Definitely sounds interesting...I can't wait until the reviewers get one running to see how much positive energy helps in running a computer.

Enjoy,

Ha, thats awesome. Not really sure how it works though....

By the way, isn't "Chi" actually spelt Qi? :think:

Well I don't know about that. This product? Definitely. But Feng Shui? Real Feng Shui (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feng_shui)? Meh, who knows for sure. You have to keep an open mind about things otherwise you'll never learn new things or learn that things you once thought to be impossible aren't impossible at all.

I mean hell, look at some of the branches of Science, like quantum physics. That **** just blows my freaking mind.

What the #$*! Do We Know!? is a pretty crazy film to watch if you want something that will open up your mind and think about crazy things you've never thought about before. Note: Watch with a grain of salt. It presents itself as a factual movie, but its not. I like it mainly because it gets you thinking, not because its true or anything.

"Reviewers at several websites were unable to get the motherboard to power up in any configuration. Fengtek technical support said this would allow more time for meditation."

Hire 3 Feng Shui professionals to redecorate your home, they'll all come up with different versions (Can you tell I've been watching penn and teller's bull****?). I may believe it at a later stage, but I can't believe it currently.

Quantum Science is still relatively new, but I LOVE it.

As for that movie, not sure if we have it in Australia.

Agreed, the principles behind it has some merit. Having organized and well laid out living/workspaces definately has it's benefits but the whole thing is overhyped.

I'm not going to call Feng Shui a load of crap -- but designing a mobo like that is pretty... strange.

I really think board designs like this could take off...Feng Shui aside the layout just makes more sense ;)

Actually, now I'm seeing a lot of cases that the motherboard goes into upside down, just not BTX cases.

Yeah, the upside-down theory was sound, but the center-CPU, one-giant-cooler idea was crap, particularly considering that it oh-so-conveniently was harder to use with AMD processors because of the distance specified from the CPU to the memory... of course, some companies went ahead and did it anyway (Gateway, did you have to? Seriously?)

The image looks a bit fake... I don't know if it's the quality of the image (or lack thereof) or if it's the just angle it was taken at, but it looks as though it is not legit.
