Best Motherboard PCB color?

JPS · Mar 3, 2003

Me - I wanna see someone make a WHITE PCB w/ blue stenciling and black PCI/DDR slots or black stencil and blue slots!

C'mon ABIT and EPOX - do something different!

not a mobo but triplex makes some sweet lookin silver pcb video cards.

one of the best colors in my opinion.

How about orange PCB .... or fushia, even cyan! Though Solteks yellow looks pretty cool.

JPS · Mar 3, 2003

Their yellow would be good IF it was yellow and not gold-flecked - that looks too pimpish IMHO.

Field Orange, White or bright yellow get my votes!

soyo dragons?

I want something with an NF2 chipset (or better) that just looks 'different'.

Imagine an all black case with a white mobo PCB under blacklighting. That would look schweet.

I really think white is the next great color for PCBs - someone has got to try it, but only if the rest of the board is kick ***!

Out of curiosity, why are most PCBs green anyways?

I did read once a DIY article on painting the mobo with UV rattle can paints. So I guess you could ... carefully ... paint the motherboard any color you wanted. White, orange and yellow combo's would make a great conversation piece at a lan party.

JPS - do those soltek boards have a matalic-paint finish? I had pictured a solid yellow. Yeah ... if they're matalic, they would look pimpish.

Theyare gold flake - not solid yellow

How about solid black, or another dark color with UV reactant traces, maybe red, blue, yellow, orange uv traces hehe.
That'd look pretty pimp imo

I like msi k7n2 models with the red.......

Stedeman · Mar 4, 2003

blue...just blue

yep, and they're sweet as hell if you're using case with window

... can't beat them at that price

i'd like to see one with the goatse picture on it....OR HOT PINK!

penguinpoo · Mar 4, 2003

Hmm... I would have to say white! That would look ace! everything else in black or UV reactive. That would be good

The soltek golden flame is a very nice shade of yellow. Check it out

JPS · Mar 4, 2003

hate the gold 'flecks' - wish it were solid yellow. Looks way to cheezy with the gold flecks...

Obsidian · Mar 5, 2003

Hmm pink. would be interesting, the pastel pink anyway, hot pink is to bright looking.

Dont know if you've thought of this but, you can paint the board on your own, theres paint that is non conductive, just tape off things like connectors, memory, socket. ect, and spray paint it.

I'm actually in the process of tracing out the leads my motherboard, video card, and modem with a uv reactive marker-pen. When i'm done i'm going to use my model paint brushes and black paint to fill in the areas between the leads

Codeman05 · Mar 5, 2003

yea I have, but I'm not "artsy" enough to trace the traces...my lines would be all over the place, plus with my luck I'd fry the board lol

Maybe when I go for an NF2 board I'll experiment on this one hehe

Soltek make boards called the Silver Glacier, they are white with like a silver coating (looks more white tho), I used to own a P4 one with the VIA P4X400 chipset...

<-- thats the one I had, they also make KT333 and Kt400 boards in purple, and nforce2 in gold/yellow

Albatron make Silver boards too.
