It's worth it to kill rap. I have a feeling that he's brewing up something downright hellish

Keeping within the confines of current technology, "killing" someone is all about the amount of money you have to blow (and this applies to most any hobby). Not really worthy of respect in and of itself, imo.

On a brighter note, congrats on the new system Squall. It's about time, haha.

Then let him be, love has noooo limits

But PCs age much faster then humans! By the time rap hits his 30s, his EEEs going to be senior!

Joking aside... Isn't the shipping going to be...risky oO?

I guess Phil will put enough foam in there to make it more sealed than Fort Knox.

Until I see a 4.5GHz Core i7, I'll still say it's not efficient... enough. But the bays sound cool. 4 fans is quite impressive for an mATX. (or actually very impressive)

I'm kinda thinking about... mmm... something else. That reminds me, gotta go hunt for some copper in the garbage dump at some point... :innocent:

*whistles*
i7 920 2.66GHZ only OC's too 4.5GHZ - techPowerUp! Forums

Better hold off on the cpu purchase for a bit longer....

Yep... looking pretty promising there. But I'd just hope for a heat output reduction. ;p

Theres no need to run it that high though. Im looking for a stable 3.7 ghz

Indeed... actually, I had hoped that there would be no need for an overclock at all...

Well, we'll see. :innocent:

i7 920 D0 and its Xeon equivalent cost 318

Zedeck mentioned that the cooling wouldn't hold up, so i ordered something a little sexier.

Thermalright Extreme 120 Copper Edition.
Feast your eyes on nearly 5 pounds of copper!!!!!

This mofo is friggin heavy!

Next up, i have to lap this and mod the retention bracket for more pressure.

Make sure that thing won't knock the tower over. :lol:
