    My new rig....

    Some of you old timers will remember me, some fondly and some not...
    Anyway, I just stopped by to say hi and show off my latest toy. Hi Apache, Twinky, Cain, and any of you that still know of me! LOL

    So yeah I just built my first gaming rig....

    Now out of all these parts... I built a sweet system. Found out too late that xfire vid cards is a waste on this mobo, but hey I still crossfired them! LOL
    I do wish I had not gotten the Vigor Monsoon III, as it was a very poor fit and was skyrocketing the temps on my cpu. A simple switch back to stock and problem was solved.

    Even though this is set up for easy oc'ing, I wont be for quite some time to come.

    So far, I can only say.... WOWOMGWOW!

    Heres a few pics:
    Heres a nice side shot of my sweet case. I love this thing and it shows my trademark X on the front that isnt visible in this pic...


    Heres the X....


    And heres the internal... Its still needing me to get in there and do my cable magic and shows the before shot from when the monsoon was still on there.


    Heres the nice pretty glow that lights my room up...


    So there you have it. Any thoughts?

            Sweeeeeeeeeeet rig. Please come play TF2 with us, we promise you will LOVE it if you only give it a chance.

            If you don't come play with us, we'll assume your new rig can't handle it (shame, shame, shame).

                There are really only two server rules that should be obeyed: No Sniping ObiTroy and No Killing ViTO. Thanks for your cooperation.

                              I'll be along soon to say hello.

                              My team placed 3rd in UGC last season. We were CAL-O before it got hijacked and first in our division. I ran a second team through CEVO and although they were insanely good players, the teamwork bombed on their end and they didnt place as well as the original team.

                              Either way, with all the teams/clans involved in competition, unless you were vVv, area 51 or Pandemic(defunct)... Your name really wasnt going to stay top listed anyway. Oh and for the record... Sponsors suck! LOL!

                              So yeah, maybe tonight I will come around and find the server and get a few games in. Might even bring my son Prometheus with me.

                                I have been too busy to play any games. I would make time for CainsLair games though.
