Everything looks good except for one thing, the mobo. It's not worth the money at all. By the time you buy the stuff for your rig the IN9 32X-MAX should be out, and that is going to be the end all OC'in board of the year almost guaranteed. I think it's going to be less than the AW9D as well. So keep your eyes peeled, I'm pickin one up the day they're released

Yes the IN 9 32X-MAX very good, do you no its released date FragTek?

Yeah a BFG 8800 GTS, I'am gettig one at 10% discount from Cybermaniac.

Possibly by the end of this month, no later than the end of this year.

Looking very good indeed.. should clock amazingly

Yeah, I just noticed the IN9 MAX yesterday or today on ABIT's website, would be really nice to get one but I gotta save up for a couple DX10 cards and a Vista OS. Darn ATI needs to hurry the **** up so GPU prices can drop a bit:cussing:

TJS

If I can get some bonus $$$ for TDY again, I might pick up an IN9 MAX anyway...

 

[FragTek]

After doing some more research on the IN9, it looks that Abit is intent on releasing it in January *sigh*, bastids!

 

[TJS]

Despite EVGA and others selling 680i mobos, I'll bet $5 that the ABIT IN9 MAX initial shipment sells out in the first week...

Just wish they'd put the darn PCI-E molex power input somewhere other than at the bottom of the mobo. I hated running a line all the way down, looks so damn ugly with wires hanging out.

Had a thought... maybe we should have a contest, see who can come up with the best mobo layout, then submit it to ABIT, ASUS, DFI, MSI, etc. Maybe we'll finally get just what we all really want!

Good idea,

but i think if the overclocking community designed a mobo it wld 1. Be the only design worth making anymore 2. be priced very high

 

[TJS]

lol, "Overclocker community responsible for death of mainboard variations, stuck with one setup." I think I could live with that...:rotfl:

As for the price, I don't think the manufacturers can go any higher without having a massive boycott on their hands... which I will personally lead after buying the latest and greatest.
