Alright here is why I am already staying out of such topics about Windows 8. Like the 2 topics that are in the Windows area that have several comments to date but few from me.

While I chose to make myself an external loop, this kit can easily be installed inside most cases for a more visually appealing result. In the end it's the actual performance that counts, read more here.
