Nice that was funny

and did they ever figure out that the last pc had a 260 gtx and this one has 2 x 275? maybe that had something to do with the score being double in 3DMark

Agree 100%. Wowwowwewe were they annoying! Nice PC though lol. Those raven cases are interesting. What is the main reason they give to orient the mobo that way? The connections or supposed to be better with heat?

I think that earlier in the episode, something happened, and the camera men were bringing it up again. At least they apologized! Star

,, i just watched that clip of G4, what a shame. I dont care that they want to have a good time but DAMN give the review and giggle afterwards. Good thing that G4 is not my main source of information. At least DS gets Kick Ass Awards from reputable sources and its customers.

If you orient the case that way so the motherboard is rotated 90 degrees, then the expansion cards will face UP. Fans on the bottom, 180mms, blow air directly in that direction as well. As you should know, heat naturally rises, so the Raven series exploits this to produce ventilation unique to its class. Another thing I think the motherboard orientation does is that any air passing on the expansion cards will inevitably flow right around the card, and won't float up from heat like in a standard case because it's already floating up from heat. I dunno, this sounds like it makes better air cooling to me. The Raven series isn't especially outfitted for liquid cooling though, its more for air cooling. Still has tubing pass-throughs if you wanna LC though.
