EK-EVGA Classified Full Board Block

[orangekiwii]

except for the acrylic and acetal versions

eddy himself posted there are 3 versions.... each one comes with an optional red acrylic classified logo top.... he REALLY listened to almost every comment in this thread... epic win for EK and eddy

Damn, this makes me wish I had a Classified! It is really nice when manufacturers listen to what the customer wants.

[HESmelaugh]

Wow, even after seeing all the designs beforehand, I was still surprised at how great this block looks. Nickel plated and with a red acrylic bit? This is a sure winner!

[ctsoccer13]

Aww... no black/red version?

Can you post pictures of the other 2 when you get them prototyped?

[PRJ]

Hey Eddy

Here, the first prototype in coper acrylic version.
We will have all blocks nickel plated (sorry, not option for black nickel ATM) and Acrylic or Acetal tops. In each box, there will be Red transparent top Level 2 (classified) enclosed.

Blocks should be available in 7-10 days to purchase.

Superb, just superb Can you please add me to the pre-order list if you are keeping one?

[bentleya]

Fantastic job eddy, i think when this is nickel plated, with acrylic top and no red acrylic bridge.

[PRJ]

+1 Pre-order Black Acetal for me...!

Where do i sign up...?

[snowbank]

Don't listen to me because I'm a noob and am unlikely purchaser (barring a cash windfall)...

I would riff of off the classified theme with something like "covert cooling technology" or "secret cooling weapon". That way you can build on the theme instead of repeating it. Makes it more special. just a thought... block looks great. Anybody want to donate a classified board to me?

[orangekiwii]

I disagree respectfully

design is probably already over you missed your chance :P

anyway I think that would give it a gamer esque kind of theme... which doesn't suit most people or me... thats also a bit too much text and I like simple I actually think he got the right balance between logo-ing and simplicity

Fair enough.

Why don't you want a gamer theme? Why else would you overclock your system?

[dejanh]

Hahaha, you are new aren't you? You overclock for the sheer thrill of trying to push your system to the max

Anyway, back on the topic of the block now...

[snowbank]

I don't see how "covert cooling technology" would be more "gamey" than classified already is. Seems to fit "pushing the system" just as well.

That said, the less text, the more blank the slate is for one's own design. Personally I don't care for the x58 text. I'd prefer a graphic related to the spy/covert theme. Maybe something related to liquid cooling. Even Featuring the NF200 chip would be better for me. I just offer this as food for thought on the next product.

You know what I would prefer???

If I could find one in my X-mass stalking on the 29th of May (err whatever month this happens to be)!

Perhaps you'd go for a Spy vs Spy motif? One Spy on the MOSFET looking down at the other Spy on the SB who's looking up (at the first Spy) and a bomb on the NB.

[orangekiwii]

you could have a heavy on one of the other water blocks in the computer... and a sniper on the side of a radiator scoping in on the heavy...

possibilities are ENDLESS WOO

[mele]

VERY VERY VERy Nice!
Makes me want to order a classified now?

[ctsoccer13]

How's production going? Any word on the block?

[nirvana_1911]

Eddy from EK is at Computech at the moment I think.
I emailed him just before he left, nothing has changed in regards to the EK Classified waterblock since Eddy's last post in this thread.

[masska]
