a subtle black and white build in a switch 810, and all the z77 boards that I find either have red or blue components. Can anyone recommend a decent z77 board that is all black or another subtle color that's around $140-$160?

I'm gonna assume thats US Dollars (if not let me know). My choice would be the ASRock Z77 Extreme6. The Asus Sabertooth is out of your price range, and the MSI Z77 GD65 and Gigabyte Z77X UD3 and UD5 have blue on them

[font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]Gigabyte Z77X-D3H, you can take the heatsinks off and replace them for 3rd party ones[/font]

[font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]since green wasnt mentioned in black list how about g1 sniper? g1 sniper 3[/font]

[font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]off course sabertooth [/font]

[font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]and

Asus P8Z77 WS Intel Z77 if you can be bothered in changing the pcie and ram plastics​

Indeed, USD. Yeah i really like the ASRock. The z77 Sabertooth's thermal armour just looks terrible tbh, I think it's a let down from the p67s. Anyway, thanks for the input. I'm thinking I might just go for a black/blue theme due to the absense of sensible colored motherboards.

I do love the gigabyte g1 series, but the only z77 one out is the microATX one that you mentioned. I feel micro ATX boards are dwarfed by full tower cases, and the awesome green asthetics would be blocked by my 570 and RAM. Either way, if they come out with a full sized ATX G1, it'll be out of my price range. This is a frustrating situation

There is a nice orange and black Z77 board, can't remember who it's made by though, think it might be Zotac.

EDIT:

Found it

Find some pictures of it without the armor. It's a really cute board with the plastic off.

Oh and +1 for PetrolHead's suggestion of the AsRock boards. Both the Extreme6 and 9 is nice looking.

the ASRock z77 Extreme 4 is nice and simple, little bits of gold here and there but not over the top

Hmm it appears I might just have to go for an asrock... or maybe a sabertooth if i find a deal

There is always the bling board from ECS as well

Uuughh. That board makes me want to vomit uncontrollably onto my keyboard. Read it had quite a few bios issues too...
