I have both blocks here, and my first priority when I move is to get the second part of the roundup hammered out!!

Yeah, if you use a acrylic top it would be interesting. If I was much better at ACAD I could do it with the CNC mill. But then I would have to buy the damn new parts to run smaller bits. Later this year!!!

the th7-ii is about the best board out there for p4, so I think it'd be really cool to see a good review on it for once

Joe, I think you should stick to what you've got, and try to improve on it.

More reviews, more articles, more roundups, writers who write but please, for the love of god, stay away from the case mod DB! You'll just end up attracting the wrong crowd...

pHaestus upcoming roundup should be very exciting.

I'd like to see more DIY articles on watercooling and something on phase change, home-made! I'd also like to see more theory ('cause u know, i'm the calculating type...)

You might do well by attracting/rewarding users to write/contribute something.

I'd love to see more end result articles. It seems every one's journal projects keep getting pushed off... Granted I know y'all are busy and what not (i.e. Joe movin).
but it'll be great to see pH's cooling article when it's here.

I'd like to see more FAQs on watercooling setup design. Like where to put res, how to make an air trap, etc. Also a roundup of commonly used setups ie. various internal and external setups, and which ones are best for certain applications, ie. LAN party box or immobile tower case. So I guess that would fall under articles.

Another good article idea would be a guide of where to get watercooling parts cheap, like buying heatercores at the autostore, junction boxes for res, disconnects, etc.

Another neato thing I thought would be cool is to have worklogs not just for Pro/Staff, but for anyone who would pay a few bucks for 5Mb of space. A lot of people don't have a good place to host our projects and setups.

And I also would like to see some pr0n on a WB. Maybe I'll get the Dremel etching attachment and go to town on that Z4.

I always find roundups to be the the most helpful when trying to pick out parts, and it seems like ProCooling always has better ones and better equipment than most.

I also thought the oldschool waterblock roundup was really good, i find history like that to be really interesting. Gives a perspective on the evolution of what we now see on the market. I have a SysFX socket A block from a few years ago if you want to buy it cheap pHeastus (sysfx went out of business almost as fast as it went in, thier stuff is very hard to come by these days)
