Well times are changing around here for bill and I have decided that the MonstaCade will be taking a ride accross the sea to a little island nut case so he could abuse the machine and what ever else he decides to freeze.

The problem here is, or one of them, every single Intel board that I have cold bugs on this beast. I have tried 750, 2x 860's, 870, and now 975XE... none will boot any colder than ~60c.

I just spent the afternoon getting everything all prepped up with a 975XE and kick on the Cascade to find out it will not boot, again :(

Not sure if its these Gigabyte boards that need cold bug mods, I know the P55 boards have one out but I have not tried them yet.

Plus at home here the wife had been out of work well over 8 months, finally getting a really sweet job making good jack but its no good for the mortage company. I am also here at home taking care of o'l Mom and I am not able to get out and work, might have to do something about that also that I really don't want to do. So we may be having to look for a new place here soon :(

Kal and I had been working with a builder to have a 2 stage cascade that has gone south, for a long time now with no sight to the end of it.

But I must honer my comments and do the best that I can for that deal to come to an end in the best way possible. Kal is a great guy and I think its in the best interest for all that I ship the cascade to him. I will handle the jack fruit builder

So as of monday I will be I will be looking for a shipper to have this packaged up for a nice safe trip to the islands.

So good luck and have fun Kal
