The MSI Eclipse Motherboard does not have the warning becasue you can set the Vcore and Vram seperately.

Both the Foxconn Renaissance and Rlood Rage boards are also coming out with SAS ports.

A link i found on the MSI Eclipse detailing all about the board, http://www.xfastest.com/redirect.php?tid=15646&goto=lastpost

I have seen the Asus motherboard roughly out perform the Gigabyte board in Vantage http://hothardware.com/Articles/Intel-Core-i7-Processors-Nehalem-and-X58-Have-Arrived/?page=8 But have not seen anything of the MSI board, does anyone know where a review of it is? or if there is even one...

The Asus P6T motherboard has 2 SAS ports on it, would anyone know if this would be any good for 3 video cards, i definately want 2 running at 16x/16x excluding that what do people think about the MSI Eclipse board??

Hi, im looking for a X58 Motherboard, but i cant decide which one, the machine is going to be a gaming rig mainly but also an everyday use one. The reason for the confusion, is i was wanting to get a motherboard with SAS but also looking at 2 4870X2 and a third physics card either nvidia PhysX...

Cheers again, I was thinking phase but have not really had any experience in it. Has anyone had any experience with the Boreas TEC Cooling System, (the one that does NOT come preinstalled in the case) as im not sure about being able to fit it in the 1200 case

Cheers, the 9770 may change to Q9550 as a temp till the nehalm come down in price a bit. Forgot to mention the raptors are there just for the operating systems. (maybe adding linux to the first one) Any ideas on cooling solutions would also be great

There is nothing floating around on the net due to them being pre productions. They have done a limited number release for testing. They are from Western Digital

Build will be sometime later this year. With regards to the 10TB drive, they are a pre production run so not officially launched. Around a cost of $4000 NZD

Ok, cheers, ill take your advise on board, ill let you know as soon as i find out about the 10TB drive. Also NVIDIA v ATI any recommendations and if so what cards? (I have read a numerous reviews but cant decide)

Thanks for the Advice, the processor choice was based on the overclocking as opposed to the multitasking. I also chose this to future-proof the system so i will not have to worry about changing many parts for a number of years. I am also aiming for bench mark scores and being able to run any...

Yea 10TB, not a typo. I have not actually seen this, but i know a importer/tech guy who uses them for there servers and desktops. Ill check with him and see prices etc.

I am looking towards the extreme system, mainly due to that i will be doing a lot of multitasking, (usually run 4+ programs at once), also so i dont need to upgrade for a couple of years and will survive while im doing my computer science degree. The main reason i have gone with koolance is...
