well, after a while of posting (wanted them to be semi-legit posts) I've voted you up to 34... unless something drastic happens over the weekend, I think you're gonna get it *fingers crossed*

 

The tech help forum over there is a little... sparse... lol

Thanks; I know what you mean about their tech sections, especially in terms of the H2O arena.

Checked the fit of the SB waterblock

Since there wasn't much clearance for the GFX cards I thought it'd be better to rotate the block by 90deg

but to get the mounting holes to line up I then had to mount the top upside-down as well

Also did a slight mod to the DVD drive to provide me with a rear connector for the elect button and status LED

 

Inside the DVD drive

im hard already :);)

 

ive just orderd a set of the reapers rado, but not the 1150Mhz just the 1066 kits. as what i thought was a broken icfx3200 lol was actually my a-datas that had given out :rolleyes:

 

i went for the 1066 kits as the major price difference from the 1150Mhz kits & that link i posted earlyer on DDR2 said the 1066 kit's will happly o/c.

 

also DDR2's prices are so up & down in the UK, that if i payed £150 for the 9200 kit now, next week they would be back down to £117, which is how much the were a few weeks back. i new i should hav bought sum when they were so cheep.
