I wonder if changing the color scheme/adding LEDs, then putting some gaming oriented label on a product actually increases sales.

As long as the motherboard does its job without breaking, a gamer couldn't care less about whether a 'gaming' motherboard is in use. What matters is that the CPU/GPU keep up.

Racing? I'm tempted to do a build in a race car now and sue them when it breaks on fast cornering or something.
