    Re: HEXUS.winners win4FREE competitions: GeForce 9-series graphics cards up for grabs



    What you are seeing an aluminium/copper brazed liquid nitrogen cooling CPU pot. This pot is a one off edition that can never be made again. The most exciting thing about this pot is that it was one of the first CPU Ln2 pots in the world to successfully bench an Intel Nehalem or Core i7 processor to incredible speeds (I cannot give ANY details about anything to do with Nehalem CPUs, so don’t ask, Sorry! I would if I could)

    This is what the pot looks like after consuming dozens of litters of Ln2 over the course of a day, it took half an hour with a hot air gun just to take the insulation off. Now it’s going to be sub zero for hours to come. That’s iChill!

    Lol we all had the same first idea, just you beat us to the punch with freezing it into a block of ice lol Fair play and good luck

    I wish I had money to burn freezing graphics cards lol *minor oxymoron there*

    As much as I'd die for that 9800GTX i've just realised it doesn't til end of september so my builds gonna have to be put on hold to see the results lol

    I've never been in a competition with so few entries. A 2:7 chance is beyond belief. I'm absolutley praying for that card, would save me £120 from my Uni loans lol

    No graphics cards were hurt during the taking of this pic ( but I do have a burnt finger )

    I have other pictures of the card (and the shots prior to this one) as proof its mine
    Size reduced with gimp text added with paint ( i need to learn to use gimp for more than cropping )

    proof photo

    Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

    Never used an image hosting site before, so I'm not sure if it's reliable. So I've put an rapidshare link. Anyway, here's my entry.

    Ok i finally got mine finished, the image quality isnt best and for some reason the text didnt come out right but i think its easy to guess what it is

    Direct Link : http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h.../HexusComp.jpg
    Would be nice to use one of these cards and especially nice to win something expensive!.
    Good luck to all.

    edit: BTW the proof is under the orange name(hicks12).
