New i7 rig....

[Mullet]

Well, after reading the usual high quality reviews on here :yumyum: I've settled on some new bits for my mATX mini-P180 based rig.

Bits arriving tomorrow:

Asus Rampage GENE II (nice one on the review Webbo!!)

Core i7 920 DO stepping CPU

Thermalright TRUE120 (hope it fits!!)

Already have the Patriot Viper RAM (also reviewed on here) so watch this space for pics of the new build...

Did a quick google on the TRUE and P180 and some feedback was there, that suggested u should be ok.

This gonna be very much a bluey interior ?

I have seen posts on a few forums where users are using the same setup.... so, it should in theory fit.... but, as we know...theory and reality can be poles apart!! Thanks for checkin tho Rast.... appreciate the support!!:wavey:

I love the contrast between the beefy cooler and small(ish) case....

Looks like it's gonna be a powerful little rig.
