With Asus going somewhat over the top with hulking products for its ROG 20th anniversary, it might have slipped under your radar that Gigabyte is also throwing a party. To celebrate 40 years of making all things PC-related, it's releasing a host of special edition goodies at this year's Computex event, and top of the tree for me is a very spiffy-looking motherboard.

To make the X870E Aorus Infinity Next stand out from the crowd, Gigabyte has gone decidedly over the top, with "flagship engineering" that "combines space-tech and data center-grade design through rocket thruster-grade thermal materials and advanced 3D metal printing technology". No, I didn't make that up.
