Motherboards from companies you wish you would have kept for their historical value.

Found a cool thread over at TPU. https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/threads/tpus-nostalgic-hardware-club.108251/

The nostalgia and cool factor is what it's all about. I am disappoint some have misinterpreted what "value" was intended. "A cynic knows the cost of everything, but the value of nothing." or something like that.

That's interesting. Why did they do that? Also whoever came up with that color scheme must really have liked the University of Florida. Or Galford. Or both.

Just to optimize traces from the socket to the chipset and from there to memory slots. If I remember well the chipset is also rotated.
