Batman: Midnight's Only Begotten

Those are a regular stock item. It's VERY well made,as well.

Tonight's work...

Setting up spotlighting in the case...

And wiring up the pump switches.

The switches light up in 18w mode. Nifty, no?

I'm modding that same case!

I seldom reveal a hand before it's played, but this score was just too good.

156 shipped w/256MB cache installed. NIB.

I'm sure somewhere Bruce is nodding...

The MSI and I had a disagreement. I said it was a motherboard, it disagreed. It won.

This is a good bit more powerful, as well as being much more robust on support. It also hits the mail tomorrow.

Not to be a fan boy or anything but ASUS rocks and has great support and has always been good to me, that is an awesome board and +rep for an awesome build.

Looks good. I still think you should have picked up a couple more 8346's off eBay and gone quad-socket though.

Going full SSI-CEB would have required a new case. Yes, the boards are available, but it requires some AMAZING tracts of case real estate, as well as custom PSU setups.

I'm not discounting it when I upgrade to Shanghai/Istanbul. I'll have a pair of 8347s, finding a few more should be cheap then.

And yay again for server pulls. 4 36.4GB SAS 10k drives are winging their way to me as well. 4 more and I'll be OK. Then I get to look at STORAGE, not boot.
