Several other parts showed up this week: the motherboard, the ram, and the graphics card. It was a very exciting day in the neighborhood. I finally could do a quick hook up to make sure nothing was DOA. So far, everything works like a charm.

  • Foxconn Bloodrage motherboard:
    1366 socket, 3 triple channel DDR3 slots, heat pipe coolers for north and south bridge, 8 channel audio breakout board, dual Gb LAN, lots of overclocking potential.
