Yep, it comes with an additional separate backplate panel with a couple more USB 3 ports which plugs in to that header too, if you need that.

So in completely useless but drool worthy news OCZ is releasing the RevoDrive R4 with 16X 2581 sand force controllers, up to 16TB of storage and 6GBps (not Gbps) transfers.
I can just imagine backing up an entire game in 1-2 seconds....

Is the base price $599 US Dollars?
Definitely not. Lowest capacity is 800gb and enterprises drives are nowhere near $1/gb. Im guessing it will start in the $1500 range
I heard that enterprise admins find OCZ drives the least reliable although that may be from the whole SF controller fiasco.
Maybe the newer batch will prove otherwise.
I'm in for the 7970. But which brand should I go? Sapphire, XFX, Gigabyte...?

OK GAF, my PC died so I'm taking the opportunity and building a new beast.
Let me know what you think of this build;
Case: BitFenix Raider
Graphics: MSI GeForce GTX570 OC Twin Frozr III (would love to upgrade this and get a GTX580 sub £300, but I don't see that happening)
Mobo: ASUS P8Z68-v PRO/GEN3
CPU Cooler: Corsair H80
CPU: i5 2550K
PSU: Corsair SMPSU-850AXUK 850w Modular PSU (Gold standard)
RAM: 16gb (4x4) Corsair Vengeance 1600MHz
HDD: 2x Seagate 1TB SATAIII ST31000524AS
I'm going to RAID 1 the TB drives to try and get a bit more performance out of them (SSD isn't really an option with the amount of data I have on my PC - I'm going to be filling the thing with my other drives in addition to these)

*edit*
Picture is worth lots of words and all that
Love that board. Got it for 50 off with an i5-2500k

I would get a smaller SSD and use the saved money for a ATI 7970 or GTX 580.
If he gets the EVGA 560 ti 448 classy instead, he can save money and over clock the card to 580 performance.
I just bought a 7970 from Sapphire, it's fucking awesome
I made a step by step of what I did on my blog, 7970 pic included.

Can someone explain the difference between

I had a spare stock Haf X 200mm black fan laying around and swapped it into the front of my 650d....soo much better.
Now I'd like to get one more for the top, but newegg and others only sell red or blue led 200mm fans (not the black version). Is there a store that sells stock haf X fans or should I just contact CM directly?
So, I've had a week to get to know my Gigabyte Radeon 7970. My first thought is regret...this card should not be over $500.00, but since Nvidia is dragging their ass with Kepler (June, seriously?) AMD can do whatever they want. Still, shame on them for being so bullish.
My second thought concerns acoustics; this thing is loud as hell. So loud, in fact, I've had to resort to using headphones. Not sure why AMD couldn't design a better reference cooler. This thing is nearly as bad as the initial batches of GTX 480s.
Third thought concerns performance; I love what it can do, but I'm still feeling like the drivers are holding it back. Hoping they improve over the next month.

Thanks! And how it is different from Asus's one? Is there any advantage in one or another? Espeacially in temperature and overclock.
Check performance-pcs, frozencpu, xoxide, and coolermaster store.
That's the same one I'm getting
My case has 4 USB 3.0 ports on the front - I guess I can connect the USB3 header on this board for 2, then a USB2 header for the other 2? Really hoping that'll work
Can anyone confirm this?
It looks like the headers are totally different, so I'm not sure if USB3 on my case will connect to the USB2 header on my board....
Are SSD's really worth it seriously?, even for someone like myself that leaves their machine on 24/7?, that being the case start-up times aren't really and issue and most actions within windows have been cached.
Anyone ungraded to an SSD that leaves their machine on 24/7 notice a marked improvement in windows?
The difference is like dial up to broadband in general computer use. When you open something, it just opens. During the initial transition, I was a big fan of 'SSD for OS/main programs, RAID0 mechanical for games', and now have completely moved away from mechanical for anything other than media storage and dxtory recording.Are SSD's really worth it seriously?, even for someone like myself that leaves their machine on 24/7?, that being the case start-up times aren't really and issue and most actions within windows have been cached.

so yesterday i got my seagate barracuda green 2TB hard drive in the mail and put it into my rig. not the fastest drive, but i was desperately running out of space.after the boot, the hard drive "beeps" several times, and but then was able to be formatted as an NTFS fine.
maybe 10 minutes later, it now intermittently will "beep" again, lose connection,and then recover and "beep" and be detected and accessible again.
i tried other SATA ports/power cables that are known to work my hard drive containing win 7, and all the ports check out fine, but the new drive keeps doing this.
haven't had much time to look into it/what i may have done wrong (which i suspect is nothing), but does it sound like i should probably just go ahead and start the RMA when i get home from work tonight?

So I currently have 4GB RAM (2 of these).
Right now Newegg is having a sale on this 2 x 4GB set for $28 after MIR. Should I do it?
so when my E8400 CPU was overclocked from 3GHz to 3.2GHz, Starcraft 2 ran great on extreme. Removing the overlock, it stutters and lags even when I reduce all the settings to low. This makes no sense!!!
What could be causing this problem? Surely 200MHz isn't the difference between smooth on Extreme and incapable of running the game.
