I guess green is the rew black lol
Peeks my interest but prices?
I always laugh at PC enthusiasts who get spastic over the color of the PCB be it on a mobo, SSD or GPU. It's like fan blade colors and LEDs. It's totally irrational but to some people it's a big deal. I guess they don't actually use their PC components they just take them to school for show and tell... :wtf: I think the expression "get a life" is really appropriate in these circumstances -- though no offense is intended, really.
but being non-bootable, may seem as a bit of an overkill for a storage (secondary drive) :D
I, for one, prefer simplicity and functionality but I appreciate if people brighten up the world with colours and designs.
But these speeds .... wow :eek:
Although, if someone wants their choice of color or thinks a racing stripe sticker on the side is going to make it go faster then I don't really care. It seems rather petty and irrelevant to me but its really their issue to deal with not mine.
I like original cases, but I care less for internal components looks and colors. I don't use a transparent case, and my friends don't visit me to check my desktop. Except me, nobody cares about it. ;)
I mean OCZ has had their's out for years, ASUS just brought one out at CES and is available, now this. Why do you believe the flood gates are opening?
I don't buy "parts" to impress people i dont know,... I buy them to please me, my expectations and my need for "colors" :D
And yes, im OCD about colors too, and i dont have a transparent case, but i'd be dammed if
i put a nasty looking green card inside it :p
a) make it cheap,
b) make the pcb black,
c) you can apply black/blue plastic design on top, because i have a black/blue msi board (i will never have red nor yellow, neither asus crappy gold nor gigabyte toxic green one),
d) and make it cheap!
e) check a)
I don't see an explosion of this niche item which will drive costs down is why I am asking... To hear what I may be missing or if that is just a gut feeling too. Not all boards can boot from pcie either (though most can at this point).
