Keeping for spares, giving away if people will pay shipping.

Sorry, these have been cell phone pics
I'll have my good camera for most for the rest of the build

i7-940 was unstable, as it's discontinued, I was unable to exchange it
I went for a D0 920 instead. Should overclock just as well, if not better

really? i was on the phone with support over at ASUS and they say that they have backups made and on hand in Taiwan at all times during the lifespan of a card(until its most recent warranty is up, being 3yrs for all cards)(and, i asked them because i RMA'd a card that they don't make anymore :) ) surprised intel doesn't do the same with CPUs, silly OEM
