So... I am on the attendees list right ?... doing what I can on getting there but I may also need a place to spend the late night/early morning of the 10th and that night too... Though we will need to hound E a bit to get me out there as I found a great flight there and back that I would only miss 4 hours of work!

I am working on what I can for any prizes and I have some things in mind... :D :p:

Man... if that wasn't the weekend I'm supposed to go back to school I would definitely be putting off building another comp for a chance to get out there. But on the other hand I just found I have like free access to liquid nitrogen, helium, and oxygen because a family friend is a distributor so I can at least start to have fun by myself...

orbitz has some flights for $350 for my airport. Looks like fugger's place is right by the airport. should'nt be hard to find. I could'nt find "The Strip" on the map in relation to XS, but i dont know what street i'm looking for. Looks like XS is in the outskirts of vegas. The Lot next door has a desert look to it haha. Should be a really fun event. Cpt Planet will probably amuse everyone with his LN2 tricks lol

It will be fantastic event!!
Resurrected OPPAINTER!!!! :shocked:

BTW how we can send questions for OPPAINTER? Is he still checking his PM?

I obviously can't attend on this short notice (it's like 3-6 months to get visa for Polish like me ...) :(

Have a good fun!

The airport is just at the south end of the strip, it's in stone's throw distance of the strip

his office is a few miles at most from airport, and it's not really in the desert..that is just kinda of an commercial building area they all look empty around here like that.

Unless ofcourse someone wants to sponsor me? :up::p:

The_Overclocker
12-21-2008, 04:42 AM
I rather think we're duty bound to report on this.

Maybe I can get Intel to sponsor us to CES - they've done it before.

If only there was someone there who could pull strings ;)

Though he's probably still grumpy at me for this month's cover.

Actually, if you're reading this, Mr Who?, how about a guest column next month on the overclockability of the 965 extreme??? Will email.

So if you'll have both AMD and Intel at the event would it be possible to have a side by side overclocking competition with Fugger OC'ing an i7 and Macci/Sampsa doing a Deneb?.. And after that the good doctor "?" might explain which parts of the Deneb were disabled? :p:

I'm trying to figure out how to bring my i7-965 rig JUST to see what you guys can get out of it vs what I did.
I'm a plodder and I admit it. I'd love to see what people with skills can get out of the same machine I worked on.
I wonder if the airlines would give me grief bring the MB,chip and memory.
I assume someone out there has a TRUE so I don't have to lug that also.:D

I'll let you out of this if you bring a dual gainstown board and top cpu's for it to CES..
No, you don't have to show benches in front of AMD..
Just set up in a back room and let me see what it will do for 15 minutes!

I was thinking something a little better in resolution than a web cam.
On this idea:

Stick a 2.5-6x lens on that and beautiful for close ups or out to 50ft easy.
Maybe 1-4 of the sony's I use for surveylance systems broadcasting to a web page. The capabilities to do that are in the software and I could send technically up to 16 camera shots on a split screen to a web page but 4 would be a better target number.
Now if you have a web page and address for me we could make this work..
I could pack everything I need into a suitcase, capture card and cameras, and get some coax and 18G for power in Vegas when I get there.

You shouldnt post those gigabyte chicks. Now i'm definently coming if you know what i mean:shocked: I get lucky round trip arifare is only $120 from SaltLake.
I love driving in though the scenery is really nice while you comedown from Utah to Vegas. And the best thing is to drive at night, it's like you driving in a middle of nowhere in the desert and then all of a sudden you can see huge lights from 30 miles away.

so you are going?? Are you sure your old heart can handle it? I'm not worried about the booth girls either, i'm worried about the HW for your cardiovasc. systems sake.

Too bad I start my new job on the 5th of Jan... if CES was a bit later I would be able to go.

Movieman, what is your luggage allowance?
I regularly fly internationally with a suitcase filled with mobos, vids, coolers, pots etc.
So long as you stick to the weight limit (pffft - im always 30kg+) there cant be any problems (unless amercians think that PC's are dangerous too now? :P)

@ Jasmine, im sure you will do well and you have the full support of the community, so no need for nerves!

Actually, it seems like flights and hotel rooms aren't that hard to come by this year. Even though the spam from companies hasn't stopped for the last two months, there are rumors of some companies pulling out at the last minute too due to the economic situation. Heck, several hotels STILL have discounted rates for CES attendees.

What I am trying to say is if there is a will, there is a way.

You'll do fine. Us computer enthusiast types can't tell the difference between a good party and a bad one, so long as most of the following ingredients are present.

-Sci-fi
-Computers
-Liquid nitrogen
-Lovely (single) ladies
-Food
-Booze
-Music

That's the components of a good party for computer *nerds*. Lucky enough, we bring 3-4 of those with us. Just make sure Intel, AMD, and Gigabyte bring more booth babes--we'll be fine! :ROTF:

By the way--I'll see about total expense. Any WCG'ers want to room with me? :D

Good luck driving there (or flying) in this snow storm. My wife just called me to tell she is stranded on I-89 right now.

I had to drive back from the airport on Friday in the middle of a flogging snow storm! It took 2 hours for a trip that typically takes 30 minutes in heavy traffic. I was lucky though--90% of flights were canceled and many travelers were seeking refuge in local h(/m)otels.

He says that if I listen to him talk 90% of the time time, the other 10% of the time I can enjoy complete and total silence.:D

Who knew that when he said complete and total silence, he meant going deaf?:confused:

Oh well--it's better than hearing him speak for hours on end!:rofl:

Better buy a reasonably priced PhenomII then wait 9 months for Intel to release its i5 platform. A platform that performs less then I7, and is already as good as finished or could be finished by now. Intel releasing i5 next year September instead of January doesn't really put a smile on my face.

Or buy a i7-920 now for what? $300? and how many are doing close to 4GHz?
Can't beat that with a stick now can you..:D
Or if the price of the boards is too high a Q9550 with a P35 based board for under $200 makes a hell of a system.

I did that back in 2001. I drove to New York City on new years eve in my Chevrolet cavalier and slept in my car. I got on TV on times square and watched the ball drop. Best time i ever had. I called my mom from NYC and told her to record the whole ":banana::banana::banana::banana: Clark's New Years Eve" Event and what do ya know? I was on there for 12 seconds when they interviewed me. I'm from the middle of Kentucky so it was a very long drive. and very cold

We have been working all week in preparation for this event - not to be missed.

Hardman, Macci, Sampsa, SF3D, TITON, myself and others have been working on extreme demonstrations pushing the limits of AMD Phenom II on Dragon Technology.

We will be doing some challenging and experimental work which we will demonstrate at the event - hope you are there to be a part of it.

AMD is coming with extra amenities to make the event as great as it can be.

Thanks everyone. See you in Vegas.
