The Classified is a EATX board btw, so its like double the JR size your used to evil. :rofl:

as for onboard raid, im on it right now.

Its not bad.

hmm ill give the classified some thought, how much longer till you get yours?
yea seriously probably 3x bigger then JR... :rolleyes: which means i need a bigger case..

is the other system i7?

My friend just bought the Asus II Gene today from Newegg, I'll have him throw up some pics and his thoughts on the board when it arrives.

And as always Naekuh, that's one hell of a build...

im not a big fan of matx boards.

On most occasions they lack the power regulation ATX boards have. :\

However my HTPC (Kagami) is a MATX off the nforce 9300 platform.

Absolute rocks btw :D

Yes i can mount a rad on the side externally and feed the tubing internally, no i havent considered it since the E7500 it uses i didn't oc, instead its uber downvolted.
She doesnt make any noise, except a slight tick once in a while on the HD. (she has a raptor) :\

Thats my pure HTPC, has network drives connected to Sammy, who has 8 drives on it, and i stream my content over a 1gb network.

Classified probably coming my way. First week of April, hopefully.

I hear that the Classified uses double 8 pin ATX.

Should I trust OCZ Vertex? I know Anand thinks well of them, but I'm still skeptical, especially after the Intel X25-M fiasco. Give me SLC Intel X-25-E or Samsung anyday. Somehow, MLC random writes still look pathetically slow.

Meh i hype about it more, and you guys end up getting it b4 me.

Wheres the justice in that? :rofl:

Ok i dont like the name Tomoyo anymore... i think im going back to either Skuld, or Ryoko.
Im more leaning on Skuld as i want to get back in the goddess name themes.

I had always planned on it .. as far back as two months ago.. when the first pics were released on Vr-Zone. I'm going one step better than the 9800GT.. no way am I buying that. I'll one-up that guy, in my own way, on my own time, on my own terms.

What is it with all those Japanese names ? Its the last thing I would associate my favorite possessions with.

Any clue on how long it will take for you to be 1st?

wishful thinking is about 2 weeks.

That is why I dislike the EVGA upgrade program. BFG ships out upgrades on the same day. I mailed out a video card and received a new video card within the same seven-day week.

I'm telling, EVGA isn't what its hyped out to be.

NaeKuh, now you know I'd be rockin the WC on that setup. :ROTF: Thinking on going smaller than mATX myself lately. Problem is, I still haven't touched my P45 JR board yet and that's still several builds away. http://smilies.vidahost.com/ups/archinto/smile2.gif

About X58 RAID apparently you are stuck with a 128 Stripe...not that big a deal...but if you are into optimizing for SSDs or whatever it might be a slight hinderance.

I like the DFI X58...not into top end stuff ATM.

It looks like Dave is trying to lose the slow race...then again he collapsed from exhaustion from circling the front yard waiting for FedEx so who knows...

CyberDruid,

What is your opinion on the OCZ Vertex?

Next Step: Waiting In Queue: #95

i may get another eVGA X58 when i step up (so i dont need to redue my entire OS), and then return it when i get my stepup. <3 Frys.

Havent decided yet, but theres also a few things like SSD's i want to pick up when i return that board, so im really debating on it.

aHHHHHH IANY i havent gotten over your SSD fever yet.

Fittings Fittings and more Fittings.. :rofl:

thought i should share this with you guys, im not a neat person like DB and Mcoffey in keeping my fittings organized.

Its not all pretty, but the quantity i have would most definitely rival DB and Mcoffey:

1 of 3 boxes i have that look like this:
http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p...a/IMG_1327.jpg

When i empty this one out, this one has my newest fittings thats why, it looks like this:
http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p...a/IMG_1328.jpg

Someone wanna try to declare value? that koolance package alone is probably 30-40 dollars + in fittings alone, lets not get into the bitspower pack,

:rofl:

And to what purpose do all the fancy twisty shiny ball fittings serve? El cheapo plastic barbs (if installed properly and not leaking) attain the same exact cooling results.

Yet, I am questioned why I go crazy with the underlying computer hardware?

Regarding SSDs, I'm not convinced yet. My heart is still with SAS cheetahs.

Dave?, you might want to look at NeaKuh's IP addy, I think you'll find it matches someone else who has already been banned. :p: :rofl:

just kidding. ;) or am I?

QFT...mostly. I can see replacing all the barbs with metal ones, they're more durable than plastic and much better to use with worm-drive clamps. I replaced all my barbs with Bitspower's regular $2.50 ones and I thought that was expensive, but that's hopefully a purchase I won't have to make again since the barbs should last a while.

Soon, he'll be using fittings to spell his nickname, reserving the Koolance ones for the capital letters only. The tips of the "N" will be spelt with double rotary 45 degree fittings.

And then he'll recycle the same fittings to make up monikers like FTW and WIN.

And then take two years to plan five computers, and not complete building a single computer. Then engage in a lively discussion of what constitutes top water cooling, when he hasn't bled a loop before, ever.

Liking every bit of it so far!

If you don't mind me asking, how the hell do you use zip ties to attach the fas to the rads?
