Penapis will be managing the LN2 cooling process as he has vast experience on handling it. Thanks to penapis for the great effort and support shown to to K.O.C and Lowyat.NET community.

aikss... don't get us wrong. we are not sponsored. Gigabyte only sponser the event. before this all our testing/competition is all non-sponsored, we fork out our own money! and we don't get free hardwares before! lol K.O.C = No Money/Sponsor Team

and for this event, we are not paid. they will only cover the Dry Ice expences.

tictac: Wow legend, it's nice to see you here. How's life in Indon? sorry, we didn't try to get AMD to involve in this event, no contacts. lol
intothefantasy: Your mobo is with me. Still in the bag.

ben_panced: just drop us a PM and if the timing allows, why not. and maybe we can involve so hardcore user to do the demo, no need always K.O.C. i guess there's plenty out there who are capable of it, like raymond, extremeocer, sean, hyde, tampoi and so on. but the next time round we will do cascade cooling. this time round the cascade cooling is not ready yet. i guess only february only it will be done.

Without: i guess new tech is always like that. they usually perform 20-30% better that its predecessor. both proc and vga.

i guess that can be arranged. i guess syafiq will definately help on this. as long as he's free. he's the one that invited K.O.C. he's on of the leading organising committee. Thanks bro for the invitation. it's an honour for us. hope we can make it to satisfy everyone. we are new in this, let's just hope for the best.

ok. i'll update the name list with those who are coming to the event and those who need the organising committee to help on transport. and for Lowyat.NET forumers, do wear the official T-Shirt to to identify yourself during the event. hehe..

hrm... seems like the respond is not really good. but still hope to see ppl from Lowyat.NET on that actual day.

walao... keep it suspense mar, penapis. haha. anyway, i guess irangan is trying to sponsor us DEWAR? to do the 1st ever Malaysia LN2 OC Showcase.

anyway, just stay tuned. the problem now is MONEY!

SPAM: damn penapis, give me your MSN now! money planning

zz.... both setup got problem

hrmm.. full report won't be that fast. i need time to prepare it. btw, later in OC Clinic we will continue the OC Showcase simultaneously. This time round there's at least one result worth to be showcased. now only we solve the problem we faced just now during the OC Showcase. We are terribly sorry for what happen during the OC Showcase just now.

On the other hand, thanks to benny for the support. we will try our best. just hope that later won't be sleeping while pouring LN2!
