[t0m]

well heres a little update. i borrowed a stick of crucial ballistx yesterday off my buddy and it boots fine in my system, but no matter what i did i couldnt boot my reapers. so i borrowed this stick for now and ordered the mushkin xp 4 gig kit linked above (thanks 3.0charlie). right now my friend is using my reapers in his system so im not sure why i cant use it but (after a slight hit to the wallet) everything should be fine when my new kit gets here.

on a more pleasant note, i got my little cooling mod finished (hopefully post some pics at some point soon) and all my fans installed, wires managed and my vendetta 2 showed up about a half hour ago

i just installed windows on this thing and im running it through windows update and doing my drivers right now...with any luck my ram will be here tomorrow or the next and ill start trying to push this motherboard around a little.

thanks for all the advice
