I blame case windows for this. The last desktop I built, it was a chore finding a case that didn't look stupid, and I eventually gave up on a normal motherboard

I blame case windows for this. The last desktop I built, it was a chore finding a case that didn't look stupid, and I eventually gave up on a normal motherboard, as anything with a z170 chip set looked like it belonged in a transformers toy. And while people definitely geek out over servers, it's nearly all about specs. After all, why make something that gets hidden away in a rack in a DC look pretty? I suspect that is one reason Apple isn't using green mask, since the connotation for many people is 'cheap'
