A Memorial to Kreij - Gone 10 years but never forgotten- check out the latest build(s)

I'm out of the drawing, but let me know if I can help in any way.

Hopefully a little message went out just for the whole team.... (copied it just in case so will put it here.... I hope it's OK!)

 

[dhoshaw]

Just received the email from Phil, so I thought I would pop in and say hi. I'm still crunching, but between work, home and medical issues, I've haven't had much time to visit the forums. I do miss interacting with Kreij and all the other old timers.

You poor man, the message did go out to everyone then!!

@Norton asked me to take over from him a while ago now, so I hope I've been at least half way decent for the team! Real glad to hear your still crunching for us and I'm sorry to hear of the issues, life doesn't have throw things in your face at the wrong times I find!

I'm not sure I'll class as an old timer, but feel free to pop back here anytime!! I welcome anyone who has been crunching or someone new! I'm pretty sure everyone would love to see a load of the other long term members posting along

Beauty of a rig
Unrelated but a friend of mine from the LAN's down under passed away, the day after he borrowed some SLI bridges to make a tri SLI GTX 280 setup
We plan to finish that system in his name, overclock the shit out of it and then donate it - this thread gave me the idea to pass along to those closest to him


He's famous for overloading the power grid at a LAN once with his x58 dual 280 system back in those days, tripping fuses that killed half the systems sharing his power lines (thermaltake litepower PSU's, every last one of em that failed) and the power lines themselves started smoking/steaming in the rain.

We had a keyboard smashing event while emergency services arrived, good times.



(These might have been two seperate incidents, but as he was involved in both of them I'll just go with the fuzzy memories and say same day)

 

[Norton]

Sooo good to see this thread and Kreij's memory live on.

Merry Christmas all!

That looks like a nice machine. I'd like to enter. However, please do be aware that I am currently very busy working on getting my house (which I've just recently purchased) in shape to move into, so I don't have a ton of spare time to set up computers. If I win, I'd like to set it up in my garage or shed and possibly take advantage of these ridiculous temperatures and have some fun overclocking. Maybe I can mount it directly to the wall?

I certainly can or vice versa

 

[stinger608]

This is so awesome to see activity and giveaways once again...........And to have @Norton jump back on the forums and start to be active once again!!!!!

Don't count me in on these giveaways as I am currently "downsizing" and getting ready to move. I'll probably be out of my current residence by the end of January or first of Feb.

 

[oldwalltree]

My power is cheap and i don't currently crunch but i can definitely start! Happy Holidays!

 

[bogmali]

I am going to include the F@H folks on this.

 

[Toothless]

@bogmali You want all my spare 1366 stuff and ram to add in on these builds? I have so many chips and some socket 2011 too.
