| monkeydee was in my neck of the woods tonight and we devised a way to fit a non sealed loop in this thing, 120 rad on the side (or top if its standing) barbs on the block at a slight angle, t line to fill instead of a res, and a low profile mcp-355 mounted under the psu. |

| lol the i7 is the only intel in the house, the other 6 systems are all amd (and one G5 mac):P, only went intel bc of the deal denty gave me on the chip, i find the amds more stable all around anyways |

| blah, looks like its back to the 965BE for a while, think i might just get a crosshair 4 for the am3 instead of building another intel, never had a amd burn out on me, but this is the 3rd intel in 10 years |

| soo, pretty sure the mem controller in the i7 finally bit the dust. gonna toy around and see if i can get the frigger running again, if i have to rebuild might go dual cpu, the thought of 16 threads is enticing |
