So here I am still waiting for this block. Oh man... I wonder how much longer
Hey I feel for you. I couldn't wait either. I sent a personal message to Vincent. He replied back and I ordered the block andd mosfet on Monday. They will arrive here tommorow; UPS. Which is Wednesday. Express shipping was only 45 dollars.
That didn't take long at all.

I'm trying to find them on their site but not having any luck. Found the rotating barbs but that was it.
So how much was the block?

It became "The common news"
I paid 110 for the block. Pricey I know, but I want to wrap up my build.

Well, $110 sounds a little (just a little) more reasonable than $150 for a block.
just heard maximus extreme is going first for asus boards, so we are talking of months before we will see a block for x38 chipset, evryone will have I7 boards then :s
-to big to say it all- i can only use up to 4 lines
So id there anywhere's we can choose for application or is it just an email in thing?
It was a good day for the mail.
I recieved Both the bitspower and the Aqua-Computer Coolers.
Take a look:
I am going to put the Bitspower in my rig. Becasue I have the mosfets that match the Aqua-computer cooler, they are for ASUS.
I have the EVGA 790i FTW PWM. Bitspower sent the mosfet for that.
The aqua cooler is bigger.

Very nice! The AC one is MUCH better looking IMHO

E8400 4.2 // HD 4850 // XFX 780I SLI // 4GB OCZ DDR2 1066 // 2X Raptor 150 RAID-0 // Samsung 1TB //
+1
I don't think the picture does the Bitspower block justice.
The BP is very refined and has a supernice black chrome finsh where the AC is oversized and blocks acces to the PCI-e release tabs.

Powered through the build here are some shots:
First I must say that the AC looks cooler, however, when i tried to blow through each of the coolers (Bitspower ns vs Aqua-computer ns). The bitspower had a large noticible difference in the amount of air I could blow. Now I know that isn't very sceintific, but the difference was significant for me to tell that it was much easier to blow air through the Bitscooler; so I installed that one.
without the EVGA 709i PTW PWM factory cooler.
Started no problem 1st time. It is late night...more later...?

so rich
Do any of the retailers actually have these in stock yet? I just checked performance pcs, sidewinder computers, and petras and none of them have them. Is this still due out "next week"?
In other news I've got my system put together, although it's probably coming apart again in a couple more weeks so I can finish routing the wires and painting the case (and hopefully installing some new chipset blocks if they ever make it to a retailer). Also need to reposition the GTZ as I installed it on its side since I didn't read the instructions prior to clamping it on there.
Curiosity was framed, Ignorance killed the cat.
Do we have any internal shots or can anyone say how the internals of this block are? I've asked a few times, Vincent maybe you can chime in and answer this please.
Aint it always ?
I will be able to provide those soon. Expect a full review and tests (with comparisons to EK) in an upcoming post, I have to get the BP block in my hot little hands first though.
hey R3
are the mosfets for ASUS coming too?
Look whats in stock at sidewinders!

anyone got any pics of the inside yet?
Hey!
I was about to post this!
I was playing around with my PSP and decided to check SW and when I saw BP ASUS Black Freezer, in less than 5 minutes I had my order placed
I hope the eVGA is not really out of stock because that is going to piss many people, or they are probably getting very few and are waiting to put them in stock later on for everybody to have a chance.
EDIT: Bad News (For some)
I just got notified that the eVGA block is Out of stock. They did sell pretty fast. However, I recommend you talk to Sidewindercomputers if you are really interested on getting one. There are more coming between 7-10 days.
