DaPoets Posted April 30, 2008 Author Share Posted April 30, 2008 yeah I was wondering if there was something to this that I wasn't getting that makes it worth the high cost, but all the articles I'm reading about it say it's a power drain (high electric bills), high cost parts to even make it work, and NEEDS aftermarket cooling or else it will explode in a firey ball of omgwtf.

DaPoets Posted April 30, 2008 Author Share Posted April 30, 2008 I'm starting to look ahead toward future upgrades that I want to do at the end of summer. My stock options mature in August :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
