I got ze Acöstipack Yltimate. And a couple of the blocks. Lovely stuff. If the foam is too thick and hits your CPU cooler, you can always cut a hole for it in the foam. This stuff doesn't lower the volume a lot but makes the sound smoother and less irritating.

Clean, your setup is. :)

The cooler on that C3D 4870 seems to be a ZEROtherm, not listed on their website however. Looks similar to the Zalman VF/GV1000 apart from the plastic shroud and the fan not being "in" the heatsink.

I prefer normal cables without any fancy gimmickery like sleeves. a few zipties and they practically disappear because they fold a lot better than sleeved cables usually do.

Ah, i can see how that could be a problem. As far as i know it hasn't been discontinued, just "face-lifted" to V3.

I've built a system in an Akasa Mirage 62 and it's a case i would actually buy myself. It's wide, and it can take E-ATX mobos so it's pretty long. Not much, if any, higher than a normal case though. I found it nice to work with, all panels including the top are removable. A pretty good case overall....

So are they going to do this or not? I like how the USB ports and stuff are behind a door and the fact that it supports full ATX, which are my main problems with the Fusion and it's companions. And it's black bits with a silver strip would blend in really well with my amp. Now ditch the volume knob ...

Years ago i was out alpine skiing for half a day in nearly -40c, i stayed reasonably warm as long as i kept moving.. :) So i guess my opinion is that -40c is not cold if you are properly dressed.

It was released 25.4 here, but it's not released outside Finland yet as far as i know. But it should be reasonably soon i would think, Universal is not exactly a small indie label.. availability seems to be poor here too, at least in internet stores.
