    Just went over to Team China's forum. Here is something I got back from them.

    第一位的團隊着實太誇張吧
    "The number one team is way too exaggerating."

    第一名的队伍人数跟我们差不多,但电脑数量跟性能实在太强了。
    "The number one team has almost the same amount of members as us, but they had way too much computers."

    And more reactions and faces like this:

    Team China makes my day. I love their spirit

    What I like are all the people at HardOCP saying they are joining WCG to help. This challenge may get more people crunching and maybe our numbers will inspire others to get more cores!

    We're still only about 5 mill off from the next one, might have to double our output for awhile to make up for lost time :P

    It;s funny when you see a team like Team China and have this mental image of one billion people..
    Sort of makes you feel like the 300 Spartan facing the million Persians!

    Killed a X58 motherboard today, was sliding it over on the table to hook up a kvm switch. It cut off and I could not get it to start back up. I unhooked everything and picked it up off the table, there was a razor blade laying under it, shorted it out I guess... Or I hope that is all that got killed...

    Let's not make any cutting remarks about RR, he is a pretty sharp dude and loosing a board might put him on edge.

    This rig was downstairs on a table, actually there are 3 on the tables now, 14 are upstairs in the room. I had used it to spread the TIM across one of those direct touch pipe coolers and it was laying there I guess. I was hooking the new KVM up, I hooked it to the classified on the left, then the monitor in the middle then it would not reach the other rig, so I grabbed it and slid everything over radiator/pump/PSU/MB all at once. I did not have a MB box under this one it was just on the table. I guess I was in a big hurry and did not see the razor blade laying there amongst other stuff, I thought I had gotten everything out the way.

    Lesson learned ! Always be a hack the right way, with a motherboard box underneath the naked cruncher !

    I bleached a spot in my carpet with the heat from a VRM once.
