I have changed the mother board to this : http://www.scan.co.uk/products/asrock-z ... i-d-hdmi-a
This is for two reasons;
1) The green on the gigabyte was a bit lurid
2) Im having to cut down on price a little due to a few things I urgently need, e.g. shoes , and a haircut

The fact that it is urgent makes it seem like have grown the feet of a yeti and your hair is growing uncontrollably.

Not sure If you can see it but I installed the green BitFenix badge into the front, looks so sexy.
The case also covered in this lovely smooth coating.
