Has anyone gotten their hands on the new raystorm gpu block yet? I've been trying to search, but all I've found so far are sites selling it or people talking about the cpu block.

This keyboard is beautiful. Its stylish and very ergonomic. They almost made it perfect if they had of made it with mechanical keys for hardcore gamers. However this was not an over sight for them....

I contacted XSPC and they said it wasn't compatible with any of the 7xxx graphics cards, thats a major let-down for me

Somehow that doesn't sound right. My guess is that they haven't actually tested it with any 7xxx cards. As far as I know the screw hole positions haven't changed at all for the last several generations of cards so it should work just fine.

I sent XSPC another e-mail asking if the raystorm is compatible if I used that.

sorry, I missed the GPU question but not sure how to delete this;
I have used universals GPU's by Swiftech. There is an old Universal review at Skinnee Labs. They all work well. The problem is they all need to have the heatsinks on the VRM and RAM not cooled by the GPU cooler. And that is why I went back to a full-cover block. Either way. Good luck.

good luck.

Thanks, but I'm looking for reviews of the GPU (video card) block that just came out, not the CPU block that has been out for months.
