Those boards are gorgeous!
 
MSI seems to be on roll lately with motherboard designs. I hope they expand their service and sales presence in India soon. Its very difficult to find dealers selling MSI motherboards anymore, everywhere there are Asus and Gigabyte products on sale. Graphics cards are not that big of an issue to procure as I know the distributor very well.
 
Nice looking board but the amount of all these Z97 boards is getting ridiculous.
As if ~90 boards weren't enough already...
