it means electricity fried your old stuff & he's agreeing with your reason for buying new stuff

 

Si, senor. Sweet build, BTW. Especially like the Raven.

Sorry it's taking such a long time for some updates. Newegg screwed up on an order I made for a XFX 5870 and I'm awaiting an exchange that I will receive next week. And guess what? DangerDen decided to sponsor me for a waterblock they make for the 5870 called the Summit block. Their also giving me a fillport reservoir and a rad reservoir that attaches to any radiator on the market. Even though I ordered the EK Supreme-HF waterblock from sidewindercomputers, DangerDen also decided to send me their MC-TDX block too. I will show you guys some benching results against the EK Supreme-HF and TDX waterblock. Plus I'm awaiting an order from sidewindercomputers for a whole bunch of watercooling stuff, cable sleeving and other things I've ordered. Then I have another order coming in from performance-pcs.com. I think I order some pre-sleeved Scythe fans and cable management stuff off them.

 

 

Basically I ordered so many things and getting so many things that I had to make a list to keep track of everything so that I make sure I have gotten it all.

Sweet on the Summit deal - looking forward to hearing about it.

And finally on to the main attraction :

 

 

EK really packaged this waterblock nice compared to the HeatKiller's suck azz packaging:

 

 

 

Always make sure the seal is not broken :

 

 

It's official I just wet my pants :

 

 

Time to check the contact surface:

 

 

Wow:

 

 

 

I wanted to try out my Bitspower fittings and I must say this does look badazz:

 

 

 

 

 

Here is the jet plates (As you can see they give you a blank one to make your own jet plate with a dremel or drill:

 

 

 

As you can probably tell I'm going for a black look badazz theme . I'm still waiting on more watercooling stuff like my 5870 waterblock and more fittings and alot more other stuff. Plus Newegg just shipped out my XFX 5870 too!! I did receive my black cable sleeving already but my camera battery died, so I will try to get pictures up of that tonight if I can hehe.
