nice pics and write up Andrew. Was really good to meet everyone there. I will be back next year ;)
Hope fully see you again before then :)
-
Excellent event - thx to everyone that joined. ;D
We had some good scores, even when using AIR.
This must be down to the quality build of the Gigabyte X58 boards - especially the 2oz Copper :P
Serious, thx for the support.
-
If Benchtec had submitted the 3DM06 result to HWB, it would have been bronze for the GTX260-216! The GPUs overclock like crazy!
Thanks again for inviting us! Hope to be at next years event- maybe even see the Gigabyte staff at another event before then?
:D
Cheers!

Nice work 3rd! Given the time limit too I am sure you could have done better! I just got my UD4P and PSU etc dropped off today as I was on my moped :P
That was alot of fun, hope to do it again once I have tried LN2 / dice
-
Is anyone using the Ghost mouse they got? I think it is much smoother than the G5 I had, and obviously more dpi :P
-
the mouse model name is GM-M8000. pls feel free to share your experience here if you have one
(http://forum.giga-byte.co.uk/upload/files/mouse.jpg)
-
Has is been released yet? I am not using the mouse pad at the moment (simply to big for my desk!!!) but it has a better resolution than my old gaming mouse and it handles games better than the old one :)
-
yes this mouse is available in UK already
-
Nice mouse. Will we see it being used at the GOOC?
-
GM-M8000 is so impress me, and I want it, but it only available in UK, i'm from Asia! :-\
