Review Pimp, but still Jo's Ho
HoJo's Avatar
Default Ces 2008

I've gotten to see some pretty cool stuff over the last two days and I'll give you a little bit of the highlights here.

To start off I visited the CoolIt booth today and was pulled aside and shown a rig from a company called Tycrid in the back they were just getting ready to debut. They are working with CoolIt for their colling solutions . It has six, count 'um six, 8800gts video cards. Now before you cream your pants let me explain that this is not a gaming rig on steroids. It's main function is computing power such as mathematical calculations. It is supposed to have the computing power of 50 dual quad core processors. Click on the pdf file to see more info.

And some more from Coolermaster. That V10 cooler is a monster but weighs a lot less than you may think. They claim it will cool 15 degrees Celsius more than the competition. I told them we would be very interested in doing a review when it is released.

I even found the wife a new wheel chair. It runs, it's real and you can buy one. I didn't get the price because you know what they say, "if you gotta ask the price you can't afford one".

that's a nice board, nice to see that Asus is giving ram cooling the attention it needs especially with the wide range of aftermarket cpu coolers that can adversely affect ram temperature.

EDIT: ohh and that V10 cooler from Coolermaster looks ridiculous. it's not copper though right? so how heavy was it?

The Enermax fans are pretty sweet, bet they are pretty quiet (not that enermax doesn't already make quiet fans).

That V10 is Huge, no matter the weight positioning it in a case, would be hard.

I love the racing chair, Wish i had that for some games I play.

Any particular reason they arn't using GTX's or Ultras in that rig? Or did they run out of portable nuclear power supplies

Which would only be right, seeing as how you're doing the 10 laps in a NASCAR Nextel Cup car thing this next year, just so you'll have something to compare the chair to, right?
