cool, i'll go ahead and grab em then. Is there a good brand i should be looking for? I havent bought ati since my radeon 300x lol.

Got the cooling did you? what did you go for liquid? i wen't with distilled/dye and coolant and the dye is def a bad idea. I just took apart my cpu block the other day and the gunk was sick. I can see it in the water too. Now I gotta go through the whole rad cleaning process gain -.-. Red UV dye doesnt work for crap anyway. At least not when you add coolant with it.

I like the options on it. the ONLY thing that bugs the heck out of me is how gigabyte does voltages. everything but the core voltage is set as + 0.05 or +0.15 etc. you can't actually see what voltages its set at. Other then that it's the best mobo i've ever owned.

just ordered 2 diamond 4870's (best lookin ones imo) and a corsair 750tx. Only thing I'm bummed about is no modular anymore :S. I also woulda liked a cool lookin PSU for a change but I didn't see any that were still good. Meh reliability > looks.
Had to order from ncix. wont be in stock till around the 30th, but tigerdirect didn't have them either (canada). And tiger was 50$ more expensive for the same card lol. booo.

Seems i still have lots of waiting but this investment makes me feel a lot better than the gtx280 >.> I just pray the crossfire drivers work half decent.

edit~ i'mm look at some cooling info on that fesser one stuff but I might grab the orange :S nothings ever available in red yeesh.

that'd be a mean setup. >.> you really like #1 huh? haha. I might have to let you have it. Or maybe i should go gamble and try to win some moneys haha.

Ever look at these things? Reservoir and Pump, RP-1000BK i'm running too low on room to put another pump and reservoir internal for the vid cards, and I can't mount them on the back because the rad's gonna have to be external.

unless i buy a new case. not much space in my bedroom though lmao.
maybe i should pm aspire. I can't really see the pump in that thing being powerful at all.

it's pretty sad when you run out of room in a full-tower case >.> i need like a server tower or something lol
