It doesn't matter that the radiator is aluminum and that the block is copper. The block is nickel plated (that is why it is silver) so there is no risk of corrosion. This is what most all manufactures do to their blocks because they almost always use copper and just nickel plate the blocks.

Clearly you guys did not look at the slides as it states at the bottom, "Radeon R7 series SSD brought to you by OCZ Storage Solutions." So AMD are not making their own SSDs. This makes the OEM Toshiba.

Yeah I just bought a Asus PB298Q monitor and I love it. I was trying to decide between this monitor or the Asus PB278Q but I felt I would like the wider 21:9 aspect ratio better for my gaming computer. I already have 2 Asus VH236H monitor for my other computer. Plus I just got a Samsung...

Ugh...yes they are... You can see the nuts on the bottom. You see how the edges of the metal are not straight but instead they like bump out. The sides are like puzzle pieces. The screws facing downwards are the same as the one's facing sideways. Plain to see. I'm willing to be every single one...

Nah looks like it is made with all screws. No rivets. Looks like it is using allen screws. Rivets aren't usually that shiny and with metal that thick it wouldn't be practical to use rivets. Plus you can see the hex nuts that each allen screw screws into if you look at the image showing the top.

I have a 360 also and it holds my i7 930 at 4.4 GHz all day long at 1.4 VCORE. It can even handle 4.5 GHz but it is pushing my CPU to it's limits at 1.5 VCORE. I wouldn't mind upgrading to this block for sure though.

Just saw this one at work the other day and found it a little strange. If "different" is what they were going for then they hit the nail on head! It is very sturdy though. I don't know how many people are going to get these cases for their builds so should be interesting once we start selling...

The top part fits an ITX system in it. Could be used as an HTPC, some sort of server or whatever else you want to use it for. Our high end systems built with these cases can cost up to $15,000+. Let me tell you it takes two people to move this beast when it is fully configured! The case alone...

I have both WD Caviar Black 1TB and Samsung SpinPoint F3 1TB drives and by far I like the Samsung drives way better. I never liked Seagate, Hitachi, or Fujitsu drives. I remember when I could get the Samsung drives for $65 off eBay. Even though I have like 8 Samsung drives and 2 WD drives I wish...

What about this GTX680............90mm fan.......26 heatpipes......yikes

This slide is a big ol' pile of BS! I happen to work for a company that builds custom computers and even for us it is difficult to get our hands on the 680 and 690 video cards. Why is this such a big deal you ask? Because companies such as the one I work for and other system builders have...

I hate seeing all these posts about new 680 this or 690 that being released by so and so.....hello....they still aren't available! I hate it though because at work we have boxes of both the 680s and 690s. And when I say boxes I mean big boxes that they come in OEM style with like 30 in a box...

I still have the original game CD somewhere in a box. It still works too.

Ugh....you do know that the design is not the same as a traditional north bridge / south bridge design layout. Essentially there is no north bridge just like the socket 1155. The PCI-E lanes come directly from the CPU and other functions that used to be handled by the north bridge are either...

I just got hired at CyberPower PC yesterday. :rockout: ........sorry completely non-related to the subject.
