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

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 :)
