Yeah i've got a couple CPUs, some memory (kingston and corsair - in case we can't use anything other than kingston) but most importantly the speakers have been bought and are working fine :D:ROTF::clap::up:Quote:

I just saw on Rome TV the forecast for monday is 36C.
Taiwan has a low pressure system heading towards it.
Have fun guys! :D
hixie, I expect at least 50 pics posted here per day :P
For the European guys: I heard some rumours about a event one week after the event in Hong Kong. It takes place in Valencia, that's pretty much all I know.
Just back from the party with my friends, one of the preparation for the next four day. see you guys tomorrow. ^^
Arrrgghhh we're still stuck up here in Indonesia bro,... We'll go there at 3pm today... meet You there...
Nah mate. I need my luggage to be as light as possible as I want to bring some things back on the way home :yepp:Quote:

Can you get Canadian Club in HK or should I bring some from Aus? One of the best drinks ever = Canadian Club + Creaming Soda. It's sooooooo good.
I believe pro gets his flight some time about now out of Adelaide and I'll be leaving early Sunday morning. No idea where the heck in the world Tim is at the moment :confused: :rolleyes:
Looking forward to seeing my Team.AU brothers as well as my global overclocking brothers soon too! It should be awesome :D
Does anyone know where dinner will be at on Saturday? I'd like to drop by and meet everyone and join you for the outing to Lan Kwai Fong. My cell is 61233888 and feel free to call me.

canadian club? oOO never heard of so no idea! havana club yes! haha~Quote:

last i knew tim was in vienna still~
i've got my flight in about 2 hrs time so see ya guys there!
Good luck guys.. and go Team.AU ! :D
I won't be in HK until Sunday afternoon. There's a few guys that have already made it to HK and youngpro should land this afternoon too so perhaps send out some PMs? Otherwise, there's nothing else I can think of to help the situation :confused:Quote:

I think we spent the whole time just wasted hahaha.
I might have a small taster/sampler bottle of the 12 year old Canadian Club stocked away in my room. If I do, I'll bring it with me ;) :D
Heheh, a big ol' +1 to that! :up:Quote:

My head hurts... it really, really hurts - 36 hours with no sleep, lots of alcohol and a plane trip home :doh:
Finally home and feeling utterly destroyed but was fun spending the large majority of the time drunk and messing about with everyone :D
My camera was taken back to Aus by my colleague Nick so I'll get the photos in the next day or two when I get a chance to catch up with him and will post then :up:
Cheers to everyone for a great couple of days and a wild experience. No doubt the stories and happenings of the event (and of the evenings) will filter out with pics to match. Thanks for the crazy times :toast:
Team.AU not so great 'sucksess' :(
8M hampered by a 5.5GHz chip (compared to some 5.8GHz+ ppl) - 3 points
3D'01 hampered by a bugged install - 0 points
Vantage reasonable - 20 points
2nd day Team.AU + Portugal for some SLI '01 (bugged) and Vantage (ran out of time) fun :D
All in all it was a :banana::banana::banana::banana:load of fun, and extremely tiring for all who joined us for our 4am drinking sessions both competition nights.
WAN CHAI!

Imagine my shock when it took them only seconds subsequently to fire up setFSB, set 5.9GHz, then 6.0GHz, then 6.18 and then 6.2+, all in the snap of a finger. duck-san seemed a little disappointed when his first try of PiFast at a cool 6242MHz errored out. :lol: FUGGER has pics of multiple runs they made at 6.27, and even 6.3GHz and beyond.
I was standing there drooling in disbelief the whole time, felt like my eyes couldn't have been telling me the truth, but they were.
The ln2 replenishment while Gautam, Jmax, and FUGGER replenish with ln2 instead of me, and a detailed temperature that how survives is managed means the interruption of the bench.
Team Japan expresses gratitude to all the people who helped while challenging in the second day:up:
