Got all my goodies modded and ready to go.
Heading to airport for 4:00am, gonna need a bit of coffee or ln2 vapors for that lol
ROM and I will be arriving around 10:30 in cali.
Really hoping to score a 580 matrix, or another 580 CU II now that mine died.
Strategy = have fun and spread the OCA benching spirit :thumbsup: Really pumped to hang with Patchie and Bren again! Very lucky guy.
Will update continuously

This is gonna be a blast! Hot damn, Al, you're a motivated man with all those cards. I'm just bringing MIVE + 2600K + my lone 580CUII. Also hoping for some sweet ASUS engineered 580 cards, but I wouldn't cry about a lesser card to play with.
Was gonna bring an 01 setup for Sat night hotel benching, but figured that with 2 long benching days there's a good chance we'll want dinner and beer instead.
I work Friday and promised my boys we'd go to Cars 2 that night so I'll be driving over early Saturday am. Since I won't be able to check in that early I'll pop by your room and wake your lazy bones up at 7am. :Hi:

Man, I'm tired! Was a blast seeing Splave and Rom again, and finally meeting Goat. Saw some familiar faces and met a lot of good guys from around the states. Was especially nice quaffing a few cold ones with Gunslinger.
We spent a good chunk of time working on a quad-sli 580 matrix setip that unfortunately didn't pan out with a completed bench. But I finally got my hands on an expander so can revisit that another day - thanks Brian!
I'll to post up a pic or 2 when I get home from work.

Bummer on the 4-way bro's, glad to hear you guys had yet another nice gathering. I hear Gunny smashed up some benches pretty good over there. Heard you guys scored some decent hardware for the travel too. Good Show gents :)

Thanks to Jonathan (Wumpus) for the pics, he is a great lad who hung with us most of the weekend. Also thanks to G man for stopping in, it was a fun weekend.
I just got back into Dallas and its so fricking hot and humid its redonkulous. I think Jesse (69 goat), Patch, Sprave and I did fairly well in the equipment draw and I know we had fun most of the weekend (when shit was workin, lol) Big thanks to Brian Jang and the whole gang from Asus, they put on a great event. I don't have allot of pics as I was pouring all weekend, but I will upload them shortly.:thumbsup:

here she is :)
perhaps a little crazy of us to go after with 4 untested cards, and board we've never used but crazy seems to work for us about %67.84 of the time so what the hell. The 2nd card sure pulled a massive load. Almost uncontrollable on slims. I think in the end it was the 1.5vGPU minimum that quashed our hopes. Please note the fan on the cpu pot is for style points not function.
