New Multiboxing Build [Complete & Upgraded]

[rfarris]

I ordered a Corsair Professional Series AX 1200 Watt Digital ATX/EPS Modular 80 PLUS Platinum and an Intel i7-4930K LGA 2011 today ($900 ouch!) In two weeks (payday!) I'll order memory, a cooler and another GTX 670 (4GB). That only leaves the MB.

When you (MiRai) say "end of this month" do you mean the end of October? In that case, I'll wait until the end of October to order the Asus RIVE Black to build the new computer.

Yup

Is there anywhere that I can pre-order an Asus RIVE Black? Anybody know?

The newest information I can find is that it will be released on 29-Oct and that it can be preordered from www.ncix.com for $499.

I'm really disappointed with that bottle of Heineken beer on your shelf. We do our dishes with that crap here in Belgium. Really expected much more of you.

I don't even drink beer -- I drink Tanqueray. Or occasionally single-barrel bourbon.

Well my post was obviously aimed @ mirai, I have no idea about what's on your shelf.

I've never heard of pre-ordering motherboards before. Just like you don't pre-order RAM, CPUs, or video cards. I also don't see the RIVE Black listed on NCIX.

It's actually an unopened bottle that was brewed, bottled, and bought in Amsterdam. A buddy of mine got it for me as a souvenir (I guess) when he went on vacation in Europe.

I saw that info on overclockers.net. I looked for it at NCIX after I posted here and couldn't find it either. I emailed the support folks and they said that they weren't accepting pre-orders any more. I suspect that they got enough orders that they re-thought the pricing strategy.

I've done the tour of the *old* Heineken brewery in Amsterdam. Pretty cool place. At one point you go inside a vat that used to be used to brew 1,000,000 bottles of beer.

After watching your video MiRai, I am kind of curious if are going to sell your last kidney for this motherboard!? Or did you use it to upgrade your video cards?
