I kind of expected something more than just a screenie from someone with all those resourses at their disposal.
Sure, busting 5 is something few have done, but if you have Asus holding your hand and all Tom's resources...it's not as big a deal as if a lone guy in here had done it in his basement.

Tom's HW is useless...

Anyone that knows the difference between their a$$ and a hole in the ground wouldn't read anything on that site (except for pure comic value) :D

I couldn't agree more. I don't consider myself much of an OC'er but those guys at Tom's are pathetic.:D

Couldn't have said it better myself. Just like building another space shuttle would be incredible for a backyard schmo, but would hardly even make it into the major press if it was a NASA project.

I an't impressed really because the 2nd people do that to the computer it's dead due to ice foming around it and abnormal cooling.

Obviously it wasn't dead the second they started.

And was macci's chip dead after he was done? I don't think so...
