I can definitely snipe better in Instagib on an HD screen larger than 100 inches.

First Blog Post + Home made laptop stress testing

Well as some of you guys know I am working on a new home made laptop.
I was just testing it out playing UT3 online on my 100 inch home made 1080p video projector and my 1040 watt 8 channel surround system and I managed to win the second match I played online today. I haven’t played online in forever. However I used to be good in the original UT back in the day.
Its gotta be the EVGA GTX 275 FTW edition or my new logitech MX 1100 thats helping me win. :)

The laptop despite the overclocks holds up pretty nice and stable now. I need a slightly better cooler on my Q9650 but it didn’t crash or get too hot to break.
My GTX card somehow managed to stay under 80 C (I think) running Crysis Warhead maxed out even though it was pushed to 725/1512 /2550 vs 633/1404/2268 stock.
I don’t have the final cooling system in place so I might be able to crank it higher later. (maybe 740 core and 2600 mem with better airflow, thats close to the limit you can get on these with air cooling)
I was able to offload the PhysX to my GeForce 9300 onboard which was also OCed and I allocated 256MB RAM to it.
