I've only had the BFG which is my current one. Although to me Corsair is #1 in modular though.

corsair an bfg are also very nice.

but i think that corsair might be a bit overrated, i know of other psu's that have better specs for less money

well, imma hed of to the bed, sooooooooooooo tired now, almost sleeping here while i'm writing

but its been a decent day , got the i7, got it up and running smooth, oc'ed it without ANY problems, and now its crunching away

Love the colour coordination going on.


Not a fan of the psu cables though, prefer mine bunched super tight! blocks less air.

Don't you love those things? I have one that still needs to be added to my MM case. But, I bet you haven't modded yours like I have.


Wow, haven't said that in a LONG time.

Replaced my Gigabyte X58 UD4P with the X 58 Extreme:





The Fenrir does a pretty good job keeping the i7 cool:


I am waiting for a new backplate for the Apogee GTZ. Then I will see about figuring out (never used splitters before) how to water cool the nb with the supplied 3/8" nozzles as I use 1/2".
This board requires a higher VCore to run stable. My ASUS and EVGA boards run at 1.26 to 1.28.

Gotta love the hot swap bay of the Obsidian 800d. Ready to go with no adapters, just 300MB/s read/writes

Some fun numbers:



Compared to two 320GB WD AAks in Raid0:



And just for fun, one single Nova 128GB:




Oh, may have an opportunity to test these on a Sata 3 board in the up coming weeks. Anyone with ideas on how to show the benifits of Sata 3 over Sata 2(aside from mech vs ssd) please let me know.

Anyone else seen this? This is the one I have been waiting for... http://tv.hexus.net/show/2010/03/CeB...lverstone_SG07

Plans are to use a i5 670 @ 4.8GHz and a 5870 for a 24/7/gaming rig. Here it is after a short game session of FEAR. (Using a Boreas atm for cooling)
