Girls won't be as impressed as with a sports car though. *HINT* ;-)
Good thing you have that PC P&C supply, any idea what your computer's using atm of total wattage?

[ToXic_WaSTe]

Nice! QUAD Sli. :) And love your lian li v1200 case, getting the v2000 myself. Best in black:P Even though i doubt i need the extra head space, It should easily have enough for WC.

Was I right about the models?

[Scott]

[ToXic_WaSTe]

yeah.

Nice, im never right. If you have some more pics you can post it would be awesome. not just the cars but also your comp... How does the Lian Li suit your needs???

[Scott]

LIAN LI Rocks.

Ok here are some pictures of my messy office, my rig and my dinning room which is right across from my office.

My office was originally the formal living room across from the dinning room.

Very nice, the office is nothing compared to how messy mine is :grin: But the V1200 looks pretty stuffed, thers is not a whole lot of room for water cooling kit in there, (main reason for me getting the v2000, hate cables sticking out of the case) But looks really sweet, thx for the pics :)

:wink:

And what exactly does your wife say about all that chick-impressing stuff? :mrgreen: Must hand it to you though, nice cars :)

[Das Capitolin]

She doesn't have to say a thing, anymore! Notice that the cars are just over ten years old each. Want to guess how long he has been married? :lol:

I noticed that poor BF2 DVD sitting on your desk. Do you still play? We should play again.

[werty316]

Damn Scott those are some nice chick magnet cars :lol:

I don't like that open diet pepsi bottle sitting near your PC though.

"Danger Danger Will Robinson!!" Accident wating to happen :wink:

Real sweet rig though, drooling all over my keyboard. Lian Li is the best, but there is a fatal1ty case that also looks very cool, but its not out yet, and seems pretty small.

That case has been in the works for quite some time, if I'm not mistaken an in the works version has been displayed on computex this year.

Wouldnt know, saw it in a Pc magazine and thought it looked cool, but there is no room for water cooling, the idea with mounting your harddrive that way is genius though. Rubber roller and a strip of velcro will ensure a very silent harddrive :-D

[Kougar]

Humm, whats this I see!!! :mrgreen:

I see one very sweet (And full!) looking rig!! :mrgreen: Do you usually leave the side panel on, or off of your case?

Better watch that pepsi bottle closely though either way!

[ToXic_WaSTe]

Yep, we are all more concerned about the prospect of all that Bling frying up, then anything else :wink: Get the coke out of there:P

how about the airflow, I can imagine it gets very hot in there :S

[XJnine]

I'm guessing those cards were an nvidia gift because I know you were just posting about how you were worried about how to get your wife to go along with the purchase of your new monitor and now you have these too!

I want friends like you have....

I have been known to be wrong though. It's actually quite often according to my wife. Bah

[Scott]

Side of case is always on.

Cards are not from NVIDIA. XFX was nice enough to supply them.

[Kasrkin Guard]

Nice Quad SLI setup you got there (+4 e-penis!, couldn't resist)... Curious, how far has Quad SLI come along and how much hotter does it get?

[XJnine]

XFX was nice enough to supply them

Very, very cool. They sure are going out of their way for this place.

[tomato]

Geeeeeeezus! That is one crazy set-up you've got goin' on in there Scott :O Glad to hear that XFX is hooking you up.... And as everyone wants to know, how are the temps with those bad boys?

(oh, nice wheels as well ;))

[werty316]

Yeah XFX showers Scott with sweet hardware.

[Das Capitolin]

Scott, if you have time, could you please tell us how you came to be involved with XFX? I think it would be a good story/article, and I for one am really interested in knowing how to break into the scene.

[werty316]

Great idea Das I was actually thinking of asking the history between XFX and B3D since its a mystery.

[GIBSON]

and I for one am really interested in knowing how to break into the scene.
LOL, who wouldn't be! :grin:
To be honest, I have been asking myself that particular question too.

[Das Capitolin]

Thank you werty.

I think that I would rather hear the history as well. Com'on Scott, give up them company secrets!

[Scott]

I don't dish out trade secrets.

[ToXic_WaSTe]

I don't dish out trade secrets.

OMG scott!!! you dont have some illegal operation running that we dont know of??

No seriously, how did you get in contact with XFX?

[Scott]

Ok, about 2 years ago I used to have contest and stuff to build up the forums. BFG sponsored the forum contest back then giving away one prize a month. But we got some people that where real ass holes coming to site and we had a guy working named MissingLynx or something like that that caused problems. So I fired him and got rid of the contest all together. I was so mad that we did not even have a Hack-O-Lantern contest last October which I had held for like 5 years in a row. FYI the Lynx guy setup or original B3D folding team and stole it after he was fired, I will let some of the old folding guys tell you about that.

