Some of you may know that we (Skinnee Labs) are running a GTX480 Round-Up with a planned start for the first week in May. Now I say planned start due to stock availability of both the GTX480 as well as blocks.
This thread will be sort of a catch-all, discussion and feedback type of thing, we'll take a look at each of the blocks as they arrive, installation and a variety of other things I am sure. We'll add links to specific posts in this opening post for ease of finding information as this thread grows.
In short, we're trying something a bit different from our norm, and we'll see how this goes as to whether to incorporate something like this in the future.
