    From what I read he wanted to have at least 20 people signed up to buy these before he would manufacture them. I dont know if that figure was reached or not.

    I'd buy one for my P5WDG2-WS Pro board if he makes a separate block for each set of MOSFETS...

    I believe his plan was to make the blocks for Commando/Striker boards all along. His response regarding 20 people was a reply to my request for the EVGA 680i being supported.

    Maybe mine was the only request for the EVGA board but I'd sure like to see him come out with the ASUS blocks so I can start bugging him about the EVGA ones.

    Eddy,
    Any chance of you making some beefy taller copper heatsinks for mosfets for the PWM? Like the digital PWMs on the Abit Quad GT that I epoxy onto the chips? I think that will be even more useful for a majority of the people that doesn't want to watercool their mosfets or stuff like that. I find most of the PWM sinks are lacking in robustness since those little chips put out more heat than some ram chips.

    Is there anyway to switch that southbridge block to have the inlet/outlet near the right side instead of the top? Or does the inlet/outlet already clear the dual slot vid cards like the 8800 series? Or would the outlets still interfere in that position as well?
