Boys will be boys

Yes we will…and sometimes that entails ripping an AGP slot off a motherboard and melting it on an 1100 MHz Athlon running with no heatsink.

Other times it means taking a Dell server motherboard with 2 64bit PCI slots and Gigabit Ethernet…bending it in half, and removing the ServerWorks northbridge.

Still other times it means taking 2 GeForce 256 cards and ripping their chips off too…along with a VIA KM133 chip off a compaq board.

The AGP slot melted like butter onto that damn chip. Also…note the badass ATA RAID card…pretty sweet piece of hardware that was spared.

1 day 20 hours…

March 5th, 2004

and counting till the start of the Australian Grand Prix…and Formula 1′s 2004 season.

I don’t even have a TV and I’m stoked. I think McLaren/Mercededs (Kimi) and BMW/Williams stand a chance and knocking Ferrari off the podium this year…and Toyota has no doubt made progress on their chassis (their motor was the fastest last year).

Check out [url=http://www.f1.com]Formula 1′s website[/url] for info on the circuit. Note that Safari horribly butchers the site…works fine in Firefox however.
