Isn't that the woman who fancies lara croft from eurogamer?

Modifications of this kind can be dangerous and invalidate manufacturer warranties. Such projects should only be carried out by qualified engineers in controlled conditions.

PC modifications != engineering :mad:

Rapelay?

He seems more interested in playing the game than talking to the woman by the end of it

I don't think I could say "yea I blew up two GTX 280's" and keep a straight face though.

surely he picked the most impressive looking game from his collection to show off the "super smoothness" of his pc. mirrors edge looks like that on a console ffs

Because it wouldn't be as impressive having that gear and still getting poor performance on let's say... Crysis.

I can't believe he admitted that on the interview tbh. In my opinion it just shows he clearly didnt have a clue what he was doing. Blew up two GTX 280's and he has 3 in the rig.... that means he has bought a total of 5 GTX 280's. More money than sense springs to mind.

CliffyBiro · 25 Feb 2009 at 11:58

She's REALLY interested. :rolleyes:

Maybe I should invite a few girlies round to see my rig. *snort*
