After reviewing several of the latest Intel X99 Express based motherboards we're now putting our hands on ASUS's X99-WS/IPMI workstation motherboard. At a very first look we find the same color scheme, which you also get with ASUS's classic series motherboards, but at this point the similarities already stop.
