likely for the raid card which are intended to be cooled but ship with no cooling

Correct there is a 40mm fan they want you to order if its not in a server designed to cool. Sadly that fan is even louder than the fan included with the Sabertooth.

The 4 port header is just to utilize the un-used USB 2.0 headers that are on the board as all of the on there natively on the rear I/O are already used.

The industrial USB 2.0 hub is because I kept killing even belkin ones and go sick of it. I have it moused to the front of the table i ahve a bunch of my home theater stuff on and I use it to plug the controllers into and other stuff like that. This makes controllers much more convenient and the experience much closer to a console for local multiplayer.

I'm actually pretty stocked excuse I have the Steam Controller and MS X1 Elite Controller on pre-order. I'll probably do the same for the Razer Wildcat once I can. It's been quite a while since anything notable with controllers has happened.

So yea I've been busy. I'd say at this point expect the list maybe tomorrow night but probably the next. I work the next couple days and have a number of other things that I need to take care of first sadly. :(

Thanks for your support as always guys (well maybe girls too but far less likely). Chibi PC is probably a better fit for the girls as its got a much higher cute factor. I mean heck its in the name. ;)

The Parts List is now looking good. That too way longer to format that I thought. Getting the links just right was kinda a pain.

Let me know what you all think, thanks!

So looks like the 960 link for newegg may actually be pointing at a 970 for some reason. :P

Ill get to fixing that. If anyone sees anything else please let me know, thanks.
