Did anyone who ordered spare clips from Lian Li receive them yet? Ordered mine some time ago, and no word of it since. Just wondering if I should expect the slow boat on this as well.

Is there a reason why custom standoff's for the motherboard mount were used rather than the standard hex-head threaded bolts?

hehe, yep I just put on headphones and I can't hear anything anymore. My wife on the other hand... :(

If you don't mind me asking, what kind of videocard do you have?
