Also, that motherboard looks hideous. Aside from the fact that there is way too much metal on there for me to feel comfortable supporting with a motherboard, I don't see a use for the RAMsinks. They would also be hardpressed to find an uglier color for a motherboard; if you are going to have large chunks of shiny metal, black is the color to go with, not omg-blinding-baby-poop-green.

I seriously doubt that anyone would buy these products because there were some chicks in their Mom's nightgown..............but having women advertise products for a market that is predominantly younger men is just smart: it makes the target market look at the pic. While they have their attention, "oh hey, here's my product."
THey're not insulting anyone's intelligence by saying that anyone will buy the product just because it's held by women, rather they just hope to get attention......

BTW if you have a baby that craps that color then get it to an emergency room FAST! It may have eaten radioactive material.....

It's hard to spot but it is there!

There's so much metal on that board, it's a bit borderline insane. What else can they possibly build a huge cooler for? The southbridge? The IDE connector?
