I guess I could go with the PC7077 which I have seen work with a 120.3 rad - that's only 8cm bigger than my p160. But you know, thinking about all this and realising that my mobile athlon and 6800GT work fine I might not bother this christmas. hmm. the wait bug seems to have set in again especially when 7800gtxes are only 24pixel pipe cards and the x1800xt is so disappointing. :'(
I know i don't particularly want to wait until socket M2. But justifying spending 3500+ on a new system that I don't particularly need is becoming hard. Hrrumph. sorry. Maybe I'll change my mind tomorrow :S
Anyway as far as it stands if I do buy something then it would be the storm sli system here, but with the namesake storm block, a lian-li PC7077 (maybe anodised, maybe not, but definitely modded to make the dual 80mm fans into 1x120mm). of course the pa120.3 rad instead of the he. Those new fast corsair 1GB dimms*2.
What do you guys think of the bayres solutions btw?
Surprisingly, I found something close to what I was looking for here:
http://www.emerz.de/public_html/case/case_pc7077.html
btw, bear with it as the links work, just not the thumbnails.
obviously not with hd cooling and maybe not with the thermotube and definitely not with any lights/flashing things.
I do like the grill on the front - not on the top as it looks too restrictive.
WELL, fookmi:
"AMD Socket M2:
A few sources are telling us that they have the new AMD socket "M2" CPUs up and running in test labs all over the world that hit in the 2.4 to 2.6GHz range. The new socket M2 is a 940-pin CPU that carries with it a new integrated DDR2-667 memory controller. First thoughts are that these CPUs seem to be very solid with their new DDR2 legs. Hopefully we will be able to report back to you on the overclockability of the new memory controllers and CPUs soon.
As it stands now, look for AMD's new socket M2 to make its debut in late January or February."
So either I buy one for christmas and get it in January or wait until feb. *sigh* here we go again.
