On a totally unrelated note (and much to Jacob's disappointment, lol) I am SOOOO excited that Logitech just released a new trackman mouse with a BLUE BALL. I've been a 100% devoted trackman user for almost a decade... and I would sex the designer of this if he'd fit through my ethernet cable. XD

I completely fear a woman that gets this fired up over blue balls. srsly.

that is NOT too expensive imo

it does take some time, and the cost of good sleeving aswell.

And in my instance, something nobody offers retail

See I was considering doing it myself .... considering I have the tools and connectors already... I just need the sleeving. But While I am very anal with how my cabling looks and is hidden.... I am very lazy for some reason when it comes to cable sleeving myself?

I don't know what it is.... but when I tried to do it myself before... I just stopped half way through the first connector and put it back together and said screw this LOL.

As far as the price concern goes.... no I am not getting the NZXT version becaus of pricing.... but more because I can get them from a Etailor I trust.

Although if there is a guy out there that Sneeky Peet trusts maybe I will look in to him.

Some nice red and black every other cable color scehme would look good don't you think? Or would you go black and blue? Or would you go just black??? ahhhhhh....... to my choices need help!!!!! over load.... danger Will Robinson danger :p

seriously the guy is top notch. We sent a few PMs back and forth to get the idea straight. After I sent him payment and awaited an image of my choices of blue, it was less than a week to get the sexy finished product.

i would def go black and blue, as that is the theme on your rig, black is just boring, and for that you might as well get the nzxt cables :)

think next month i will order some different color sleeving and play with some extensions.

Awesome man when I get the loot in a couple of weeks I will look him up for sure (Saving for the new Gen of cards only got a couple weeks left till I hit my goal :) )
Then for sure I will hit him up ASAP thanks a million for the tip.

Yeah I was thinking about the black and blue myself. But because my case had red highlights too I wasn't sure. Also I switch my video cards a lot.... I tend to lean towards the red team more. But even so.... the black and blue cables would still go well even if I had the new 6000 series in my case because of all the blue lights.

Thanks for your opinions bud.

Guys, I start work next week, I've a hankering to upgrade my rig with my second pay check.

I think I've squeezed about as much as I can from current system specs. So will likely be going with all new kit :p

Budget will be around £650 money from my paycheck, and the money I'd get from selling my system. On ebay, not here ( unless someone wants something especially) for maximum money, I think I could get £500 or so still from ebay.

So!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Suggestions?

:D

At the moment I'm tempted to wait for bull-dozer, or at-least until I find out what socket it will be for certain.

Yeah + 1 quarter, don't forget that :laugh:

Since I imagine after-market mosfet cooling won't be availible for the board I get next, I'll be having a spare swiftech copper NB air cooler. If anyone fancies that down the line.

Normally they cost a crap ton!

how good I look depends on your personal preference. Ohio isn't too far away is it?
