I was part expecting a white PCB... like the good ol' days.

I had one of those, looked really cool.

This mobo looks like it has no options for other cards if you use dual slot GPUs (what an awful design)

These were really old days (for mobo manufacturers) and sapphire always mish-mash something with color of their mobos. These whitees were nice but not really appealing for longer setup (I like nurses more than mobos :D) especially when they get dirty :p
The last white mobo was based on rs690 aka. 690g chipset 3yrs ago all newbies since that come with black pcb (maroon in fact :D) but pure black msi mainstream mobos i like. only bad thing is low manufacturing quality from series to series and pcb price cutoffs small pcb --> bad pwm heat dissipation (==achilles heel with many msi)

It was made by company called STURGEON.
