Okay, thanks!

I'll be putting it together this weekend, but I seated the processors last night, and I gotta say I love the retention clip design on the retail HS/fan.

I'll see what I can do. As I said, the processors are seated, but I'll put up some shots of the mobos and the vid card.

Unseat them. C'mon man. If you love them, surely you wanna keep photos handy.

Just for you, Prof. I brought some of it in today, because the IT guy's a friend of mine and wanted to check it out. I also borrowed the company digital camera (which is ancient, so sorry about the picture quality).

Note the pad on the bottom of the HS. Since I don't plan to o/c, I picked up the retail version.
