yeah i wish i had ten SSD...actually did this one with five of them, three were lost in an unfortunate accident.
Alot of it also does involve some patience and skill of course. SteveRo's work with the acards is phenomenal, and his knowledge and skill are complete for this bench (he does hold the overall WR).
Also, Trans Am has made a very good effort, with his ssd's and the 9260, and did very well on two difficult segments, the one core and three core. Undeniably the two hardest segments to win in this competition, and he did an excellent job, his LN2 skills are truly ninja!
I have seen guys with better hardware do worse than these guys, thats for sure. My hat is off to both of my teammates, not only are they great competitors, but very good friends as well.
Also, all the teams who competed did excellent, this bench is LONG as we all know, and requires alot of time and patience, so my hat is off to all of the guys who competed, there were some surprisingly good results along the way, and this was the most fun ive had in a while! (god im a nerd) thanks HWBot for giving us a monthly competition for this bench!
