Needless to say my wife thinks i am insane, But 11k is less than 1 months income for me. You can't take it with you, so enjoy it now. Right? Basicly i am posting here to ask the community if any of these parts are incompatible or less than top of the line, as i still have unopened boxes i could exchange anything i needed to at this point.

The water conectors come out of the top side of the cards and are about 1 inch above them. all other cards should fit under the water tubing.

You're right, I missed that.

Get a Pioneer BluRay drive. It is a much better drive. Burning a few 25G coasters will make you wish you bought one.

[onefearlesssniper]

that's right, my fault. 8gb will be fine then, if you want go 16

 

[ScrewySqrl]

well you could do 12 in the form of 4 GB (2x2gb) + 8 GB (2x4gb). But at this price point, why?

there've been two of these crazy posts. This and the guy who wanted a $9000 PC for his high school graduation money.

I think *everyone* told him to buy a nice used car.

I also told him to buy a used car lol 😛 That was one crazy person heh