Then I got sick of going to other people forums to talk to people. Hell I even got banned from NVNEWS forums because my handle was Scott@Bjorn3D and I posted about a upcoming NVIDIA chat in their forums. So I decided once again to try to build the forums around here. Contacted the PR guy at XFX and see if they wanted to work with me to do it. We worked out the terms and here we are today.

I also wanting to be the helpful type and offered to host support forums and files for them. As you can see it is not big time yet but is slowly growing. So what do I get out of the deal, I hopefully get more people hanging out in my forums and they help me out with some hardware to give away to bring people here. They get the XFX advertising for free. The ads they have on the site I normally would charge 550.00 a month for. So I am out that cash but do get stuff for you to come and partake in my wacky contest.

They are also my AIB connection for NVIDIA gear. Meaning alot of times NVIDIA will not send us reference boards and has us use XFX when new cards come out to look at review. So far there products have been great, we have not has a single product fail from them or perform poorly. And if something did break or sucked I would be the first to let you know. I have intergerty and do not ever want that questioned.

I am so confident that I let all my staff and most my readers know I am a drunk. I have not had a drink since 02-11-2005. But I know that Bjorn3D is an honest site and I run a good ship with a good crew.

Hope that answered your questions.

Scott

[Das Capitolin]

Thank you for sharing this Scott. You can count on many of us to remain loyal and pass word of the site here. I have already mentioned the XFX support forum you host here to others.

[werty316]

I sort of remember the time when you closed the contests 2 years ago when I joined. Those were bad.

[Das Capitolin]

I was so mad that we did not even have a Hack-O-Lantern contest last October which I had held for like 5 years in a row.

What is a Hack-o-Lantern? If it is Halloween related, that is right around the corner. It doesn't even have to be a contest, maybe something for bragging rights?

FYI the Lynx guy setup or original B3D folding team and stole it after he was fired, I will let some of the old folding guys tell you about that.
I know. I read a few really old posts about this. You may not care, but I am trying to revive the folding team for Bjorn3D.

[werty316]

The Hack-O-Lantern is as you read it and it didn't go smoothly as I remember; alot of users tried to one-up other users who have posted their pics of pumpkin cutout.

I think it's great you are willing to talk about what went wrong in the past Scott. Thanx for sharing that. As things are going now with the bjorn3D forums, I think they are going towards a great future! :)

[tomato]

Well, thanks for letting us "in" Scott ;) It's nice to know where you are coming from and what you went through to get Bjorn3D where it is today :) Yourself being so open and honest speaks volumes to me, and it does reflect very well on Bjorn3D.

[Scott]

NP,

Like I have said before I just want to keep getting more folks in the forums. Just want the site to continue to grow.

Well, we might be a rowdy bunch, but at the end of the day we all want the same thing for this site. Forgive us if we tread on your dreams from time to time with our arguements. 8-)

[markkleb]

When I look at that comp it gives me the willies.....Please send it to me and let me clean up the insides.....:wink:

[Kougar]

Scott, while I'm not sure when nVidia plans to launch their 8900 series they've already listed the "8800GTX Ultra" in their drivers package... Going to grab a pair of Ultras or wait for the new 8900 series in 6 or however many months it'll be? ;)

[SonicWRX]

we had a guy working named MissingLynx or something like that that caused problems.

This thread was an interesting read for me as I was also on staff back when that Lynx tard was around. Never did like him.... For those few that may care this is me Etching a Case Window (http://www.bjorn3d.com/read.php?cID=319) I used to be in the forms as Manaconda.

Sorry to hear that every thing got screwed up Scott, but super glad to hear that its all working out now.

Going to grab a pair of Ultras or wait for the new 8900 series

I am currently in the holding pattern to buy new stuff for a new set up. I want to see whats going to be offered and what pricing is going to be like. I'd love to do an SLI rig of some kind.

Never did know you where into cars Scott. That was one of the reasons I had to leave the staff I did not have time for it cause I was busy building and racing my WRX. Its not done but it will be by the end of May. New bigger turbo! hehe

[tyle6]

sweet cars, sweet cards. lol what motherboard are those puppies on? and ! though my 7600gt's in SLI looked nice! lol

[Scott]

That is a Foxconn nForce 590 AM2 motherboard. My new machine runs a 680I motherboard and is in a Lian-Li V2200 case. The big black thing I call Black Mongoose.

[bobletman]

Hmm with that many Gpus you can have a lan party all using one computer. Hehe bad idea though.

[werty316]

Wha???? That doesn't makes sense.

Also one last thing, try to avoid diggin' up old threads.

I guess Darkorb didn't teach you everything now.

[bobletman]

Lol i told you he was a bad teacher.
