Yeah it's a U2-UFO, seems to be a slightly different type than the ones in all the reviews I've found.

Instead of 3 x 80mm on the back(the side where your water cooling etc goes) it has 2 x 120mm.



Edit: Build log is up http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=169571 no write up just yet.

Very nice cases I think yours is like that because it's a U2, which was newer IIRC

I know they were/are limited edition, mine is more limited than the rest since I changed all the yellow bits to black. That and the fact they are very near $400 keeps them out of most peoples grasp.

It's damn nice! I really like the checker plate MoBo tray, looks industrial like. Plus it just doesnt look like your average square, open bench

But then again, you aren't the average square mod either

Not for reviews on the card itself, but one was given to me for review purposes. Unfortunately it did not come in retail packaging. The other I bought myself.

Things are coming together, slowly, gonna have a big re-bench session real soon!

Nice hardware, but those cards really do bend a lot. Needs some backplate with metal support like the new DCII models.

The bend is pull from the power cables. I propped up the cables, and now there is no sag.

After reading many reviews(Dave's mostly) I did it...traded all AMD hardware(except for the cards) for an I5 2500K + Z77X-UD5H pics below:
Old hardware spread around:



New one come on in:



Make yourself at home


Didn't give it a try in Battlefield yet but I think it should rock

I'm loving the rigs and I can't help get excited about them!! I'm gonna have issues with my fiancee if I'm not carefull!!

I'm in need of some help guys... What should I do??

I'm giving both i7's (920 @ 4.2Ghz, 6Gb of ram, the 580's and the water cooling to go with so motherboard and CPU as well) away to our son's and I have sat here (for the moment) a pair of 580's that I'd like to change at some point, 8Gb of Mushkin Blackline ram (I bought it cheap for my server rig and it worked fine) and a i7 2600k CPU that I'm told with do 5.2Ghz all day long..

I've got my quad rad's still with fans and I'm looking to build it into a system for myself....

Any suggestions would be amazing, cos I've got no clue at all!!
