Team OC3D @ MOA 2011 European Finals

[MSIRawZ]

I have no idea tbh. Not sure if there was selection last year or year before that, just picked. I asked MSI UK why there wasn't a selection process and was told they can't afford to. Its the local office not HQ that chooses teams and ultimately pays for any event. If they couldn't do a meet up event, should of been online. Either way I'm excited and also nervous. Should be a great event. More teams this year than previous years. I'd be lying if i said I'm out for a good time, I'm out to win and represent the UK. Going to be very very close.

I wish you all the luck in the world guys.

MSI are hyping this that world records will be broken. The guys at HWBOT seem to think you would be mad to go for a WR when you get to keep the kit you get to use, I say do the team proud, clock the socks off those SB chips and 580's and get that WR and still walk away with the kit intact. If anyone on the team can do it, you two can!!!!!

Goodluck guys.

Had a bit of a scare last night. Mobo wasn't posting. Drained power from it, reset CMOS and took the battery out and left it overnight. All fine again now. Phew. God knows why it was doing that. Repeatedly turning on and off each second and no post. May that be the last of that!

Anyhow. All set. Got a lot of packing to do. Should be interesting when the Airport scans the bag.. Vaseline, tape, hardware, insulation, nail varnish LOL

 

[Stromatolites]

Hahaha, you might get some dodgy looks.

Are you and Eddy flying from the same airport or are you meeting there? I assume you have early morning flight?

 

[MSIRawZ]

Eddie is coming over to mine tonight. Leaving around 3am. Flight is 8am.
