Hate the faceplate. It's that damn Burnt Cyan color Crayola that always survived my grade school years unscathed. It's also "bubbly". It looks _so_ out of place next to my 760s.

Newsflash!:

We are going to change that exciting "Burt Orange" color to the same "champagne" color as the F840.

The F840 has been shipping for ages now, and nobody has complained loudly about the color.

Of course, we have had a few people who said, "I wish it was something more 'flashy'." Now I personally love bright, highly-saturated colors, and I love the F840 face plate. But the problem is that, whatever direction of 'flashy' color you try to go, someone will have a bad association with it.

Like for you, it sounds like you had a traumatic experience with a grade school teacher and a crayola. I am so sorry to have triggered this awful flashback for you.

Hopefully the "champagne" will have more positive associations for people. :-)
