Yeah, same here. Just worked majority of my life with ribbons over those tiny little SATA cables. :P




If there is a final hour, let's hope for a higher power. One by one, and two by two, I have ammo, what about you?

From the companies I've talked to, it should be about what the X38 boards are now....$330-350, with the X38's dropping to the $260-300 range.

The problem right now is that retailers buy these products, then sell them....you also have to understand supply and demand......the market will correct itself.

Look what UPS just dropped off today :) I've got her up and running, but waiting on my last few watercooling parts to give overclocking a try. I love the power and reset that are integrated on the motherboard.

If they crammed any more copper on that thing the board would probably crumble. How much did that bad boy set you back?
