Oskar Wu @ DFI ** XS Exclusive **
DFI was kind enough to escort me over to DFI headquarters and meet with Oskar Wu in his lab, once again no picture taking allowed.
DFI is located close to the new convention center being built in Taipei, quite a distance from where we were exhibiting.
This is the world famous Oskar Wu in his lab where he was maticulasly working on the P35 Lanparty board. We talked about old boards and new boards, design changes and what we would like to see.
He is 28 years old and one of the finest engineers known to be working on our performance boards so enjoy the rare images of Oskar from his lair.

Oh my good a picture with the legendary Oscar Wu 
That guy is so good in bios engineering that I even doubt he really exist in real life - he is like an urban legend !!
Great Charles, that's another big scoop for XS 
Any reason to not post this on scoop on the public part of XS ??

Thanks for the pics. I didn't realize he was only 28. Seems like he's been in the motherboard business forever.

That makes some sense, if I remember Oskar Wu came from Abit, so that may remember to Oskar his former employer

I can see it now:
NEWS FLASH!
An International incident occured due to a local Las Vegas man wearing the wrong T Shirt while on a tour of a Taiwanese business.
Taiwan has severed diplomatic relations with the US and is now preparing for war. The US is at DEF-CON2..
When questioned,the man involved, Charles Wirth, simply said:
"Ain't they got a sense of humor?" 
Then he was led away by unnamed intelligence officals..........

I love how you can spot the gamecube and DVD players in the background.
I wish my job was that relaxed.

Hopefully he will post at least in this section every now and then. I am pretty sure he could give us some good advice with some settings or other things.

If he was born in 77 he would be 29-30, as that was the year I was born and I will be 30 soon.
