Lian-Li intros 10-slot
High-end case maker Lian-Li has found the solution to adding double slot cards to a motherboard’s lowest slot: They’ve added more slots!
ATX cases have traditionally only supported seven slots, since that’s the maximum number of cards supported. But the combination of double-thickness graphics cards and multiple graphics card slots has placed the lowest x16 slot in a motherboards lowest position. This had previously limited the bottom card to single-slot coolers and brackets, with no spare room for "breakout plates" that often support additional audio or I/O headers.
Lian-Li’s "Armorsuit" PC-P80 provides a solution by offering a total of ten expansion slots, three of which are located beneath the motherboard’s bottom slot position. The company was showing off a customized "CrossFire X" version to grab additional attention.
"Crossfire X" customizations made this PC-P80 a showstopper
A card support bracket and 12-bay external drive cage dominates the interior view
Major features include ten card slots and four liquid-cooling hose grommets
Designed for customization, the standard PC-P80 is available in black

Is it time for another DDR3 grouptest?
I bought 4 gigs of the aXeRam PC2-9600 (1200MHz) for £170, stuck it in my Evga 680i board and started tweaking, reached 3-3-3-8 @ 800MHz using 2.0v, 4-3-4-8 @ 1066MHz using 2.0v, 5-4-4-12 @ 1115MHz using 2.0v, 5-5-5-15 @ 1200MHz using 2.2v, 5-5-5-16 @ 1312MHz using 2.2v.
All these settings got through various stress tests completely stable, other hardware used were X6800 cooled by a titan amanda tec cooler, PC P+C 850W PSU.
Would love to see a shoot out of the latest top spec ram (these included) with the likes of TWIN2X2048-8888C4DF thrown in, as far as i'm concerned for the price it's going to be hard to beat these clocks/timings as in bang for your buck.
