| What have you heard about the MSI Denty? I saw some reports that with early bioses it was finicky with memory. It has the best slot config of any x58 board - the only one that leaves a PCI and a PCI-E x1 or x4 available if running dual video cards. I assume on the EVGA X58 Class that you could run a... |

Has anyone seen a comparison or have knowledge of whether there is a benefit to say running dual 275's in SLI vs a dual GPU 295 in a single slot?
Is the 295 constrained by the bandwith of a single PCI-Ex16 slot?
Is cost the only consideration? |

Are you painting the insides black? I'd like to see a picture of that when you get it done. Been thinking of doing the same before I build.
Are you throwing a primer on it first, or just spraying over the current finish? |

| Thanks for the info Tops. Good to know there wasn't a problem getting the cables to reach. I definitely want to rout all the cables behind the mobo tray to keep the install looking clean. |

Hey all. I'm considering a HAF case for my new build. Wondering if anyone has one and has had any issues with PSU cord lengths.
I want to install the PSU in the bottom of the case. |

The Intel side of the tracks is new territory for me, last 3 builds have been Athlons, but my X2 4800 is beginning to feel old. Any suggestions on a s... |
