Will you be there at the next one then runn3R?

I will do my best to be there

We are getting some members from the US at the Cambridge event by the way. Very happy about that.

And I can not wait to see runn3R with the LN2 again. You lads should have seen the LN2 Meister at the LITS show - oh man was he having fun playing with the stuff.

But this time you are going to do some extreme benching with me

Hi HiVizMan,

I can see these events growing in popularity as the year goes on...good stuff HizVizMan.

Good news is that I have secured sponsorship from a international forum for these events that will significantly reduce the costs. overclockers.net will provide $500 per event. Now all I need to do is get a main stream vendor in the UK to buy into the idea of a rolling road show that will promote their product at 6 locations this year and I am good to go. Have the venues lined up just need the right kind of partners. Hint hint Gigabyte

Hi and thats good news HiVizMan.

Here's a thought.....as you all know the Olympics is taking place in the UK this year, now think how many tourists there are likely to be and how many of them will PC enthusiasts and / or be interested in such events. I would have thought Gigabyte could take advantage of this and promote overclocking events etc on its main website and managed through Gigabyte UK......excellent opportunity to promote the company and its products. There will be world records broken at the Olympics so why not promote events so overclocking records can be made also.......with Gigabyte products.

I take it that this itinery is for the Cambridge Event only ?

[teknology9]

There are plenty of manufacturers who would be interested even if Gigabyte isn't.

Exactly DM, if Aria are getting involved they can see the value of such an event.

The programme looks very good.

Thanks for the pictures HiVizMan, looks like you all had a great time

I attended the previous meet last summer and enjoyed it thoroughly, I'll try my best to get to one again this year

Good news about Overclock.net providing support for these events, I'm sure these meets will be very popular

[runn3R]

(...) I would have thought Gigabyte could take advantage of this and promote overclocking events etc on its main website and managed through Gigabyte UK(...)

We will definitely
