    don't underestimate OCAU folks and their potential, quite a few noob/beginners started out on i4memory team and with all they learnt and soaked up the info/tip juices, they're now good enough to hang with the power high end oc'ers :)



    Yeah had that happen to an order i made before Xmas - took me 3 days to find out the i was missing something - luckily the retailer understood :)

    Hi Hooti,

    Enjoy I did. Wow...awesome rig. Heaps of fun there!

    I'll be going for a similar MB, CPU, HSF with 6GB's 1333Mhz RAM rather than 3GB's of 1600Mhz RAM, but won't push for the lofty heights of 4Ghz...a measly 3.4 or 3.6 will be sufficient for me...:)

    One question...

    is it loud? That's a lot of fans!

    Only 10.

    I like the racks, 5-in-3 is pretty good but they must be expensive.
