I have a CUSL2-C Black Pearl that I recently picked up for like 20$. Aside from the black pcb and 20k gold heatsink is there anything special with it when compared to the stock CUSL2-C?

According to this review, it's pretty much a normal CUSL2-C. The "Black Pearledness" came from the packaging, the extras and the styling.

Likely sought after? Reminds me of the Millennium edition of an AOpen Slot 1 motherboard, it also had a gold cooler or something special 😀

I seen the go on eBay for around 40-50$ so it was not a bad deal.
I just needed a 815 for a 1.4ghz system and thought I'd grab one as it was a good deal.

Jade Falcon,

I have wanted that board since it first came out and have been looking for one, off and on, for years now. I'm having to settle for a regular CUSL2-C in my "teenager dream build." Probably weird but it is very much a "one that got away" type of situation for me.

Is there any way at all that you would sell it? Trade? Begging and pleading? Whatever tickles your fancy I suppose.

Thanks!

It's one of Asus first custom boards actually. It says so in the first few pages of the manual. Also has a customizable bios boot screens.

The included screwdriver was unique. Sadly I didn't get one with my ebay purchase.

Mine is paired with a pin modded 1.4ghz P3. If you want to do the same make sure you run the custom evil inside bios. The last official bios gave me periodical boot problems.
