Water Sports
-Steve
I posted up a little waterblock
roundup at HardOCP, good stuff, you'll definitely want to
take a look. I have also updated the reviews
page. On the subject of water cooling, we have a little info on
the upcoming external water cooling set ups by Koolance called the EXOS.
Very cool stuff, you can basically set it right on top of your existing
system run the lines in ( without modification to your case ) and you
are set. Here's a peek.
Killer
Gaming Rig 8 -Steve
It's here folks, the Killer Gaming Rig #8. We will have system specs ( what
we have so far ) listed soon...in the mean time, get in it to win
it. ENTER THE CONTEST HERE.
09.30.02 -Steve
The hardest part about doing a "Killer Gaming Rig" contest is
constantly trying to one up yourself...you can't exactly call it the KGR
if the specs are lower than the previous contest...now can you? Coming
up with a system that can put the KGR7 a 3GHz,
GeForce4 Ti4600 system to shame isn't easy, but we did it. I
have the foundation for the KGR 8 ready, and all I need to do is round
up the remaining components. Contest opens October 1st.

RMA
A DAY CONTEST is
almost over, only eight days left so get in it to win it. On a side
note, I am looking for a digital camera, mine is on its last legs,
anyone have one for sale or trade, I am interested....shoot
me a line if you got a camera you are interested in
getting rid of.
Geek Gals
Rule -Steve
Breaking out the camera and catching Goddess
of Geek upgrading the war room is always interesting...you
have to admit, a woman and her hardware is the ultimate turn on.
Memory With
Muscle -Steve
Corsair is kicking in with some more goodies for an upcoming "A
Day" contest, but they also sent over some cool stuff like these
"Memory With Muscle" tattoos. I have been including these with
all of our contest giveaways...here I am modeling one of the tattoos.
09.19.02 -Steve
The contest is going great, this is the longest running "A
Day" contest we have done to date. We have some interview action
coming up with someone all of you know from CNN / Head Line News, very
cool stuff. We also have Yamaha onboard as a Killer Gaming Rig #8
sponsor, if you haven't seen their new Disc T@2 technology, you really
need to see it. Very cool...

O.K. I am seriously needing some input here, I want you to look at this
monitor here, and then
compare it to this
monitor here, and tell me what you think...honestly about
these monitors and why. These are two new monitors being offered by
Monitors Direct, and I want your unbiased opinion of each after you
check them out and see which one appeals to you the most. Cool? Go look
and tell me what you think.
Now...ENTER
THE CONTEST!!
UT2K3 Demo -Steve
I have been playing a little online when I can sit still / lay down long
enough to play the new UT2003
Demo. Keep your eye out for me, I'll surely be keeping one out
for you....like my newfound bro MeXPuNk3r.
September
11th Remembered -Steve
I thought it would be appropriate to commemorate the first anniversary of the Sept. 11th attacks by observing a moment of silence, and refraining from posting
anything in honor of the victims and families of the 9-11 tragedies. As always, our hearts are with everyone today as we remember the people who gave and lost their lives one year ago today.
Through our auction last
year, Hypothermia raised $10,161.00
for the WTC Disaster Relief Fund.
New
"A-Day" Contest -Steve
Normally we have a "One a Day for a week" contests, but this
contest is a little different, this time around we are running this
contest for a full month!! Why so generous? Well, we have a box full of
RMA ( Return Material
Authorization ) items that were
originally DOA or KIA during reviews. These have all been returned to
the manufacturer and replaced with a schpanky new unit. I have 30 items,
mostly motherboards that are all waiting for a new home. What are you
waiting for....get your butt in the contest and try to win something!!!
Winners will be given the
choice of what they would like to have, until everything is gone. ENTER
HERE!!
Watercooled
Xbox -Steve
I had made the worlds first and only watercooled Xbox awhile back, but I
am planning an even wilder modification soon in the same vein as the
watercooled Xbox. Anyone care to take a guess?? C'mon...I'll hook you up
with something nice if you can be the first to guess what my next
watercooling project is going to be... in the meantime, look through the
World's First Watercooled Xbox
article for clues.
Killer
Gaming Rig #8 -Steve
We will open the Killer Gaming Rig #8 on Friday, Sept. 6th. If you think
all our other Killer Gaming Rig contests have been good, this one here
will definitely be the biggest and baddest of them all. With the new
Radeon 9700 out now, and Pentium 4's out that run at 3.3GHz ( overclocked
), memory speeds at PC3200...the KGR8 will be bar none the fastest
gaming rig out there. Get ready....
09.01.02 -Steve
HOLY COW....what is with all these "Editorials and RANTS"?? I
mean they are everywhere lately. I am amazed at the sheer amount of
armchair quarterbacks that can write articles about "Running
Intel / AMD / ATi / NVIDIA better" or "What this
company is thinking...". Or just flat out rants about
people they don't even know.
I think these guys just need
something to do, review...or an idea for a "How-To" ( not
a "How-To run a Fortune 500 company from my living room either
) article. Something...ANYTHING... that is productive or helpful to
their readers instead of lip service deluxe. Usually when I run out of
things to do or hardware to tinker with, I have
another giveaway.
MaximumPC
Stuff -Steve
MaximumPC magazine has not
only a great magazine that both Asia and I are fans of, the gang over
there are top notch. You'll remember that Asia recently reviewed
Photoshop 7 for MaximumPC, well it seems that more than a few people
didn't realize it was THE Asia Carrera that wrote the
review. Pick yourself up a copy of the September issue of MaximumPC and
read this:
(hey...nice website on
her monitor  )
