Man I wish I coulda been there but I had to save the cash for hardware ;)
You guys rock! :D

Sweetness. Wish I could have been there too.

thanks for all the support guys

Congrats guys, everyone I've talked to said it was a great event. Wish I were there.

yeah it was very chill and professional ftw :)

nice write up. Bren Looks so intense

Good call Jerry. Can't lie, both Allen and I wanted to bring this one home in a serious way. Glad it all worked out. Those two are top notch overclockers and great friends. I sure hope that we can get an OCA event going for winter CES in Vegas the first week of Jan. '11. Kal and I are kickin it around right now,...It has the potential to be absolutely legendary though.

Oh and thanks to Gautam for the congrats, don't be a stranger bud.

Love the Vegas event idea mate! This would be sweet! :thumbsup:

Vegas would be awesome I can tell you right now.. I might be able to afford going out there... I cant afford Vegas though!!! LOL Jan.. I can save up for...
(it is cool.. I grew up around casinos no gambling here)

BTW.. in the pics who is that skinny childlike version of Vince? (LOL NM it is Vince :s)


Congrats to you guys for bringing home the win!!! (Like we had any doubt)

Edited post #119 so all of you will know what my fat ass looks like.;)

Man you took your TapOut hat off! ;):D

Only for you guys. That hat is now reserved for only the most important engagements.

Agreed! :D;)

Wonder what this is about http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=258040

hahahahahaha :taunt:

No need for an Official hwbot account, my account is for rent ;)

I think darth has brian convinced to do this case modding deal. Totally not my thing lol

eric actually came up with the initial idea and i made it into what it is right now. The purpose is to promote rampage iii gene for its small form factor. and how can we really show form and function? to do overclocking and a bit of case modding. there are a million ways to reduce weight in a case or even make a case super light weight. just think strategy and loop holes =P its limited to air and water only. since we are scoring on weight as well, youll have to decide if its smarter to go air or water. decisions decisions... start prepping!

actually splave and romdom cant compete for this one =P

Feel free to start a new thread on the second round Brian. I'm certain there will be tons of questions here and at xs. For instance Natural Ambient temperatures vs a/c cold rooms. Open bench tables vs actual enclosed cases etc.

Not my thing either, but this should have very broad appeal.

:toast: thanks time to focus on benching! :thumbsup:

lightweight is the easy part. threaded rod chassis FTW!!

Thanks for hosting it though...We (Al and I) shouldn't dominate all of the time:cool3: I know that aesthetics will play a big part in this contest as well as weight and performance.
Can I get a big AMEN BROTHER! So totally ready to do that.

Carbon Fiber fabrication FTW :D

if you really wanted to win you could use Carbon Nano Tubes and build a case that is also the heatsink :D

CNT have the same thermal conductivity as CBN and natural Diamond (2400w/m-K) about 6x better than Copper or Silver. Dont forget to use Graphene as your TIM and remove the CPU IHS to reduce overall system weight!

I hope yall have some friends at MIT :D

i'm already thinking of setting up my p55 and my i5-680 with a >>>>>>>>>secret hardware>>>>>

:)

i wanna have a reason to go to cali ..lol

too bad the prizes aren't as good as quakecon...

shouldn't we be talking on anutha thread?????????????
