One major point to watch with this one for anyone still on the RC is that the TWO hour shut-downs ....

WILL NOT SAVE ANY OPEN FILES

You have been warned

Sorry to "shout" but this is important

Got my eMail as well, and...

...also have my tracking numbers from Newegg for the parts for a new system. Time to give 7 it's proper (and long-planned) home.

I would PM you the parts list, but your profile isn't set up to accept them. It's gonna be a nice rig.

Edit: Make that a Really nice rig..

Better than mine....boo hoo...??

<checks Ex_Brit's system specs>

Comparable. Though it won't be liquid cooled since I can't be fussed maintaining that. And with an SSD + storage drive instead of a RAID array. Building it myself, rather than purchasing. Took so long assembling the parts list because I was set on an ATI 5970 for a card, but haven't been lucky enough to get one. Knowing the time limit for the RC is up forced doing it now.

Getting a little side tracked from the thread's purpose, I think.

Sounds good. When I got mine the first thing I did was disable RAID and reinstall the system.

The liquid cooling on mine is, according to what I read, permanently sealed and should, hopefully, never need maintenance. It's the one on the left here: http://www.asetek.com - OEM Products except it's single CPU of course.

I got one of those systems, from Corsair though.

Well mine came from Alienware...same difference!!
