I've seen windows XP loading at 6+G on an E8600 and Rampage Extreme with a SSD and windows loading time was stunning, if i had to estimate i would say less than 10 seconds, maybe about 7-8secs.

Regarding the tubing, i've got black myself now but i really like the black/red theme you see used a lot lately. I think i'm gonna switch over to Primochill red 3/8 tubing. Not much of a fan of white tubing personally.

Red tubing matches the red of the CIVF and the red of the Dominators, so it has to look great imo.
