Yeah, Ultra is kind of flaky, mine came with a case, but it seems t be alot more reliable than the other relatively unheard of brands like powmax etc. One of my powmax psus (in the download rig) actually blew up, fried the mobo.

And to justify my having 4 pcs on 24/7, I fold for the cure on them 24/7 (except the gaming rig, with which I only fold on at night)

I would be folding but that would make my cpu temp higher and mean my cp fan would e running 100% all the time...much too noisey for me.

That's not true. It can be done to make your PC(s) be able to run at full load and yet still remain almost silent. I'm doing it.

In the process of getting a 4800X2 and another newer model of my epox mobo: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813123258

In the last 3 years, most of my friends bought epox and was pretty good. The features on it are great and the price makes it REALLY worth it.

Before I heard about core 2 duo, I was certainly getting an epox mobo for my 3800 x2, but epox doesn't make core 2 mobos, so I had to sacrafice all the nifty features and go with the only board currently capable of both sli and core 2 duo =P
