Because it's just a cheap piece of plastic. I seriously doubt it's good at even shielding the CODEC from EMI.

that cooling assembly looks suspiciously close to the RIVE... i'd be willing to bet they're damn close to interchangeable.

Hey Athlonite, Well i'd like a full tower case with a side window and dust filters on the intakes...needs to be able to mount a 240 rad in the top and hopefully under $300NZD - Looking at the NZXT phantom enthusiast at this stage.
Currently looking at selling my HAF 932, motherboard, cpu (with the Xiggy tower cooler), ram, both of my 5850's, dvd writer and 160GB HDD. Know anyone who might be interested? |

I've read your review, nice work man! You mentioned that you updated the bios to the latest revision - which method did you use to update the bios? and what improvements did you see other than the voltage readings?
Mines still in its box waiting for a new case and PSU. Will post loads once it's up and running

Part of my testing process always involves updating to the most recent BIOS. I used the USB BIOS Flashback method, as well as the tool inside the BIOS.
