    I'm thinking for the real hard core modders, they could get it anodized... and the aluminum will also be really easy to paint!

    I suppose it depends on the anodizing, whether you all use a type I or II, bright dip, etc...hmmmm /me thinks of another product :D

    hmmm... well... I think I might have to get some for us :) why did you choose to use the big header instead of use the 5 pins from the alternate header?

    I figure it will be much much cheaper to produce... I have been thinking of how to make the cable my self and came up with a 5 pin one side header and then 4 pins that are split so you can connect them individualy to the mobo... and maybe even have the big one keys so that cannot be reversed... (we could do that and problably might)

    I hope you mean Ark as in Ark of the Covenant, cause that other one was Noah.

    You could send me one of those cables and I'd take back that bozo comment...

    Well, pretty much any modern mainboard out there follows the Red-White-Green-Black sequence of the USB spec so, I figured as long as they know where Pin 1 is then they can match that up to the Red wire. If you use 4 individual wires (the 5th ground is unnecessary) then you may have more mistakes made by users when attaching.

    That was my though anyways as this cable is easy to put on and take off. 4 wires is more of a problem IMO.

    ...Oh, yes, I'm Hank BTW, the President of Performance PC's :)

    The new Matrix Orbitals are gorgeous!

    Thanks linear....heard so much about you! ....and not all was bad:hehe:

    Thanks for your greets too Henry (that is actually my name too ;))

    Oh, and I agree with the interest for the Black Brushed Aluminum Fronts. That should be priority numero uno as they would sell like crazy!

    IMO ;)
