Hi all!
Just to update, I emailed the Tyan techies to see what the max weight limit that the board could take as far as HSFs go. Well, their reply was that they "have not tested for this type situation in our labs" and that the two Swiftech MCX462 HSFs (combined mass about 1.5 kg) " are about 2 lbs of weight and will bend the board and any long term flex will warp the board especially when heat is introduced."

That's what they told me. Guess I won't get the Swiftys.

Does anybody know what the mass of the Danger Den Maze2 blocks are? I wanted to know if it would be heavier than my Vantec CCK @ 386g.

Thanks!
