I also picked up a second graphics card (Sapphire Radeaon) so I can have dual monitors, some extra RAM (Kingston 1GB dual-channel PC3200), and this spiffy PSU. I'm no modder by a long shot, but I love buying new gadgets for my computer. You have a huge forum here so hopefully I'll learn a few things and maybe make some new friends. - dc

Welcome to PimpRig, dcloud make sure to check out my freind ,Thrasher2 helpful links.

i was drunk and i typed in pimp in google and this site was like 10th on the list at the time amongst the porn sites, so i checked it, loved it, stayed with it

Funny thing, I was reading GS's R2D2 worklog when I joined up, thinking I would put BR on here. Way to go GreatSatan, my work will always pall compared to the masterpiece that is R2D2!

I blame Google for bringing me here and letting this forum take over my life.

It was the RAM 36 Hour Lan Maddness where Lokkie gave me the sweet link to this site!

Dogpile brought me here while I was doing research for my last build. I hung around quite bit, then entered the contest in the Feb 2005 giveaway. PimpRig has brought me luck ever since.


EDIT: W
Whoa? Today is 10/14. How did this post reappear now? Funny.....

A search engine... I was searching for modding tutorials and... tadaaaa! There it was! Loved this
place ever since!

TDR

google is the one to blame

Actually it was a link in some guys post ,claiming he had the case in one of your reviews for sale. I'm gonna try to stick it out here, if I don't get burned alive first. BD51

I found the site throught FrozenCPU.com

I did a search for my city, and the word "forum".
Now here I am...

Saw a link in a thread on HardwareAnalysis.com, which is another computer forum I contribute to. But of course PR is far better!

Was trying to find some help with overclocking and ended up here

the funny thing is, that my friend who referred me was a probationary user, lol.

I just googled for computer modding and found this site and liked what I saw. And now about a year later I have 2 fully customized cases under my belt and a third on the way!

i dont really remember but i think it was something related to the newegg comp mod contest and the looser
judges they choose and the crappy job they did .... i saw all the bashing and decided to join

How did I get here? Well, that's an interesting story. See, I was over at GruntvillE minding my own business one day a loooong time ago when I saw this link in the affiliates list. Checked it out. Thought it was cool. But didn't have time to participate in yet another community. However, I have kept abreast of what is going on here from time to time by reading the news announcements y'all send out.

Fast forward to last week. I am posting the news on GruntvillE and lo and behold I see this story about a World of Warcraft mod by MNPCTech. I come. I see. I drool. I sign up so I can ask Bill why my case has not arrived yet...

Meanwhile, back at the ranch.....

Sorry, I wandered. So here I am. Now you may ask "If you were posting the news on GruntvillE how come the WoW case worklog is not there?" And I would answer because we get so much damn news and between that, the holidays, a business trip, and a 4yr old son I haven't had time to update the news in a week. But I promise, it will get there. Eventually. Before I finish my Megadeth case for sure...

Ok, so it wasn't an interesting story. I lied. But King Arthur is a good movie. Kiera Knightly in leather straps twirling with daggers in her hands is a sight to behold.....

OK, understood the reference to the Chick. That's good enough for me.

You live in Pimp City? Has to be in CA.

Hooooowhaaaa! Triple post!

Google brought many of you to us. It may be petty, but I get real kick when I put in the name of a product recently reviewed and see PR in the top 3 hits. Yeah, I am pretty proud of the advances we've made, with the biggest obstacle making people take the name "PimpRig" seriously. They are now.
