Around here (Beirut Lebanon) it would set me back around 499.99$ :P

But the Regular Non-LCS Version Would Cost around 374.99$

Re: Intel DP45SG (Skyburg)

OK, these are pics I took while building the system. It doesn't show one of the WD Caviar drives.

First up, the beast from outside:



The side-panel. Notice how the heatsink comes right upto the side.



Yes, that's right, there's hardly any clearance:



Let's take the panel off. The 80mm fan blows air directly onto the heatsinks of the GPU's.



Birds eye view of poetry in motion:

Re: Intel DP45SG (Skyburg)

The front intake fan pulls cool air over the fins of the VelociRaptor:



Closer look at the graphics cards:



The processor fan:



A monster of a heatsink:



The RAM with my custon copper heatsinks:



The back:





Sorry for taking up so much real-estate on the thread guys.
