may the force be with you

It was fun

Silverel · Jun 30, 2008

Sweet case badge CD. That's how you take pride in your work. I'm totally diggin on the bunny picture too. Glad you got all that sorted out rather easily. Beats the hell out of taking off your arms with a chainsaw.

EnergyFX · Jul 28, 2008

Did you go through and delete a bunch of the posts here?? Why?

Fitseries3 · Jul 28, 2008

crappy remarks from some people.

CyberDruid · Jul 28, 2008

Yeah all I do here now is post viral pics in the Crazy Picture thread. There are some great guys here...but some real douche bags too.

Could you send me pic's of it!? I wanted to do some references with yours... I was almost heart broken when the pictures where taken away when I did my set up... I think your title should be water God... :toast:

Same here. I've been following this thread, and I was really dissapointed when I found the pictures of the finished product were removed. :banghead:

EnergyFX · Jul 29, 2008

I don't understand... so you've chosen to empower and qualify the 'douchebags' by removing your posts/pictures?

I hope TPU isn't reaching the exodus phase where all the good folk migrate to another forum.

DanishDevil · Jul 29, 2008

I have seen quite a few move on unfortunately. I'm barely on any more, so I just pop in and out, but I have seen a lot of long-time guys express interest in leaving TPU =\

CyberDruid · Jul 29, 2008

Athough I have been a member here for a while I only became active when I followed MKMods over here after he left OverClock one day. No doubt he felt the same way about OverClock...as he had pulled his pics and disappeared.

Not knowing a thing about TechPowerUp I just posted a mass amount of my work. The reponse was very encouraging and I found some good guys here.

Unfortunately I made the mistake of checking out some other areas of the Forum and there are definitely two sides to this Forum. When I was attacked by Candle_86 for posting some information about Paganism and then shortly after had some "Religious" pics removed from the Crazy Pics thread (which were reposts from that thread BTW...go figger) I assumed there was a certain double standard here...where I was not going to be comfortable hanging out or sharing my work..so I left for a bit.

It may have been a coincidence who knows...and frankly who really cares?

I think the Crazy Picture Thread is Epic...so I can't stay away...and out of resepect for a fellow case modder I occasionally post in the more technical areas...but I am not going to ressurect this thread.

InnocentCriminal · Jul 29, 2008

Shame to hear that CD. However, on topic - looking through your work on the OC forums. Jebus dude! That is some serious talent you've got there. Really enjoy a good work log, yours are out standing.

Very inspiring!

I hope you don't like the bastards grind you down, as I really appreciate you sharing with us.

Chewy · Jul 29, 2008

"Give me the Cosmos!" inspiring work man. keep up the excelent projects!

Fitseries3 · Jul 29, 2008

if you guys look hard enough the cosmos is depicted very well in other forums.

MilkyWay · Aug 1, 2008

thats crap i didnt know a lot of the long time users wanted to leave or where thinking about it.

you know some people might not say anything but i really appreciate the help some people give on the forums

most of the time people have been decent on here at least to me that is

on topic thats a cool badge you must take pride in your work or are very meticulous

MKmods · Aug 1, 2008

Sorry for the probs CD. I find them in every forum and thats mostly the reason I stick to my specific thread. I have been insanely busy lately and havent paid much attention other than to stop by every now and than.

I cant understand why some seem to thrive on conflict and contribute so little.

intel igent · Aug 1, 2008

this is becoming an epidemic here on TPU! :shadedshu

Cyber Druid; i ask you personally to look past the "douchebag's" and remain a part of the TPU! community

a person as talented as yourself is like a dildo at a lesbo party; wanted by everyone and hated by other's.

Cold Storm · Aug 1, 2008

Intel, I love your logic! :laugh:

But, I am with you on it all.

MilkyWay · Aug 1, 2008

dont leave man
it may not be as hardcore as other websites and there are a lot of newbies but they need help

at least if you leave let us know what happens so we can see some of your mods you might do in the future

This is very true, if you thought that ATi vs. nVidia thing was bad, the religous thing is worse. I just don't touch the subject, and all is well. The forum is too good to let petty stuff like that bother me.

As for the religous pics being removed, I'm pretty sure Urlyin ripped into the mod responsible pretty hard for that little issue, and it is one of the reasons that person is no longer a mod, if that makes you feel any better.

I really hate to see you leave, your work is simply amazing, your knowledge is vast, and you are a true asset to the forum.

Just to publicly say

I never was a prolific poster to "my own" thread with the COSMOS 1K build crafted by CD.

As is the case with work of this kind, it's with somebody whom you entrust with the hope and confidence, that your dream machine will turn out the way you hope it will, without defects, bugs, nagging problems, or performance issues.

I grow fonder of CD's build every day that I power it up...it runs quietly, and burp free at all times.

Aside from software issues, i.e games that won't install or play in 64 BIT, or problems configuring INTERNET Explorer 64 BIT with a 24" LCD, CD's build has been a joy to behold, and to use.

Thanks also go out to VIPER John for his cooling solution for my 780i NB/MOSFET which also appears to keep chipset temps nice and comfortable.

And just to re-emphasize, this is unsolicited, and ANYBODY who wants a rig modded, CD should be on your short list of contractors. His work is thorough, meticulously executed, and with great form and function.

CD, thank you once again for my gift!
