It’s funny how many times I see things at an IT show that make me laugh.One of those times was last week at CES. . read on. See if you can see whats wrong..

tkArena Bloggers - Do they know what they are doing?

Being water cooled have they still got the computer to switch off enabled in the bios if the CPU fan fails.

one of the ram is missing the cover with the led

look harder at the first pic in my blog the close up...

[Jomo]

I want to know what's on the cpu, the inlet and outlet are way too close together if they're even attached. The block(if that's what you want to call it) looks asinine, doesn't look right.

It is hard to tell in the photo, but as I mentioned, the cooling set up, at least from my chair does not look right.

Edit: That doesn't even look like a water block

The fans dont seem to work although the machine seems to be up and runing.And an LCD display is missing from the first ram group.

[John Gatt]

Ok hint time.... Yes there is a LCD missing of one of the 3 ram dims in there!

[Johnzo!]

Ram is in the wrong slots.. and should the water cooling pipe be so close to the dimms?

The first and third modules are XMS2 Xpert Series - DDR2 Memory with Programmable Display the first one is missing the Programmable Display but that ok it changes nothing to how it would run.

The middle (2nd) module is a DOMINATOR and has both of the DOMINATOR DHX heat sinks on it.......
