When I first started this blog my intent was to find others like myself, venturing through the world of computer builders, and clockers looking to exchange information. While I have had some deviation it is still the true bases of this blog. I seek others in the field of exploration into the unknown of how far we can push the limits of what the market provides us with reference to gear, aka mobos, cpu's, gpu's and such.
I had intended this as a gathering place to share thoughts and info in order to reach the ever chase able 5.oGhz realm. Ah what a number, and you know we all seek it.
It is closer than we think. Just imagine 8 cores of hyper threading tech ( translates into 16 cores) and upto L3 cache, and it's just around the Christmas time border.
The mobos for the more than 1k count pins should prove interesting also, and heaven forbid what nvidia has in store fore the graphics story.
These are the things dreams are made of, and i can't wait for mine to come true.

Terror On The Bench
For those of you who invest in building your on computer, you know the cost involved. While a some what simple gamer can run many hundreds of dollars, the price only increases from there. That being said we all understand the investment we incur and wisely so seek to protect our investment.
Three days ago I had walked over near my computers carrying a bottle by its neck when it slipped from my hand. The resulting crash with the floor sent liquid in every direction, however the majority seemed to aim itself at my expose computer bench. This was an evga overclocked system for playing with. The entire system shutdown upon impact with the liquid as did my stomach. Rather large dollar signs went swirling about my head as i could only watch the disaster unfold. After extensive analyzing I disassembled all components,2 graphics cards, 5 hard drives, 2gb memory, sound card,wireless card, power supply, and countless connections. I carefully blew everything dry and allowed the system in all to dry under force air for two days. Fortunately my beloved board and all her components went back together and fired, well not right up as it had a mild cardio, however all is well and running fine.
As for me I'm in intensive care (local beer store) and certain that liquid and my many efforts, both monetarily and labor will not be lost to such and endeavour again.

SLI-N-TRIBELadyjacks Pick Up Comeback Win Over Mustangs
SFA has now beaten SMU four straight times.
Sept. 6, 2008
Box Score
DALLAS, Texas - After dropping a tough match to Montana in the middle match of the SMU Radisson Classic, the Ladyjack volleyball team rebounded in comeback fashion to defeat the host SMU Mustangs 3-2 at Moody Coliseum.
It is the fourth consecutive time SFA (3-3) has beaten the Mustangs (4-3), including a five-set win in Nacogdoches last season. SFA earned the tournament title with the win due to Friday's head-to-head win over New Orleans.
The match was a coming-out party of sorts for freshman middle blocker MC Bottles, who responded to her first significant playing time of her career with 16 kills and three blocks and was placed on the all-tournament team after the match. Senior Lauren Railey also contributed 16 kills for SFA on 61 attacks, moving past former teammate Traci Rohde into sole possession of eighth place at SFA in kills with 1,311. She was named tournament MVP after registering 47 kills in the three matches.
