MIPS blocks now sold in the US, selection is a bit limited though.

Hopefully they are able to get a few more in. At least they have the ram coolers which it seems are the most wanted. :)

Good to see the US getting some fine MIPS blocks as well. But the prices, holy :banana:!

If the Rampage block is the same as the one that's center front page on MIPS site then the markup isn't bad. XE reports that the 139.90 Euro's it would cost someone in one of those countries converts to $193.45 US, toss in import fees and FCPU isn't making a whole lot on these, more like selling for cost.

Yeah I wonder, too. You guys in the EU get all the good Mushkin sticks (Copperhead) while we're left with a pile of Blacklines! I'm getting a set of Redline, I'm curious if it'll fit.

Just to let ppl know, the list of MoBo blocks has gotten longer (click on link in OP). ;)

Ha ... my travel schedule this past year has most likely had a negative impact on the revenues of the water cooling suppliers ;) Just a few weeks left before I get serious again.

I bought the POM nickle ramblock a month ago from them and had it shipped here. I must say they were great to work with and the product is damn near perfect. I don't have much airflow in the top of my case and the ram was too hot to touch. This solved the problem and added to the overkill nature of my build :)

I have read that a lot of people think that the ram doesn't get hot.
It does. Reason why I made my own ramblock. it doesn't need much flow to keep it cool...
however I have no airflow in my case... and my internal case temp never goes above 32 deg.

Depends of RAM. I've had RAM that gets too hot to touch while my current RAM just feels a bit warm.

Ahh man, when I saw the thread title I thought R3's account got reinstated. :p: I guess I'll just be happy to buy MIPS stateside now.

I so want the Classy motherboard blocks, but at $200...
I think both of my 480 blocks from Germany were only $220 shipped.
