Good idea to post a countdown!

shwaip

15 Jul 2005, 3:06am

14 days.

this is a pretty shoddy countdown....
14 days.
In my never-ending quest to be helpful:

14 Days = 336 Hours = 20,160 Minutes = 1,209,600 Seconds

Yikes - more than one million seconds to go. It seems like an eternity... :bawling:

^Nice plug.

15 Jul 2005, 4:51am

Nice, what else Phil? I just upgraded to an A64 system and I have some WCing equipment to put on it as well.

Lincoln

15 Jul 2005, 2:15pm

I'm counting down because I can't use my new system until someone flashes my BIOS for me. :(

shwaip

15 Jul 2005, 2:28pm

speaking of counting down...

13 days left.

Light could travel 0.33696 petameters in that amount of time.

Nice, what else Phil? I just upgraded to an A64 system and I have some WCing equipment to put on it as well.
Went 64bit :/, was an expensive upgrade to make the jump to PCI express video card at the same time. Hopefully now I can get back to a piece of hardware every now and then instead of all the main components at once.

Upgrade was to:

DFI lanparty-ut nf4
3200+ vience
msi nx6800gt
1gig ocz pc4000vx
250 gig seagate 7200.8 sata drive

I'm going to watercool it in the future, it killed me to break down and spend this much at once as it is :p. I like the $250 here and there approach much better.

mmonnin

16 Jul 2005, 12:37am

My setup is fairly close.

DFI Lanparty SLI-DR
3200+ Venice
Abit X700 Pro 128MB, you know I'm not much of a gamer
OCZ Plat Rev 2.0 TCCD chips, already had.

I am going to order some stuff for the to put in the water and some more hose I think. Then I should be able to watercool the CPU and Video card.

I just came in from walking my mutts. It's 90F here with a "feels like" temp of 98. Stick a fork in me - I'm done.

Yeah, hopefully isolated != over prime's house. A lan party sans power could be rather tame.

primesuspect

25 Jul 2005, 7:27pm

the tent people assure me that even heavy rain won't bother the event.

GHoosdum

Did the tent people assure you that a lightning strike to the transformer won't bother the event?

I'll bring my Coleman lantern and a deck of cards, just in case. ;)

QCH

27 Jul 2005, 3:52pm

On this pst Sunday, my outdoor thermo-meter read 106. then add in the humidity, it must have been well over 110 degrees. 83, 84, 86.... That's like being in the artic. ;D

I too have no games loaded yet... :shakehead

I finished loading a fresh OS and all the other apps that I usually install then imaged it. I'm all ready for the GAME install when I get home, then I'm off to Kalamazoo tonight, Detroit by noon tomorrow!!!!!

Lincoln

QCH
