The reason why I went with the G.Skill ECO kit is that they are 1600mhz at 7-8-7 using only 1.35v so I knew they had plenty of overclocking headroom (2000mhz at 9-9-9 using 1.6v W00T!). So far my experience has been that the higher the density, the lower the overclocking potential. If this...

I'm surprised you haven't made the jump already, Rob. I suppose after looking at your current list of drives you're more about storage than speed.

Possibly. The question is can they handle a low enough voltage to get to that point? There are some fans that just simply stop spinning when they get too low. I'm not sure if that would be an issue on this though because it's electrical, not mechanical. I think you need to get a few, rig up...

Since I have no practical application for TEC cooling, I have not researched it too much but if you can cool a component below ambient temperatures don't you then have to watch for condensation? If you were to simply slap one of these onto a GPU it would short. If I'm not mistaken you need...

I predict that I'll be fit-shaced before the end of the pre-game show!

That's a big flippin' case! It'll look mighty pretty once the gear just put in it.

So I tripped over a gigantic bag of money.... Just kidding.

XFX has the Cadillac of warranties but I've owned mostly Sapphire my entire computer building life without so much as a hiccup. Now that I think about it, the only thing I have ever had to RMA was an ASRock board.

:eek: Talk about a bunch of tighties. It's only more than 8 mortgage payments. Sheesh! :D

You sound like you work where I do. Ahh, Saint John. Land of smelly smells that smell and call centers that stretch as far as the eye can see.

I just don't go to LAN parties. The sun burns my pastey, geek-ridden skin.

I'd like to see if Lucid could work their witchcraft to get this to fly on a P67 board. Then you'd get a media/gaming system/overclocked monster all in one. I doubt it could happen because there's nothing that would access Quick Sync from the motherboard level.

Wireless devices you can take with you. Backpack 'em. As for non-USB devices, use the rear audio connectors because you can still run it through the same PCI cover.

I still think the PCI slot cover that comes with my CM Storm Sentinel Advance is a better solution, especially when coupled with a case that allows you to lock the side panel. http://www.tweaknews.net/reviews/cooler_master_cm_storm_sentinal_advance_mouse/img/13.jpg

According to Rob's review of the 6950 in CrossfireX coupled with an i7, the cards can push an average of 108 FPS at 2560x1600 with x4AA and fully pimped graphics. I'd say double 6950's would be more than enough.

True, 22% of tens of millions is a lot of cash (if it even is that high) but how profitable is the market? We know DRAM prices always sag around this time and are lower in general than even a year ago plus I can only speculate about the number of RMA's when even trained monkies are overclocking...

I'm running an Antec Three Hundred and it is one of the best cases I have ever used. The fit and finish for a $50 case is incredible. I'd rank it higher than the much more expensive NXZT Tempest, which is a good case in its own right. You get enough thumbscrews to choke a geek (I'll likely...

The DRAM market is notorious for its first quarter lull. Things naturally slow down after the holiday season. I guess OCZ sees SSD's as such a booming opportunity that they can poor DRAM resources into and the market growth outweighs the drop in NAND prices.

*sniff, sniff* I smell review fodder! ***EDIT: Money shots of the P67 board previewed at this year's CES have started to pop up.

The last dual GPU solution was the 9800 GX2 if I remember correctly and that was an actual reference card from NVIDIA. I'm not sure about custom made boards from partners.
