Hey all...
Well about 6 months ago, I became member #15 at a forum called RealRedRaider.com, it's goal was to become the best enthusiast watercooling site.
Since I've joined, I've became great friends with many guys there, and now the forum has over 500 members, and that number is climbing each day, about 30+ members a week.

In the past months I've been privileged to talk to and interact with hundreds of the top watercooling minds, sharing knowledge, learning new things, testing new ideas... It's been a BLAST.

I'd like not to pull any of you away from TechPowerUp forums whatsoever, but would like to Invite all of you to come and check it out.
(but I really do have a deeper purpose to this-I'll get to that below)

We've reached a point where it's time to go out and seek more posters.
As I said, we're working to be the best watercooling site on the web.

I can't even begin to tell you, how hard core some of these guys over there really are, and how there willing to come along side any new guy (we don't call them noobs) and help him out and teach him how watercooling is done.
Of course, we're not serious ALL the time, we have fun, joke around and enjoy ourselves... it's like a family over there, relaxed, laid back... yet there willing to take anyone under there wing and teach at any moment needed.


So we've decided it's time we hold a recruitment competition... one I am planning on winning. =] The one to get the most recruits will be set to win a $100 gift card to www.Sidewindercomputers.com
(this I could definitely use for my build =)


Check it out, sign up, get posting, meet some of the guys, join the family and tell them SMEE sent you (in the referral contest thread, on front page):

Sick build so far man... I really really like the black with orange accents (the fans look super nice!)

As far as the paint goes, are you going to go for a matte black or gloss? I personally think matte would add a nicer effect with the orange.
