Believe what you want dude but BD will be that bad only in your dreams. Top 8c FX will beat the 2600K in heavily MT programs like CB 11.5 and lose in most if not all low thread scenarios.
That's no "fantasy" blog, OBR has a history of breaking nda and posting numerous leaks, furthermore he is completely biased against AMD so there is no chance of him faking these results just to make BD look better and they aren't that good anyway for an 8 core CPU. Again the results you posted...

Has anyone tried this free game? The first space sim I've played featuring Newtonian physics making this game quite challenging but still fun to play. The graphics are pretty old, although if you crank the AA and AF it looks acceptable.
Hardwarecanucks tests the power consumption of the same EVGA GTX 260 216 SP Superclocked but end up with very different numbers from Anand

Very nice imo must cost an arm and a leg though.
This is some odd looking layout but the cooling should be great with 3 180mm fans

Top 140mm fan

The A17's fan module has less restrictive airflow than the A16 so I think it's better and it has the same style removable tray but with added holes and clips for routing cables behind the tray.
And another one PC-A17

I initially wanted to buy the PC-A16 but I think I'll wait for this one instead it seem to be alot better.

If you install a large heatsink (tr ultra 120, tuniq tower etc) while the removable tray is outside the case is it possible to mount the tray back into the case with the heatsink attached?
