That is a very interesting color choice. Also not a fan of those sata port placement. but it is nice that they go with 2 m.2 shields when they have 2 m.2 ports....

A "flagship" board with no right-angled SATA ports, a DVI connector, and only 6 USB ports total on the IO panel?

Seems "flagship" means "the most shitty useless LED bling" nowadays.

Other than the m2 heatsinks ( which cost maybe $2 to make), there isn't a single damned thing here that would make me want to call this a "flagship" board, let alone to actually buy one...

But seriously, if you wanna get into the coffee lake realm and try to cheap it out by buying a P.O.S. like this, then you should really reconsider your priorities :fear:

You guys have to keep in mind for BIOSTAR "flagship" means "not complete garbage."

This really is a middle range board at best.
