Projects -Steve
I like sharing my goofy little projects with you guys, hopefully it will
spawn a few ideas or help somone out who might be having the same issues
or problems I had. I took a speaker off of a crusty old Sanyo boombox
that was used out in the garage, and converted it to an external
radiator shroud / housing that matched my black Lian Li case. The fan is
an A/C 120 fan so that the whole unit is independent.

Two days left to get in on the $100 a day from CompUSA contest. This
will bring up the Nintendo Street Team interviews and corresponding
giveaways. I will know more soon on what we will have for giveaways, but
we are looking at GameCubes and ( maybe ) Games. Very nice. I am mapping out
a modded GameCube project too, it will definitely be a one of a kind,
awesome mod...comparable
to the World
First ( and only ) Water Cooled Xbox we did here some time
ago. I also am working on some more autographed games for a giveaway
for you guys too...heh, who loves ya guys?!?! Me.
New
"A-Day Contest" -Steve
O.K. your friend and mine, CompUSA,
has decided to sponsor a little contest action on Hypothermia to show
some support to the community ( you guys ). This week I have seven
$100.00 Gift Certificates that can be used at any CompUSA location
nation wide for anything your heart desires. Pretty slick now ain't it??
I know there are a lot of the "Computer Super Stores" out
there vying for your hard earned dollar, but CompUSA has just moved up a
notch or two in my eyes for sponsoring this contest. I know how you guys
like free stuff, and the companies who support these contests. . . so
maybe we'll see a little support from other companies like Software Etc.
/ Babbages or maybe Circuit City and Fry's. I'd even be tickled to see
some online retailers like NewEgg.com get involved....if you guys know
anyone at these stores, send them my direction.
ENTER
HERE!!
For everyone asking about
the 21" Monitor I am supposed to have, it's coming.
. . I am still waiting on the unit, but it is coming. I get so busy
sometimes I can't get back to everyone on time and keep track of this
stuff. Let me find out what the status of the monitor is and then I will
update you guys on the review. So hold off on all the mail until I hear
something back...SHEESH you guys  !!
Celebrity
Update -Steve
I am growing a decent list of celebrities that visit Hypothermia
regularly which is hella coo. So I was talking with Asia about an
article in which Shaquille O'Neal happened to mention he watches her
movies, a quick check with the office of Perry Rogers, his agent and
sure enough Shaq is a fan of ours. SWEET.
So I thought it might be a
good idea to get something autographed and use it for a giveaway to you
guys. You know, like maybe this big fat monsta size 22 basketball shoe,
personally autographed. I'm not sure if I'll be able to part with the
shoe, but something along those lines.

Nintendo Street Team interviews are coming up, we have 3 GameCubes and
some games to give away during the Nintendo interviews...great stuff. I
am working on doing more than one Street Team interview since everyone
has expressed such a big interest in this. And YES, I
know..."It's about time I started doing Nintendo
contests"....whew...I have gotten a ton of "Took you long
enough..." mail over the last week since I announced the Street
Team interviews.
I also have two left over
motherboards from the last contest, so I will see if I can't turn those
into Combo Packages by smacking a processor / memory in them and have a
separate giveaway for those.

Going to pick the winners from the latest "A Day Contest" and
notify everyone, be checking your in-boxes!!! If it is from
Hypothermia...don't trash it!! On a very cool related note, I have been
talking with the Nintendo reps about not only helping out with this
upcoming interview prizes, but establishing a relationship to bring you
guys more Nintendo related content. So for everyone who has bugged me
for years to start getting more Nintendo coverage rolling...your wish
has been granted. Hey...maybe a I'll do a super cool mod on a GameCube...mmmm,
sweet.
Fun Stuff -Steve
I have an interview with one of the Nintendo Street Team coming up, it
will be fun to pick her brain about what it's like to get $100 a day for
playing games....I also scored 3 Nintendo Game Cubes to go along with
the interview, sort of a bonus from Nintendo...score. I also have the
case in for the Killer Gaming Rig 7. If you want to see one of the
coolest things on the planet...then check out this case from ClearView
Technologies. The case glows under fluorescent lighting but the
ADDED bonus is the way it glows just sitting in normal light. I took a
picture of the case sitting on the kitchen counter with no
flash....check it out.
Asia Update -Steve
Asia sends her love from sunny and warm ( heh...o.k., cloudy and rainy,
but we can pretend can't we? ) England. Hypothermia's Goddess of Geek is
abroad for a few weeks and she sent this pic for you guys. Heh... Asia
abroad...get it? Asia, A Broad....nevermind. At least I didn't do a
"Asia Stoned" joke.

CPU Magazine
-Steve
I have always been a big MaximumPC reader, but I like to expand my
horizons etc. so I tried out a newer magazine called CPU ( Computer
Power User ) and magazine aimed straight at the enthusiast and
overclocker crowd. I was more than a little flattered when I was asked
to write a 7 page watercooling article for them a few months ago. If you
want to check out a FREE
ISSUE of CPU Magazine, hit this link and sign up for a free
trial of the magazine, you get monthly columns from the best of the best
in the computer industry, as well as some really cool articles done by
people throughout the community...like me.

It has begun!!! I picked a few random readers for our Mouse Bungee
giveaway to wrap that up, and I have officially kicked off the Mobo-A-Day
giveaway!!!. The last time I
did a motherboard a day contest was back when we gave away seven ABIT
motherboards. This time around, we have a bunch of boards to choose from
on a "first win - first choice" basis. Next contest will be
for the seven $100.00 gift certificates from CompUSA. Cool stuff...easy
to win.
GET IN IT TO WIN IT!!!!

Getting ready to roll out the motherboard contest starting Tuesday, And
remember... I
have some monitor review action coming up the fine folks at Monitors Direct...let
me know what you think of this bad ass unit here, it is your
input that counts. I have notified all of the Mouse Bungee winners, but
I still have a few unclaimed packages...so check your mail box to see if
you are a winner, and if not...keep entering, I'll chose new winners
when I start the new contest. CompUSA has also graciously decided to
sponsor an upcoming "One A Day Contest" by donating seven
$100.00 gift certificates that can be used at ANY CompUSA location. How
is that for cool...a $100.00 a day from CompUSA ( hey...that rhymes ) .
