I have just got in with a mere 145 photo's from CTS2004 - it was a good day.
I didn't see HEXUS's very down David (I guess he saw me first,) but I had a good chat with lots of the important people. I also paraded around the Intel stand with an AMD Operon branded bag, hehe.
So, who else went?
i've just got back myself - twas an interesting afternoon of eye candy to be sure!
(...and i'm not just taking about the 2 ladies in the PVC catusits ;))
Jesus H they got me sweating!Quote:

It looked very impressive, me think's I'll be getting a sample of that!
Ooooh.. and it gets extra cool points for being bloo :D
Indeed - they had a P4 3.0ghz @ 3.5ghz on it, at 32ºC.
YEah looks nice alright. They done a review of it in the new Custom PC gave it CPC Premium Grade.
It is an awesome cooler saw it at computex last year.
I forgot to goto the show but went to the aftershow party where I was up till 5 am....
Pics you say? where :D
The zalman resator thingy is crap. Anyone considering it I suggest getting proper watercooling parts as a minimum and wait for the passive to be made available seperatly. the rad is infact also crap and one could be made much nicer for 1/10th of what they would charge for it seperatly. see this thread and look at his rad. Note that he is using it PASSIVE with THREE LARGE TEC's one of which puts out more heat than a normal rig, and then his has that to disipate aswell ontop of the TECs. A much smaller (and much neater/nicer looking/more efective) design could be done. It would apear he wanted his to look/be like that and it is definatly a work of art, of some kind :)
Any one want a passive rad like that I would be happy to make one....
call me ignorant but what does cts mean?
Computer Trade Show iirc
Kez feel free to upload or do something with those pictures so I can see them.
Did you get any of the PVC girlies? :o
I went last year - they had a company there called Pinnacle Telecom or something, basically there was a large stand with a Dodge Viper in their yellow/black company colourscheme, and about 5 girls wearing the shortest of skirts and little yellow T-shirts
I spent quite a long time at that stand...
"thats not a skirt, thats a BELT!!"
... :)
indeed there was!! - some "modded" hardware on a few of them if i'm not mistaken ;)Quote:

other than that, came away with a handful of AMD biros & a few free beers off the Trust stand, had an interesting chat with a few of the microsoft dudes about OEM software & their new partner programme, and spotted the lads from my local hardware shop (opal computers) on their own stand so obviously stopped for a chat with them - all in all it certainly beat going to work for the day :D
There's a link to the article on my website SteveKerrison.com. :D
Pics Kez :mad:
Hehe
Like I said they're in the article - no PVC girls though :(Quote:
