Thankyou guys so much ,reading your comments is the best thing about making these logs XS is truly my home forum so you all get the update fresh out of the Nor'easter LAN:

First off today was wicked fun! (appropriate terminology for the nor'easter LAN) - I brought the case in and spoke with so many people looking to get into liquid cooling and case modding and just admirers of the work. I got to meet sniperbob and play cod4 with Jonathan and the other guys of rip|, we as a team took 4th place in the tournament. I am sorry to all who asked for me to take pictures, I was so busy and involved with so many things at once that it was impossible for me to have the time. I was also super tired all day - yesterday I spent 20hrs straight finishing Flow and then slept for 2.5hrs and the went to the Lan event for another 15hrs.

The Best news of all is that I won first place in the case modding competition and I am the proud victor of an intel i7 965 extreme edition CPU (something I thought I would never own) I also get a small feature article in CPU magazine and a chance to get into a 2 page spread of CPU magazine later on. about this I am extatic, just too tired to really have it all sink in yet.

and I also have made a preliminary deal with Crucial memory as a sponsor of the build as they offered to get me some nice blue ballistix tracer ddr3 to try out in the machine (not obligated to use for those who are fans of the nickel enzotech ramsinks)

cheers,

-Ian
