For $220, it's a great deal. It has the exact same performance as the Thunder, and it is tested to run fine with those cheap and fast 1ghz durons. They say Tyan is putting out this board to compete with other offerings of a cheap 760 platform, we can only hope."

    Me and a buddy at work discussed and came up with two things:

    If a heatsink/fan falls off your CPU while in operation, get out of computers. If you can't installa heatsink correctly you are a dangerous individual who should be restricted to installing AOL for people.

    I think the CPU cooking would be just one part of the catastrophe. Think about...heatsink falls off. You now have a hunk of metal the size of your fist falling into your box. Along the way, what could it hit? Dislodge the wrong capacitor, fry your video card by connecting the wrong solder points, cook the motherboard through the same process. If the heatsink falls off and only the CPU cooks, consider yourself lucky that you're only out $100.
