It is a D0 Stepping and i plan on overclocking a bit

, And my video card is overclocked with an ASUS top bios.

Went and bought some of these...

Put the PSU in..

Painted these.

With some of this

I painted them over a hanger paper from the dry cleaners and it was the perfect size so i paint it 360 degrees around.

My cat liked playing with the flex tubing.

More comp

Painted flex tubing

A Teaser of what it will look like in the system, It is around some USB plugs.

My raid HDD's and my SSD

Has anyone seen flex tubing used like this? I haven't, Not saying they havent. But would you think it would be a Plus or - With Temperature... Or it wouldnt matter?

i7 920 is a waste on this board.

Go get a good priced Xeon 5520-5570 from eBay.. lower power consumption, faster QPI speed, and usually better overclocking..

Man I wish I could find a good deal on this board. I have a Xeon L5520 and 3x2GB Crucial Ballistix Tracer 1600mhz CL8 waiting on my desk for some tests

That's a compliment and an understatement. A D0 on a good board can do ridiculous things. I've also played with a couple Xeon that don't OC as well. It's still luck of the draw when buying a CPU.
