    The cost for the overclock is not just for physical Overclocking, it covers the CPU should it fail due to being pushed beyond its limits by us, if a customer purchased a system of say 3gig and clocked it to 4 and the CPU died thats warranty voided..

    we charge the overclock to cover the CPU to run at that speed and give piece of mind, we find the CPUs limit or as near to it as we can

    I've had a look over at Guru3D, and they've done some benchmarks with a system very similar to mine, and all i can say is WOW!!!
    I can't wait

    Can you just imagine that when the pics come through, it won't be a clean science lab we're all expecting, just some dirty old table with hammer and nails with a day old burger and chips on the side!

    Looks like an awesome machine! All this is deffinately helping convince me to get my order in for a Scan machine. Can't wait to see more pics of yupyupno's machine. Fantastic that the scan guys are able to provide us with this kind of thing (or I think so anyway)
