If I may, to rant about hardware too...
The ONLY mobo that fit most of my criteria was the flagship (no midrange mobo has enough friggin SATA ports on it which is ridiculous, requiring separate purchases of extension boards that would take space or just not fit thanks to C H O N K GPUs), and even THEN it's the shitty AS(S)US brand, and my specific specimen intermittently glitches upon shutting down and refusing to start and appartently that is a common issue in this board and it's "dark" edgy counterpart.

Says a lot about quality too.
