Just because things have been announced does not mean they are available. anyways waiting on details of availability of parts I have requested.

The Classified MOBO is out for purchase, I own #69 (Limited Addition)

DST my buddy there is always going to be better stuff out. i want you to buy a new rig by this summer! I mean it!

Just so long as you press buy before summer starts.

the classified is not even in yet.

You got to love how my fans keep up with me

Originally posted by Zardoz8719 Having w-a-i-t-e-d for one thing or another since last Summer...I'm hardly in a position to say--buy (whatever it is) now...cuz there is always something new/bigger/better/cheaper etc...on the horizon.   Case in point...Intel has indicated that the introduction of 32 nm processor will happen faster than initially planned.  "We have pulled in Westmere, our first 32-nanometer product family, and will now be shipping those products later this year".  Apparently "thousands of Westmere samples" have already been delivered to more than 30 OEMs.  Also, Intel's discrete graphics chip, Larrabee, is available as silicon and is in "debug now".  I would expect volume introduction of this product to be early next year". (article: TG Daily, by Wolfgang Gruener, Apr 17, 2009).   I sympathize with you...waiting for just the right mix of parts for your dream machine seems like the only thing to do.  Yet, lately, I begin questioning myself...just what is it I'm really trying to achieve...  If it's frame rates above "60" with all the eye-candy turned on--that's achievable now.  If it's having the latest/greatest...or simply "bragging rights"...both are sooo fleeting/momentary are they logical/constructive?  Having said all that...I'm (still) waiting for OCZ Vertex 2, Windows 7, New Office program, rcb400 cooling...and didn't Alex mention something about a DS Edition HAF case--SOON...ha, ha??   ...sometimes it's the "wanting" not necessarily the "getting" that is the more delicious...  And, look how much money we've saved by thinking/looking...and not (yet) purchasing!       Not that you might need (another) reason....  Get ready for another co-processor: further details on Caustic Graphics's RTPU.  The company's tech will rely on a new graphics co-processor called the Ray Tracing Processing Unit (RTPU), working in concert with existing 3-D accelerators to deliver rays at frame rates high enough for interactive applications.  How high?  Early hardware dubbed CausticOne manages 3-5 frames-per-second...  That's not nearly enough for twitchy first-person shooters, but second-gen hardware due next year is looking to deliver 14 times that--plenty to get you high-reflectivity frag on."

that DS haf is going to be really nice .

The engineering chips are always different then the actual chip, you never know, if we all agree that all chips OC differently then surely we can't come to any conclusions based on one chip, but looking forward to the results of your other tests, but I prefer the actual retail/oem version instead of the engineering sample.

I don't know, just my 2 cents.

Thats a shame, I hope the retail version clocks better then, I mean the lower heat is good but OC matters also.

so if you guys have them now then the release date must be close, do you know then the release date is?

Originally posted by venom Just a bit of info you all might be interested in if you are waiting for the i7 975. Me and Duke have been overclocking this thing for a week now, and so far could not even get 4.4GHz stable.  4.2GHz was the highest. So in terms of overclocking (atleast on this chip, going to try another soon), there isn't any improvement. However, temps are insanely low!  We gave the chip 1.7v on the Vcore, if I remember right the max temp was 96*C on the hottest core running LinPack for approx ~3min. Personally I would consider this chip, just like the 965, a huge waste of money unless you get a golden one, which is very damn rare. Edit: I will also make a thread.

DST4ME, Stop waiting for the "Vertex 2", this is ready now. http://www.frozencpu.com/products/9008/hdd-ocz-09/OCZ_Z-Drive_PCI_Express_Solid_State_Drive_Card_-_500GB_-_OCZSSDPCIE-1ZDRV500G.html

Ya I saw that already, not sure how a PCI card would do tho between 3 x 295 with heat and the price is just too high, if i want to spend that much I I will get a fusion io which is faster then that OCZ.

ON a side note, don't ever buy from frozencpu, last time was the last time I shop there, what a bunch of mfrs, I buy stuff form them and pay more for faster shipping then for example I get my fans and say 3 out of 7 is not working, since its frozencpu, you the customer have to pay for shipping back to frozencpu, who the hell makes you pay for stuff that does not work out of the box, I will never buy form frozencpu again, I'm tired of wasting the money I pay for faster shipping at the time of the order only to have to pay for shipping back to frozencpu also cause the stuff is not working out of the box, so I/you/we wasted our money on the original faster shipping then when we get the faulty product we have to pay more for shipping back to stupid frozencpu.

thanks for wasting over $50 in shipping almost every-time I order frozencpu

that like DS saying hey if your receive your PC and it does not work out of the box then you pay shipping to ship the PC back to us

those we have had for a long time, I got so many smilies I don't know what to do with stick and bare butt is an old time favorite
