to me Ratings of products are like polls for politicians...They can be made to say anything they want. Also like reviews at Newegg..90% are just silly and make no sense.

For example the 90CFM rating. Is that in actual use, in a vacuum, under ideal conditions, at what voltage? etc...I have no clue so I take things like that with a grain of salt.

Personally I prefer to find out on my own and by word of mouth that I trust.

What I do know it the fans move plenty of air, are very quiet and the blade design is the coolest one I have ever seen.

pantherx12 · Nov 22, 2009

The ratings are based on best conditions, sound proof room, from 3 feet away not infront of the air flow etc, and also at the ratings they state on the fan. The fans would also be mounted in heavily sound dampened equipment.

Hehe, I just had to laugh at you guys talking about using flexible PCI-e extension cables to lay the cards flat and then deciding that won't work cause you need a crossfire connector. Ummmm, if they can make a flexible PCI-e connector they can sure as hell make a flexible crossfire bridge...

Ryo129 · Nov 23, 2009

somethingcool · Nov 23, 2009

But, I gotta say... there is one thing about you.. You can finish! Me... I'm still playing with my system.. lol.. Case comes last to me! :laugh:

MKmods · Nov 23, 2009

To say im disappointed is a bit of an understatement, but I knew when I was submitting it I was late so its on me this time.

Cold Storm · Nov 23, 2009

Yeah... but still.. I guess... Whens the next one? we'll both get in it!

craigbru · Nov 23, 2009

Wow, that really sucks Mark. I know you were working your butt off to try and get it done in time.

You have a good head start on the next competition.

I have a bunch of the flex Crossfire/Sli connectors.. But when the cards are stacked they are reversed (so one sucks air from underneath and one on top) and they look terrible all twisted.

I have made my own but its a lot of work to make it look nice.

Elfen Lied, ftw!

Hmmmm, that just gave me an idea. You should do an Elfen Lied themed case next.

MKmods · Nov 25, 2009

sweet, but I wont be able to show it to anyone under 18 :laugh:

My next project is to finish up the TPU/Bad Boys tribute case, Im looking for some good AMD hardware now.
(anyone looking for a tricked out x58 mobo, W3503 and 6 gigs of OCZ 1600 mem?)

pantherx12 · Nov 25, 2009

Don't tempt me with stuff like that, I thought I'd be save from temptation on a project log thread XD

That would be awesome! I LOVE Elfen Lied... Freaky story. Guess there's a few anime fans here as well. :rockout:

djisas · Nov 25, 2009

We are everywhere, you might not know but we anime fans will soon take over the world...

BOBDBONE · Nov 28, 2009

Hi Mark,

Sorry to hear you didn't get submitted in time.

Did you talk to anyone live about it? Forward them this thread and see if they'll get it in there.

I was just at Intel too, I could of talked to them maybe.

Either way, it looks amazing.

MKmods · Nov 28, 2009

Thanks Bob, I spoke to some lady by phone (who was pretty vague) but kind of said I missed the deadline.

While I am quite disappointed they didnt accept it at least they improved the rules and contest itself (something I have been whining about for a few years now so thanks Intel for at least paying attention)

So I basically see it as a win for me in the long run.
