My 2nd Project Log

[Chicken Patty]

indeed it will, just cancelled the order from mdpc, needed the money for something else, and more important

but if you like those nzxt cables then i'll buy them next months

I'll definitely give you some feedback on them. I'm not looking to be on MDPC, if the extensions do good, they are staying.

 

[(FIH) The Don]

thx man, will be lookin forward to it

wish they would make them i different colors, maybe they will one day.

Well you can always buy some sleeving then and do it yourself Or order a MDCP sleeve kit and then by the bare extension and sleeve it yourself how you want. Still will be cheaper than PPCS

Man, every time I take my right side panel off, and see all that bare wire.. I think.. Man, do I really want to do that.. lol

As for the old set up.. It was cool, but hell... this looks sweet!!! Can only get better man! I miss... my P35 set up the most.

 

[(FIH) The Don]

yeah i know, but then there is problems with warrenty and what not, extensions are just FTW imo, even though it does require some good wm on the backside

haha yeah, that was insane, but i think they do it by hand, and nzxt is getting it done on a machine or by some 10 year old kids in china

Yeah can't go wrong with extensions. However, these NZXT Sleeved extensions look really good man, the quality looks pretty badass. I will have to see them up close and personal when I receive them, but they look really good. The price is what scared me a bit but i'll give it a shot, why not?

well i dont really think that the price is that high at all seen from a danish perspective, a "normal" extension for 24pin cost around 20$,

so if i can get a 24pin sleeved from caseking.de for 12 $, i am more than happy to pay that hehe

when will you get that SSD?

 

[Cold Storm]

Yeah CP... This case, cooler has been the cheapest I've done in a while... I love it a lot more then the MM.. But, I think I went to try and do "to much" at once for myself.

But.. You can't say this wasn't pimp

I miss that card... lol

Um, Paul wasn't able to get it out last week because of the weather conditions, not sure if he got it out. It's ok though, rig is running no rush

oh well, as long as your rig is running then there is no big haste i guess

Wasn't modded.. I had one of just a few purple/silver 8800gt 1gb Palit cards.. It was a great card.. just took it to artifact heaven.. Dang Striker II board was an open box... with a second sticker placed over the first... Damn someone did the "open box" swap at newegg..

It's out of the rig dude, never ran 3dmark I hit like 12 or 14k with it on my 9850 I believe.

SSD is in

 

[eidairaman1]

I think in a few Months I will have a Few SLC drives

It's SLC and MLC right? What's the difference?

 

[eidairaman1]

Single Layer Cell vs Multi Layer Cell. MLCs are cheaper to produce but Data Integrity is less than SLCs and also tend to be slower while their capacity is greater than SLCs currently. SLCs are very fast but expensive to produce and are in less density currently.

So when you say a few, how many are we looking at?

 

[eidairaman1]

Let me Rephrase Id have a Mode 5 Raid setup with them and the Mass Storage of HDs for stuff that doesnt need all the speed in the world. Just one thing I wish board makers would get a clue in, have 2 PEG Slots- Put 1 at top, put other at bottom and just have a flex cable for SLI/crossfire, not right next to eachother and not blocking any Slots.
