Time to post in the love shack/dating forum/oc thread.

Haven't benched this year and prolly won't in the future. It was a blast, especially the away competitions with team mates, but it was getting to the point where I would have had to seriously step up the time commitment to take it further. And I was already spending too much time away from the family.

So now I'm hanging out more with the wife and kids. Got a dog. Getting in shape. And using the $20K/year hardware budget I was blowing on a new hobby with much better resale value - original art. Really looking forward to the painting I commissioned from Julie Bell. :)

Keep ripping it up guys! And if anybody finds themselves near San Francisco and wants Elano's old dual stage Cascade for cheap, let me know.

Hey hey hey :D
Nice hearing from yah Patch :good: can't argue with that re-allocation of personal time and money but don't be a stranger! Stop by once in a while to see what kikicoco does next in his personal life or see the great sexual predator advice by Maaadaaawg.

I'll be back in the bench scene soon as construction is done on the new extension here. I'm gonna slip into the 2nd/3rd recent generation hardware arena to stave off the 20k a year budget requirements of bleeding edge overclocking and focus on crusty scab overclocking :blush: instead.

I'll slip "Retired Legend" into your user title :taunt:

Also, none of you guys do old tech. So even if you have the equipment, chances are somebody on my team will get by you.:D

All I can add to that is stay away from Socket 754 - Or you'll get :owned2: :D

Seriously, the older stuff is kinda fun and cheap to get IF you know where to look. Here's a site I've got some of my "Older" chips from.

http://www.starmicroinc.net/

Just be sure to read the descriptions carefully and also watch those prices, some are really good, some are really crazy, stay away from the crazy deals and you'll be OK.

I have no access to the camera right now, but i'll take a picture of what i got the other day XD
it's a ebay thing and it was like 35 shipped and it contains 81 different 775 chips i've always been a 775 fan (not saying i am any good at it) out of those 81 chips there is a few doa but also found a few chips i may beable to hit a better score than what i already have :D

Good to hear from you Patch. Good luck with you new hobby.

Good to here from you Patch, hope the future takes you where you are going, have fun enjoy life and stop in every now and then.............. :thumbsup:
