Well Newegg has the Extreme 4 available and I could order a new one...
But I have still haven't received an email about my RMA. Nice to see they are more about selling the new boards than taking care of existing customers who bought one the first week it was available.
Not so happy with my...
I'll throw in my 2c for comparison.
3700+ SD @ 255x11, 1.54V = ~36c Idle and ~43 Load
Running only the cpu on the Apex. Currently have 1 fan on the rad running 5V and the other running 7V. I tried one fan running at 12V and its noticeably noisy for me and didn't improve temps much (~.5)...
I would agree that user error is more to blame. The fittings are fine. When I installed the tubing there was some twisting involved and I didn't make sure the bard was still screwed tightly onto the block. Live and learn...
Didn't let any of the magic smoke out. The machine was actually humming along quite nicely when I noticed the leak.
The green is from Hydrx/water. Its probably a little stronger than normal. It supposed to be a 1ounce per 1L mix, but I was a bit shy of 1L of water.
Much to my dismay I found after about 5 days running a small pool of water on my video card. I had run the system through a 24hr leak test and didn't see a drop. Dunno if heating the system up started the problem or what. Quick fix was to tighten the barbs on the block a bit. Seems OK now.

Board has been great so far. Only wish I could squeeze a bit more power for Vcore. Had no problems running the HTT over 300. Currently posting at HTT=255.
Anyone know if there are newer models on the horizon from Dell?
Both panels have been on the market quite some time. I'm looking to buy a 1600x1200 or 1680x1050 panel soon. The Dell units are certainly priced right,but I'd hate to commit to one if there's something better just around the corner.
The non-platinum version does still come with the onboard Creative Live sound.
I just recently purchased the non-platinum. For the difference in price I didn't see any features that I would need. Either board should have everything you need and more. GL with your new system.
How will payment/shipping be handled?
Will we pay the retailer directly and have a kit shipped to us? Or will they have to be purchased in bulk and shipped to you to be distributed?
I would be interested in 1 kit if we are able to pay the retailer directly.

Its a great laptop for the money. I purchased one but returned it because of its size (need something a bit more mobile). I've read many people dislike the LCD because of a "sparkle" effect. I wasn't bothered so much by this problem but it is there. Personally I might recommend the WXGA+ screen...
