Theres me getting excited about you building and actual CPU! Not just the actual pc base unit. I think one of the first questions to ask you would be. What exactly are you going to use this pc for? You mentioned gaming, is it soley a gaming pc? Or will you have any other specific needs which...

Dear God! I read through this forum a lot, reviews, tips/ tricks etc. And I definitely agree with the point made earlier that people get so fanboy'd up about things. From what I can see many people stick their nose in and argue about things that they know nothing about. Other than the fact...

For me its the comfort of it, and its solid build quality feel. The adjustable weight for me is probably a little bit of a gimmick, but i can see that adapting the weight could stop you from twitching too much when your trying to aim... I dont use the adjustable sensitivity, i have got it on...

I must admit im very impressed with the custom nature of it all. They do look sweet all lit up like a christmas tree. Dont you jus think they are a bit too big? My thermaltake armour case gives me a hernia every time i try to move it :)

Im really looking forward to be benches, Ive always been a ATI fan back to the days of my rage 128. THing is AMD/ATI are up and down more than a hookers pants. It would be nice to see them stay at the top for a while. GO UNDERDOG GOOOO!!!!

I was saying this on another forum to some mates, and they were not convinced. Personally im always for the underdog, because even the big boys have to worry about them some day. If they can pick up some momentum as mentioned, then they will perhaps have some good performance cards for us games...

Just stick a bloody hoover nozzle against them, sorted! Thats what I do with mine. Personally the fan filters are a god send in my opinion, the cpu, gpu, NB , PSU fans hardly ever need cleaning.

Maybe they will end up selling 7,6,5,4,3 cores :D

What games have you tested it on?

I would be very interested to see this build documented dude :D If your going to do this then good luck dude! Looks like one heck of a project!!

Exactly what i have done to my gigabyte :D well with a 60mm fan

If its on auto the BIOS might have volted it up to a level that it thinks is ok, but perhaps operating a little too hot ( I cant tell without a temp reading :) ). It might be worth you trying to lower the voltage if you think its operating too hot, or if its all working ok, perhaps buying a fan...

Fair play that case looks very sweet! I dont like all this over the top wings and holes that look like jet engine cases. KISS (keep it simple stupid) thats what i think

I have a Thermalake Armour, brilliant case, heavy.... but brilliant. Its shown in the cable management thread if you want to see the inside of it. Bundles of space for everything

+1 here also. The cable management sells it for me, getting those cables out the way is part of a good cooling solution. Plus i think the case looks slick, subtle but slick
