Nice :)
Good luck!
One thing I think is fun though is "They will stop at nothing to claim the throne of Champion overclocker", no one can claim a shiat while its one of these events with no initial qualification.

Sanko and me are going..see u guys there:)

See you there :) Any list of all attendants?

See you guys there! I won't be participating but i can get there within 30 minutes :rofl:

Me and Sampsa will be there!

See you guys then!

T_M you are going, damn... would have been nice to drink a few beers again :) I need to be at Assembly to prepare so can't join in Hong Kong :(

SF3D dont forget you need to sleep on the flight back ;) you are going directly to Hartwall Arena Assembly to overclock for a few more days when you get back home to Finland :D

You gotta love how 3DMark06 and Vantage WR's are part of the planned agenda. :p:

Dang Marcus, when i saw an Asus comp i immediately thought you'd be there...... :(

The attendee list just keeps getting better, looking forward to meeting you Finlandians especially since i arrived in Singapore just after Sampsa left.
