Hum, just thought of something.  During WWII there was a Marine Fighter Squadron called "The Black Sheep".  The Squardron actually still exists today.  Here is a link to the Wiki page about them: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VMA-214

That reminds me of that old nursery rhyme:

Black sheep,
Black sheep,
Have you any wool...
No, but I've got an overclocked 3960X and tri-SLI 680's.

Lol sweet.

About the Black Sheep Project:

The Black Sheep is often referenced as the outcast of a family or someone looked down on.  Ninjas are commonly associated with black - so I thought black sheep... ninjas.. it must work!

My birth sign is the sign of the sheep.  I'm the outcast of my family.  The computer will not look exactly like its Aventum brothers.

Hence - the black sheep was born.

The Black Sheep entered Stage 5 today.  Yes, that is approximately 1 month after stage 4.  This should tell you the insane attention to detail Digital Storm is paying to this project.

It is going to me amazing.

So what your really saying is your going to be the big shot around here in the Aventum class of 2012. Hmmm maybe I need to send my back for some updates. Wink

The first thing that popped into my head when you said Black Sheep was Black Sheep Squadron the TV series from 1976-'78 starring Robert Conrad. Yes I'm dating myself a little I was just a kid then but it was a cool show.

Not at all - I actually think yours is better.  I'm really happy I ran into Digital Storm.
I could not have asked for a better company.

This has been something I wanted to do for a long time.

Also just for you:

@Alex - Sir, I saw pictures of "The Black Sheep" today.

I do not generally smile and I am smiling right now.

It. Looks. Fantastic.  It is beyond what I've asked for.

Wow that looks great! Love the white with blue theme. Makes mine look a little generic to be honest I never thought about them doing color since it wasn't a option. I see that if you want it they could probably fullfill the order. I actually would have liked an orange powder coat with perhaps black detail. Maybe will do it another time. Can't wait to see more pics and details.

I can confirm that it's a ridiculously monster sized chassis. You have been warned xii. Big%20Smile

Make sure you are home to receive and coach the delivery driver on being extra careful when pulling the crate out of the truck. The guy that delivered mine had rolled the crate out the back of the truck end over end and then let it drop quite hard out the back onto the pavement. I think that is when perhaps my video cards were damaged. These delivery companies show no mercy on caring for packages and it's a shame.
