nope actually funnily enough

MY mate who owned over-clock, the same who used to be the owner of thermochill rads, good mate of mine, I bought his stock out, then i jsut bought more and more, the black ice rads were sponsorship deals with i have reviewed anyone need to compare a TC 120.3 to a bi 360mm im your man, if you wish i can post full charts for u buddy

bascially it grew and grew till half a cellar full and its still growing, usually by 2 blocks and 3 meters of tubing monthly
I would say 68% bought rest ex reviews

Lol nooo... Occasionally I just get invited for such visits to the odd place here and there. Im currently sat undeer the "unemployed" ladder after redundancy :(.. Its amazing how easy it is to get a job when you have a job, but as soon as you dont have a job getting one becomes a whole lot more difficult.

I can sympathise with that.. I had to leave an old job which I actually enjoyed and was good at due to a prolonged illness.. As soon as you're not in the position of going from one job to another, it completely takes you out of the loop, jobwise and jobs that you would almost be guaranteed to get when you had a job, you dont get a look in at.

Thats why I went self employed and started my own company... :lol:

How exactly do you go about getting parts given/sponsered to you for reviewing purposes? This is something I've been getting intrested in recently but have no idea about how to get started :eek:

meticadpa
28-01-10, 23:45
Oh.

My.

God.

:eek:

I'm so jealous...

But I can't help but feel that your money would be better spent on single stage (or even cascade) phase.

Lol...jeeeeesus.........get out much do ya Gilgamesh?

Question: all that stuff you have, is it replenishment/refill stock for one/several pc(s) or is it multiple different 'sets' of wc stuff to furnish umpteen pc's with?

Was thinking of starting a wc project myself, just not sure where to start.

But now we have some forums 'gurus'.... :)

gilgamesh
29-01-10, 11:42
yup
in answer to your unspoken question

I DO have agirlfriend (im engaged) i have a son:D but with my ex
As for the phase=naaaaaaaaah eats up to much lekky, besides im a D-ICE man when it comes to cooling

some of the blocks are old ie for older gpus etc, but one has to remember thatbot everyone can afford a modern system and those whom are unable to want to oc their systems ergo water cooling.

That is some nice amount of kit.

My missus would go nuts at me for that much..... but then that's what my loft is for :D
