Looks nice but pricey

Heatspreader design looks pretty funky to me

Yeah I like the heatspreaders on these. The black pcbs are just cool.

I had a quick look for the ICs (I'm bored ok) and found that the number 7ED22 is found on D9GMH chips. Not sure if that's 100% accurate though.

Oh and just one annoyance;

Back in November 2006 we was fortunate enough

Sounds about right. They did act and perform like D9, but without the markings I didn't want to speculate.

Good spot on that mistake. Changed
