Is it weird that I'm turned on by computer parts?

[jalb]

Yes. Yes, I think it is.


But damn, this motherboard is sexy.

I am so building a new computer when I get my tax refund.

That is a lovely looking thing, it reminds me of the electronic smell when first opening the anti-static packaging. I was over the moon with my XFX board, the colours were awesome. Then again, I've chucked my rig for an Apple Mac Mini, which is equally good looking in my eyes. Ah, if only computers could cook meals, do my washing, tuck me into bed at night...

Anti-static packaging is like love. I also love the packaging my asthma meds come in. And coffee. I'm a packaging dork. I routinely look at the bottom of cardboard boxes to see what weight the cardboard is.

Give more details on the board.

Nice stuff!

I do some online gaming, but I haven't done a build in about 3 years. My last build was:

BioStar TpowerX58 LGA 1366
Intel i7 920 Nehalem 2.66GHz Quad-Core
12GB Kingston HyperX DDR3 1600
1TB Seagate hard drive
2-XFX Radeon 5770 Crossfire
Corsair 850w PS
Asus DRW-1608P3S & DRW-1814BL
dual boot, Win7 64bit, LinuxMint11 64 bit.

Are you one of those "aroused by unboxing" types? I'm waiting for an AOTS "WTF?" segment on it...

Definitely dual-booting. I'm a huge dorky fan of PCLOS though. Best hardware recognition I have ever encountered. Jolicloud was a close second but I hate the whole HTML5 direction they went in.

omg. The Unboxing part of Youtube is made for me, lol. I love the boxes - I will never buy an Apple product for myself, but damn them *****es have nice boxes.

I've tried PCLinuxOS. I haven't heard of Jolicloud. I normally watch DistroWatch.com: Put the fun back into computing. Use Linux, BSD. and put a new distribution on my laptop about once a month. On my main box I normally stick with Ubuntu, LinuxMint, Fedora or SuSE.

I actually kind of like the new Ubuntu, with the Unity menu, for as much **** as it gets. It always makes my colors look weird though, never figured that out.

Jolicloud is based on Ubuntu Netbook Remix, and it used to be amazing, but then they went with this whole HTML5 launcher thing and it got weird.

No, it's not! This lovely blue motherboard is amazing! I dreamed of getting one since it was out in stores. And now I have it!
