    Sexy Hardware Close-Up Pic Clubhouse.

    I paid about $300 all together for them after buying some 10AWG cable from Blue Jeans Cable. They were used and came with stands, but IMO well worth it. I sold some Klipsch F-3's for these. The Klipsch were wonderful if I had the room for them to flex their twin 10" drivers.

    Just got some real computer speakers. Peeps underestimate how incredible a computer sounds via fiber optic s/pdif > amp. I get a lot of live recordings in lossless shn/flac format and they sound superb. These are B&W 602 Series 3.. Great imagery, not to bright. :rockout:

    I can't really say about temps on air because this 470 is like a heater on air. Most will say it's isn't good at all on air, I have never put any good 140mm's on it. This 600T looks to be pretty good, out in a few weeks.. Twin 200mm at the top,120mm at the rear, air filters, 4 channel fan...

    I did read before I got my 800D that they thought of everything. They did almost. When I first got the case, I put my rig in on air. Then when my new 655 and 470 block came in I went back to all water. You know how you get into a build and there are always screws you need and odds and ends...

    I will take some later in the day when the lighting is better. I personally wold get a 700D. NewEgg had them a week ago with a 650w psu and free shipping for $165 after MIR. The rad is a BlackIce Xtreme III. Some people don't like the barb layout, I do.. I think BlackIce is a VERY good product.

    Flushed my loop last night, thought I'd take a few shots.. The picture doesn't do the Ultra Kaze fans any justice, they are thick. They make that 3/4" compression fitting look like a 1/2". I also have fan covers, cause I don't play with 2k-3k rpms and my fingers. Dust doesn't even stick to...

    Time for watercooling.

    When you are ready to add the Radeon card you could hang a trip rad on the back with a spacer and go something like this. It's a little rough, but you get the idea.. Also you should get a 4 pack for 45° rotaries and a few 90°'s.. not that expensive.. that will help with the tight bends. You...

    Nice 64-bit distro?

    I fell in love with Mint 9 x64.. Even for a total newb like me, it was so painless to install duel booting with win7. Ndiswrapper wireless tool and Flash and were set upon install. Added Cairo Dock and it pure eye candy.

    Battlefield Bad Company 2 Clubhouse

    As we were playing a round all those people got kicked. No list or anything.. Some were even shouting out 'what is going on'... so many people getting kicked off. Normally it's one or two a day not 15-20 in a 10 minute span. That's why I said someone must've posted a new hack that wasn't...

    Battlefield Bad Company 2 Clubhouse

    I played for a while today and there must have been 15-20 peeps banned for aimbot and esp hack in the first 30 minutes of playing.. Someone must have posted a hack and said it would cool and not seen my PB.. Losers.. I am just 'OK' at the game.. that's much better then a cheater.

    Most Beautiful Game?

    Amen to Dirt 2. Modded Oblivion and the NeverWinter series look great, I just couldn't run them on ultra without WC. My old 8800 gts would tip 90c and my rig would raise my room temp.. :)

    GIGABYTE X58A-UD7 is it worth buying?
