Asus's Sabertooth P67 Sandy Bridge Motherboard has a Tactical Vest

alright, now THIS is cool.

I want one.... really... I do....

Seriously...

They certainly know how to pluck those 'military grade' designs. Damn.... I really do want one. 5 Year warranty probably, like the last... if only they could make a GPU that lasts longer than 6 months... Hop to it ASUS... Military grade GPU's please.

Miltary grade motherboards, preschool grade video cards.

I hear you.

MSI makes "military grade" GPUs already, so there's that option. I am not sure MSI is going to the extent that ASUS is on these boards though.

I am not a fan of the shroud on this board, and fail to truly understand its purpose, but I love everything else about it, especially the color scheme. The five year warranty is quite amazing as well.

I think I'd rather be able to see all the components instead of that shroud. It is interesting though.

The shroud is designed to direct airflow, not quite sure how, maybe it touches the MOSFETs and other hot components to cool em?

Cool! This can be my motherboard for my future upgrade! Sweet!

All it does is direct airflow towards the hottest areas, I believe. I'd rather see the components regardless... I've never noticed parts of the board (aside from CPU and bridges) get so hot that I thought a solution like this was ever needed.
