[ASRock](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/phantom-gaming-evo) has launched a new webpage where the community can participate in [designing the brand's newest motherboard](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meg-x870e-godlike), the 'Z690 PG Riptide NFT Edition.' On the webpage, users can paint overtop of the different parts of the motherboard and then submit their design to the pool of user submissions. Then, ASRock will compile every design into one single design by determining the most commonly occurring pixel in each slot.

This essentially results in different forms of [multicolored, scattered pixel patterns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/phanteks-eclipse-g370a) unless there is a large collaborative effort from users. This event will occur three times, meaning there will be three NFT Edition motherboards created. Then, when each one is created it will be raffled off to one of the users who submitted a design to contribute.
