Im gonna replace the tubes and fluid in the LCS (UV blue) at some point, dunno if its worth upgrading the LCS its a cool chip anyway, see how it runs once OC'ed its not gone over 26C stock... the MB is running 33C
Te 4870x2 is FRICKEN HOT! not even put it under load yet :S
Also gonna upgrade to a 30" screen at a later date to get the most out of the gfx card ;)

Got my new leather chair.... just waiting for the fricken desk to arrive now... LOL temporary solution!

Hehe thanks! :D
Still not tried to run a game on it yet been too busy loading up all my app's.
The 4870x2's just pumping out heat tho even at idle its nuts... it will keep me warm in winter tho!

It cost about £3k Uk moneys, dont know what that would be in dollar's..

Dollars would be more than I want to think about to be honest :p

I can't imagine the 4870x2's heat, since my 4850 idle'd at 80c before raising the fanspeed.

That thing should be amazing when you finally do load some games or w/e else on it. That's just incredible.
