Yea I don't like the white and red either which makes me think about Defyant's stealthed mobo.

Dangerden is making the custom blocks, the board is going to be under $500 with all three blocks(cpu, nb, and mosfets). The cpu block is a TDX with a different lucite top and the northbridge block is an improvision on the maze 4 chipset block.

Ditto.

I'm only a n00b, but does the installation of that CPU block looks like a rush job - I'm looking at the lower spring there. :huh:

It hasn't been aligned very well but springs can be sods to align vertically, but they'll be fine aslong as the pressue being applied to the core is sufficient.
It may be that there will be revisions on the board/mounting before final release aswell if it is a design flaw.

Gotta love the PC biz right about now... there seems to be a lot of really nice stuff coming out.

But... impressive as this may be, the colors are ugly. It might play well in getting their product noticed, though.

If you look at this picture up close you can see the spring is off to the side a bit so it looks like it was rushed.

Black would be so much better than the white or even a red board with black but white is bad.

Don't like logos, myself. All a bit ott, but fine for a display stand I suppose.
