Took me a little to figure it out. But, omg, CNC'd? Nice man! Looks pretty detailed/small too (though i have no idea b/c no size reference).
 
WTG Nate!

You are looking at 500 lines of G-Code to make that 4" or so figure of the Road runner.  It came with the software.  I am trying to learn what all the code means- I know some, but still a long way off.  I threw a dremel bit in it and let it do its thing. 
 
...and now its 7am, and my daughter has no intentions of letting us sleep. 

Wow Nate that is nice! Wanna make me one?
 
I have a funny feeling I may not need that Power Boost.. I think my parents ordered me an E762 from Tigerdirect for my birthday. Cause I got the page up for them and then handed them the laptop and left for the bathroom, came back and they're talking about how a mail in rebate works and credit card info, give me the laptop back and it's on the email.. As if they were checking for an order confirmation. 

this is crap... i think i blew one if my cards this morning >< 
 
bloody thing has been getting artificial temp spikes (450c+) and then the fan went well over 100% this morning. i thought it flew to peices the whole comptuter desk was vibrating lol. 
 
than i shutdown my game and the temp kept rising well over 100c
 
it throttled itself and shutdown
 
 
i changed out the thermal paste and cheked everything over and now its idles at 60c
 
ahhh life is good...... im putting the gygabye one back in now.... stoopid evga card
 

Ahh that sucks sounds like you need an RMA.
 
 
 
Btw, they left the email on today and I see an order confirmation for an E762 from tigerdirect. NICE!!!!!!!!

gratz bru, its an awesome board... mine is awesome anyway
 
 
also the cards seems to have come good and i know why it was idleing hot. it seems the 2 monitor bug affects sli, basically 2 cards 2 monitors 1 monitor in each card and the 2nd card doesnt clock down
 
turn sli off it it works fine go figure

I know I'm so excited.
 
Didn't even consider the dual monitor problem. Forgot there was that issue with multi monitors not downclocking. Good thing you figured it out.
