I've been excited for this for way too long. Does anyone else share the same excitement as me? I just think that this is such a cool idea and I can't wait to get one of my own. How much do you guys think the launch price is going to be?

My ~$200 USD build:

AMD A8-7600    G. Skill Ripjaws Z @1800 CAS 8     EVGA 500w 80+ PSU    Gigabyte GAF2A68HM-DS2H Motherboard

what the heck is that? guessing a cooler of something but i cant really tell from the picture :P

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

I think it's mostly exciting from an enthusiast standpoint. Plus they are really quiet.

Well, I'm an enthusiast, and I don't see the point. We have very quiet air coolers already, we have passive cooling already.

Nah, I doubt it. I just don't see the point myself.
