Documentation Take a look at those heatpipes! *phew!* 3 thick heapipes per GPU. This thing can easily take a couple of 485m's. The questions remain: Power Circuitry? is it going to be enough? (probably) Bios whitelisting? Will the bios block non-approved cards? (also, probably) I am moving in August, and my job contract ends in July, so I will be buying my m18x in sept-oct this year. If by then they still dont have the 485m sli as a selection, my plan is to: Buy the base config with 460m sli from USA Buy the 485m sli pair from logicalblueone (local supplier) and MAKE IT WORK ??? Profit! Im sure someone will want to buy an SLI pair of 460m's somewhere on ebay if I can get it to work, but overall, I'm excited and hopeful! I was in doubt about the 485m's until I saw the cooling. It looks monstrous! As soon as I know everything is all working, I am going to proceed to see if I can do any cooling improvements to this behemoth. It will be interesting to see if they learned from all our work on the M17x-R2. -Ash

All m17xr3 and m18xr1 come with 3 antennae, even with default wireless card.

Decided to try and benchmark the memory on my system to see if it provides any real world speed enhancements during gameplay. System: I7-2630qm Nvidia 555 1.5mGT 60/64gb SSD Windows 7 home 4GB Ram stock speed 1600mhz. Game: Metro 2033 Benchmark Map: Frontlines (each map sequence is ran 3 times) Memory speeds benched 1067, 1333, 1600 album link http://imageshack.us/g/839/metro20331067.jpg/ Game Settings Memory at 1067 Memory at 1333 Memory at 1600 Notice the Max Frames increases but the average is the same. Verdict for Metro2033, Ram speed makes little difference. Thanks, StevenX

Here is a picture after 2 days. Seems quite effective. Edit: Sorry if this resulted in a double post, but my first reply did not show up.

Cool idea! Let us see some pictures of the mosquito net after a couple of weeks, I wanna see how much dust it holds back.
