Hello dear all, this is KevinJ
I will go as well with a young cute boy clocker.
See you guys in Hongkong~
GOGO!Taiwan Team!
As of right now it's unclear whether FUGGER and I are even going. We have gotten nothing definitive from Asus on any front, forget about plane tickets.
Bad News :(Quote:

Wouldn't you need to be leaving in a couple of days to get there for the 28th? It doesn't sound too good if you don't have any info or tickets yet. That blows :(
Arf what a pity for it Gautam... Do you want me to contact Asus HQ to help you for your tickets ?
Hello all,
i ask hq for this problem
hey asus, what about polish overclockers ?
are they not good for ocing with the best ocers from the rest of the world ?
:D
While you are at it, kindly ask Asus Germany why media is not getting any information about any of the events. Thanks! :)
u guys gotta make it Gaut!Quote:

no brackets = no mounting!
no mounting = no subzero!!!!!!
we cant live without that! i think i can speak for pete also! :D
really hope u guys can make it. will ask vrzone if they can help too :)
now where's hixie!
is this Volar place at LKF good? haha~
While you're asking everyone, ask also the Belgian HQ :ROTF:Quote:

anyway i've asked visionary from vr zone to help check out the asus thingy for fugger and gaut so let us know if there is any news :)
Dear all,
normaly, this contest is only for asia team and not for europe/eu.
Some country from europe, push and push to send oceur and media to this contest, i can say you: i push every day during 2 weeks.
I fight with bigboss, and i think with national holidays, some marketing team don't have time to organize this for each country.
I hope Asus organize a contest in europe for all country (without asia team ^^) but it's just a dream .
This type of contest without all the best from each country is not a complete event.
But with or without eu/ germany etc... french team will be the winner team ^^
I hear sadly, Asus no focus for Europe :S When I asked Asus Hungary , nobody hear about this event..I hope EU will get 1 event/year in future :SQuote:

James; find the cognac and I'll see to it that no one disturbs the drinking session :D
Really looking forward to catching up with everyone I've met before and also meeting some new faces too. It should be some good fun :up:
well we have just booked into the hotel and i must say Asus have done us proud
the hotel and flights went like clockwork big thanks to Ian
the temps here are 34c if you leave the hotel:D so its real hot
we got all the cooling and hardware thro customs ok so we are good to go
here are some shots of the view form our hotel room

sacha un-packing

Looking good bazx :up:
I hope the rest of us get through customs with all of our gear without any hassles.
Also thanks for the temperature update. I was trying to decide what to pack :shrug:
34C aint THAT hot, just nicely warm :D
YP, hope ur all packed and ready?
Exactly, 34C ain't hot, it's nice and warm :D
For me it will not be much different... Mumbai is usually higher then that in summer.
BTW, our flight is at 00:30... leaving my place with Darky @ around 20:30 for Airport.
Someone please advise the :banana::banana::banana::banana: code for the TVs
Pretty sure he's ready to go Tim. Everything seems to be going smoothly and I'll be bringing the bulk of the insulation with me.
Also, just about to go to the shops to pick up some compact speakers - probably Logitech R-10 or something similar. James and I figured we'd need some benching beats :D
Well, i literally only brought a CPU and some small tools with me so you guys need to take care of the pots and everything (which yp already knows)
Me and Sampsa are heading to airport soon. See you guys tomorrow!
Damn.. 34c. When you guys see tall white guy who is sweating like crazy all the time, it's me :rofl: I will not survive 5 days :up:
No people? No cars? Where are they? :eek: Good luck to everyone.Quote:
