Not to mention slower.

FBDIMM RAM= Slower than DDR2, much less DDR3
Two Quad cores yield less performance.
The skulltrail board is very bad for overclocking, so all that water cooling is wasted.

It's just a horrible choice.

I wouldn't. Even if i was rich I'd feel horrified about spending so much money. If I had limitless monies I'd probably still get an X48-DS4..

edited. I did say DQ6 but of course they're not compatible with Thermalright heatsinks...

I would get a Rampage Formula.

If I was rich as hell, I wouldn't get there by buying stuff like Skulltrail, but still I think I could spend 280 on a Mobo :)

Not watercooling the graphics cards?
Lol @ powercolor, all that money and you're not even using quality components? I know powercolor make the only 1GB card, but as tests proved, it makes no damn difference to ATI hardware, no idea why.

and there will be water blocks for that aswell, there were for the 3870X2s. ofcourse that probably means more fans and a 120.3 rad for 2 X2s, or even a 120.4, which would mean a move to a TJ 07, or a Lian Li PC-P80B

A 120.3 rad could easily cope with two 4870X2s if it was a good one.

I bought the 1200rpm version from Specialtech on 18/01/2007, which came with the 7V and 5V adapters like it should, and I bought the 800rpm from Overclockers on 15/02/2007, which came with the 7V adapter, like it should. I also bought the 80mm Noctua from overclockers on 18/01 and don't recall it coming with either adapter.

Lmao showoff... Come a month's time though, you'll have sold that PC and will be back to a crummy old celeron desktop, whereas my PC will still be as it is now, if not better! :P

the monitor i bought was £35 cheaper on ebuyer, rather than OcUK, BUT OcUK guarranty an M-VA panel, and if anythign goes wrong, they talk with digimate personally on your behalf, but i thought its £35, let me go to ebuyer.

ebuyer advertised VA specs, but i checked on friday and my monitor was only a sh!tty TN panel. :(

so i RMA'ed it, and its within 28 days, so they took it form me yesterday adn are looking int he warehouses for a VA to replace it. but now im stuck on my old crappy 17" crap, its so hard to play games, with a big widescreen i felt immesered as it would nearly take up my whole vision, with this i feel liek i am not immeresed, and it feels crap to play. :( (and more square than i ever thought.
