I thought their prices were about the same (if you factor in fully triggered MPP -- which it most likely will be).
You are correct, but i still don't consider the MPP even an option until when they give us a deadline for its shipping. From what it's written in the "contract", it could be 2015.
Ice, please tell me the sense of putting the radiators in the front of the sierra case, so that the whole board has to endure the hot output air of the radiators. I feel bad for the PCBs thinking that they will be exposed to a 1500W heater.
This is the level of proper designed cases HF has to offer.
I personally am planning on stripping my machines and putting them in cases of my own design. If I could get my order as parts a week earlier (by not shipping Canada and then back to the US)... that would be just fine with me.
