Albatron PX845E i845E Silver Motherboard Review

With the motherboard markets so competitive right now, manufacturers must take extra measures to ensure their products stand out, and that you the consumer buy them. This competitiveness usually translates into more features for the consumer, and flashier appearances in some cases. One of the most popular tools of the trade for main board and video card makers has been the use of multi-coloured PCB's. A few years ago, the colour of a motherboard was determined by how it was made, usually ending up green or brown in colour. A few manufacturers broke the mold and tried black PCB's, which were originally marketed as Mil Spec grade if I remember correctly. One thing lead to another and now we have motherboards on store shelves in every colour, from purple to blue, green to red. Albatron have chosen a nice shade of blue for most of their motherboards, but the PX845E is obviously different... it's coated in silver.
