Asus' retro-themed ROG Crosshair 2006 hits you in the feels the moment you see it, but the nostalgia isn’t for nostalgia’s sake — there’s some serious modern hardware underneath. If the limited-run retro aesthetic speaks to you, it’s worth the premium. Otherwise, buy the Dark Hero and pocket the difference.

Pros

+Throwback aesthetic with loads of copper color

+2-inch OLED Display on M.2 heatsink

+Five M.2 sockets (2x PCIe 5.0)
