This has to be my favorite shark http://www.amazon.com/ANTICIPATED-MOTHERBOARD-DESIGNED-MAXIMUM-OVERCLOCK/dp/B008FSEBDG/ref=sr_1_5?ie...

You have no idea what you are buying with this guy but it is the most anticipated lol.

I don't think the guy selling even has an idea what he's selling; just a placeholder listing before he gets his "stock". LOL

How did they get it before Amazon?

Most of the sellers that have it in stock online are in California... that has to say something about the availability of the boards for now. But doesn't Amazon have a CA warehouse as well?



Anyway, my board had been shipped out yesterday! Should be in my hands by next Saturday (worst-case). 😄

6.8lbs though... What?

I often here people from Cali say that they prefer to order from Amazon (over the egg) because they don't get charged sales tax. If Amazon had a W/H is California then they would be subject to sales tax, so my guess is that they do not have a physical warehouse in California (assuming I was correct about there being no sales tax on Amazon purchases). Of course, they doesn't explain why Superbiiz has the ThunderFX model and the Egg doesn't.

On a side-note...I needs me one of those "highly anticipated motherboards", no matter what it is. 🙂

Yep ... disappointing ... adding to that you can't have a thick rad and you have to modify a little the roof not to condemn the top bay 😞
But it works 😄

I'm planning to put a slim 140mm rad at the back exhaust as well. I wonder how that would fit in the board. Shouldn't have any clearance issues, really, since it fits my 140mm fan fairly well. just need to see how it fits with respect to the Fusion Thermo.

Gipi49, would you mind posting photo of the motherboard inside the Cosmos II, since you'll get it earlier than me? Just need to have an idea how it fits inside the case. Lol.

Scat... Lol

No problems ... I will post pics of the finished rig 😉

Why wouldn't you utilize the ridiculous amount of space in the bottom of the case? You can fit 2 x 240 rads down there.

You should check this video out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-ua3gSL62I

^ Congrats on finally getting your board! Lucky you! 😄

Yeah, I will mount a 240 rad down there (only a single one, though), when I eventually need it (for a second GPU). But for now, I just wanted to make the central part of the loop look busier. Lol. 😄



Thanks in advance, Gipi49. I see you got a Swiftech 360 rad up in there... how thick is it?

37 mm thick, I think it's the limit for this case and configuration. I'm worried about the PCIe combo card to touch the fitting at this time. Will discover it when I receive the board 🙂
