Someone tell me what the point of putting 8000UL in an Intel SLI rig since the NF4 SLI Intel Edn doesnt OC more than 1200FSB on a good day, so you're gonna be using a 3.33/4x multi which is a sheer pointless waste of manwidth since it's never gonna be used.

I think it's called money to burn. But hey I don't know much about Inte Ocing so I really can't comment much more on that.

Here is some linkage to the work log at pimprig.com...

Reminds me a lot of the Sapphire case except with Different handles and a little sail on the side.

Let's say... he just got inspired by that, huh?

But, in fact, it's damn nice and I wouldn't care about whether my ram is fully used or not if I had a chance to put my arms 'round that rig and run.

I like some of the additions to the case...the fangrills are a nice touch, if a little non-functional. I did look at that, though, and say "Hey, Sheldog did another one...oh wait, that's for...pimprig..."

Not exactly a copy, but definitely an "inspired by..."

Inspired by or just "Great minds think alike". I am glad that Corsair decided to get a modder to make a nice custom case for them. It only Inspires other companies to have modders make them cool cases to stand out in the crowd and show off their products. Whats not to like about that?

Great job and heres to more mods. Cheers.

Well seeing as it's to show off Corsair's latest and greatest...

Remember, Intel hardly has the best gaming performance on the block, but people have still bought intel SLI mobos.

The mod appears nicely done, although not my style at all.
