To be fair, Biostar are nothing special but they make some great boards for HTPCs. I mean cheap boards with nice audio solutions.
I remember I almost bought a Biostar board for my build in the z77 days. That TZ77-XE4 looked absolutely gorgeous with some G.Skill Ares RAM. I mean look at it
ASUS is my main go to lately, but their boards look so ugly as well. I don't know about going with them this time around. I think I'll go with whatever looks appropiate... I think.
