We are doing limited
production runs of [H]ardOCP hats, these are pretty damn nice, one size
fits all. The hats will sell out in less than a day...two max. But from
time to time we will make hats available for sale. I am kicking around
the idea of Hypothermia hats...not for sale, but as giveaway items.
Maybe I will do shirts first and then hats, we will see how it goes.

Sponsorship -Steve
A huge thank you goes out to the fine folks at ATI
for stepping up and sponsoring the Killer Gaming Rig #8, making sure
that the baddest computer giveaway on the planet, also has the baddest
video card on the planet, the Radeon 9700 Pro.
Here are some new spiral
blocks for you guys to feast your eyes on. I am putting together a large
water block round-up and these plopped into my lap. Good stuff, have a
look. I'll have them reviewed soon and let you know how they
perform.

I am kicking off the latest "One-A-Day" contest with out
Corsair-A-Day DDR Memory Giveaway! Sweet... I have a nice shiny stick of
DDR memory to give away each day for the next five days. This'll give
you guys something to do in while you are waiting to see if you have won
that ass kicking Killer Gaming Rig #8. Hit the link to win!!!
Weekend
Stuff -Steve
We have some Corsair
memory to give away in our next "One A Day" contests starting
this week. We would also like to welcome Yamaha
as a sponsor of our contests and giveaways here at Hypothermia.
Something to keep in mind, the companies you see offering prizes for our
contest are some of the best companies in the business...they receive
nothing for their donations, other than the recognition for being a
company that gives back to the people that support them...you guys.
Oddly enough, these are things I keep in mind when I buy new products,
cause I sure as hell won't give my money to companies that never give
back to the community...that's for sure.

Only three more Friday's left before I chose a lucky winner for the
Killer Gaming Rig #8. I have listed the current specs, and I only have a
handful of items left to round up, so get in it the contest and win
something dammit!!
Fun Stuff -Steve
This unit is for testing, not for contest or giveaway...but how many
people here would like to see a VapoChill on the next Killer Gaming Rig,
or maybe a sub-zero PC giveaway all together? Shoot
me a line and let me know.
Aluminum fans coupled with a
chrome radiator sure makes for a very nice looking setup for your water
cooled system, does it not? I like to mount my radiators externally, so
it is extremely important for my stuff to look as good as it performs.
10.20.02 -Steve
I have been bombed with "HOW THE HELL..."
questions about water cooling a GameCube. Almost every single person
seems to think it will be impossible. Well, here are two pictures that
will help everyone see it will be far easier than you think. I have a
dual pump reservoir set up, and a cooling plate that will replace the
"All-In-One" heatsink that covers the processor-video-memory,
and a few tricks up my sleeve with the radiator fan setup that will
allow me to put everything in a 4" add-on. Sweet.
10.17.02 -Steve
We have a little DDR Memory action coming your way in the next one a day
for a week contest. The great people at Corsair
are kicking in and hooking you guys up with some of the best memory on
the planet. Nice....hmmm, what other stuff would you guys like to see
given away? Processors next? Video cards again? Power supply? What do
you guys really want to see given away?
Xbox Lan
Action -Steve
You know, not enough can be said about a little Xbox Lan Action on the
weekends. When you are laid up like me, and setting up a real LAN takes
too much effort, an Xbox LAN hits the spot. My friends Justin and Chad
usually pack up their stuff and head over, we set it up to where
everyone has their own big T.V. to game on, and we kick a little Halo
ass, or just demo all the new games. Pretty damn fun.
Something everyone asks is
how I play the Xbox on the PC, well it's easy. with an Xbox A/V Pack you
run the audio into a splitter cable then into the microphone jack on
your sound card. You run the S/Video cable into your GeForce4 S/Video IN
header. Make sure you have the NVIDIA WDM drivers installed. Use
Intervideo Wincoder to view the incoming signal, and you are set.
Projects -Steve
My top secret GameCube project is coming along nicely as well...I'm
waiting on a few custom components then maybe I'll share a few pictures.
I am also revamping the Water Cooled Xbox mod, I have a dead Xbox on the
way from Kyle and I have big plans for it....stay tuned.
Contest
Updates -Steve
Finally got the last of the "RMA a Day" stuff shipped to the
winners...and for the first time in a very long time, all prizes were
claimed within the time limit, and not a single dead e-mail address.
Imagine that...whoa. We have some memory coming up as a big giveaway
here soon...and I'll have the KGR 8 info updated soon too.
