    Mapex puts out good stuff. Had a hat pedal I'd die to get back. Swivel footboard. swing it to the right to engage Kick pedal for Dbl bass fun on single drum :( I miss her! Love the cymbals too. I'm on a Tama kit now w/ A. custom Zs. Was that a Strat in your shot? Also, your hiding something in the background :D

    I'll try and find the CD of the band playing at the Montreux Jazz Festival :)

    Thanks Bill!

    That pedal sounds sooo much fun :D Yeah it is a 1983 Japanese blue sunburst strat:

    Sweet! Nice finish on that strat. Five string bass, a bonus! Looks like you take good care them. Look forward to you next update.

    Update #18 - 23/07/2010

    [​IMG]

    I spy with my little eye...


    a table!

    Ehm i mean a box with MSI on it.

    [​IMG]

    More table! Oh wait, Big Bang Xpower!

    [​IMG]

    Inside the packaging are two boxes - one with the board in and one with accessories.

    [​IMG]

    I can't fault them for the sheer amount of accesories you get!

    - X-Fi Quantum Wave Sound card
    - MSI OC Dashboard (overclocking display)
    - 2x Xfire bridges, 2x SLI bridges
    - Plethora of SATA data/power cables
    - A load of USB and eSata backplanes
    - Several massive manuals

    [​IMG]

    Here is the sound card Not sure whether to leave it or powdercoat it white.

    [​IMG]

    One of the best bits about this board is the black nickel 1366 socket!

    [​IMG]

    Yes, you counted 6 pci-e x16 slots.

    [​IMG]

    Glad to see they made the SB heatsink bigger - on the pre-release design they had a much smaller one.

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    Another pretty cool feature - EZ DIMMS. There are only clips on one side of the DIMM slots, making it easier and quicker to put them in.

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    This is the OC Genie button - will have to see how this performs. Most reviews have said it is very good.

    Doctor Doctor...

    [​IMG]

    As I was playing with the motherboard, DHL turned up with something from China. I wasn't expecting this for quite a while!

    [​IMG]

    V1 had viewing issues with the LCD screen, V2 has these fixed.

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    They also sent me a load of switches for lighting control.

    [​IMG]

    Hellz yeah! Not bad CAD on my behalf, drawing it perfect without having the thing in front of me!

    Since when was that in there!

    Thanks Waynio :) Yeah tbh a p45 quad would still serve me well however opportunities come up to upgrade, so one must take them!
