Call me old school but if a sled looks like crap, you will feel like it runs like crap even if it runs good.
huh? lol
function over form...means it performs better than it looks.
if anything "new school" would be the, look at my cute sled phase thats been brought upon the industry for the last few years..
but everyone does their thing for a reason. if it works for you, stick with it. -no, this isn't meant to be a smart a$$ comment either.
if my 10$ venting job on my sled works as well as the 150-250 $ vent(s)...it works for me, gets the job done.
in the end, if it works, thats what counts.
but i'm also with you...for that $$$$$$$$$$ it better look sexy. i'm fine w/ cheap looking sub par, but 47k $ better be a helluva looker. and the tunnel does look trick..
