Nice set up Clone m8. Love the Dimos bench :cool: On the verge of ordering mine;).
Im interested in the CellShock benchies as i have the 1800s (black heat spreader)

Well its made of aluminum and had the the stupid little 8m/10m asus barbs on it, I wouldnt really recoment using it lol

The block i think is solid copper apart from the barbs which are aluminium? I may be wrong?

Price Increase for this board :(

Ocuk had the board originally listed for £258-00 inc. This weekend just passed 16-17/8 was on special offer (weekend only).

Just checked OcUK website, yet again OcUK have continued the special offer price of £199-00 exc , £218-00 inc (£40-00) saving on their original list price. Its good to see OcUK have seen fit to extend their special offer beyond the weekend deadline. Another major competitor has the board for £246-00 inc.

Any aluminium is bad in my view lol

:D I am in total agreement with you Smirnoff m8. I am going to order a Mips NB block, including a KTC block as i have wanted to test one out for some time.

Edit: Is there a release date for the swift tech NB block as of yet?

Swiftech rep was saying around 3 to 4 weeks. Are Mips doing a specal block or is it a standard NB block ?

10mm is 3/8".


I was able to get soft Tygon 8/11 over the ones on the Maximus Formula SE, but standard PVC 8/10mm tubing needed to use one of the convertors.

Mips are doing a straight NB WB to replace the fusion block. either Two types either all solid copper or nickel plated.

2-4 weeks for the ST, Mips take 10 days to two weeks, and are made to order.

Mips are also doing the complete set of blocks as well including mofsets made to order either all copper or nickel plated
 
Can anyone do me a quick favor and let me know about this board:
