Got any unboxing videos / review in the pipeline??? tongue.gif

Was planning to get the Zino then Dell killed it doh.gif . They recommended me to get the big fat 620s. sweat.gif . I think I might seriously consider this one if its worth the money, since I was planning to get a HTPC/Gaming hybrid anyway (was aiming for the highest end zino).

With the PCIe bridge, seems like upgrading the cards won't be a problem either (since with a GTX555 configuration only draws about 200++ W, got extra 100W for you to play around if you upgrade cards).

The only question is...how will the launch of Ivy bridge processors affect this rig by the end of this year ....

awesome rig to have but abit on the expensive side though:[

well u pay for the design and the hardware type that you can fit into that really slim case....its like a DIY SFF PC that comes with warranty.

I think the amount that you're paying is really the innovation of that PCIe bridge for the GC....getting a full size GC into a SFF casing is most of the time impossible.
