A Small Benching Party coming up at Buckeye's
 
I thought I would make a post on a little gathering of a few people I have planned coming up on the weekend of the 25th.

This will be at my home so somewhat limited space and resources, it will not be a Team Finland, XS or Kinpgin style benching event but still it will be a lot of fun :taunt:

The plan is right now to bench with the 2 Stage Cascade and LN2. I have a AMD TWKR cpu here now for others to get a chance to bench on, plus my Classified and Core I7 chips and other goodies that might be brought down for fun.

I do have a very special item coming which I made a few hints at and I am very excited about that, stay tuned for more info on it. Eta for that is end of next week, early part of the week after, hopefully sooner. This is a very exciting benching tool and something that is just way to cool LOL.

Invites have gone out and I will post up some names here soon, a few more are still working on it or thinking about it.

So my first bench party will be happing soon and I am very much looking forward to it !

Stay tuned for more info !

Chuchnit 07-11-2009 09:47 AM

So can you give us a teaser of who's gonna be there? Maybe a short list?

Buckeye 07-11-2009 10:03 AM

It's still a ways off and I believe a few are making plans but it will be hard for them. I don't want to put any pressure on them incase they can't make it. They can post if they want to.

There are 3 others in the trying to make it Q

So as it stands now... Shannon, Jake - Cpt Planet and a friend of Jakes from what he said, not 100% sure on the friend.

That would be 6 people including myself, not sure if I can fit anymore in my benching area if all show up.
