That little guy is like his signature. It makes me laugh every time I see it's little eyes pointing in two different directions xD
Really nice stuff DD. The 24pin line on that revolution always reminds me of a snake. |

Are you going to sleeve each wire of the cords individually? It looks kind of cool that way but it makes the case look a lot more messy IMO. I think that some well done regular colored sleeving would look nice.

I plan to. And I'm running on a techstation as well. I have a few ideas for keeping the wires together so it's neater. That's a bit down the road, though.

OK this was a big weekend for me. No pics at the moment, but I figured I'd share at least the text of what I bought this weekend.
(1) i7 860 (2) i5 750 (2) EVGA P55 FTW SLI Reselling most of it. Going to give one of the EVGA P55's a try to see how I like it compared to the Gigabyte, but I bought my memory to match the GB, so most of them will probably be a resale. All this hardware's gonna make for some cool pictures, though

I wish I did. They were out within an hour of opening on Friday. I acquired this by other means. Probably from a guy that got the deal, though.
