Love it..
and I hope your right on the pricing

So you prob. have about 100k$ worth of machines there, how you manage to pay those machines.

I only have 2 dual-cpu Xeon X5680 servers, 2 older amd systems, i7 980x system, Xeon X5680 gaming machine and phenom 2 1090 machine and htpc.

Anyway impressive criminal, good chip, my i7 980x is crap, 4.5gh linx stable air and 4.8ghz max without load.
