Hey it worked!, congrats shadowfold!

Congrats, ShadowFold!

Congrats Shadowfold! I remember when you just got here asking for build advice.

congrats braw

JrRacinFan · Apr 29, 2008

I wonder how much this would throw his original plans of going crossfire with his HD3850.

Palit_Guy · Apr 29, 2008

If he wants to wait on his prize until we have stock on ATI products again I'm willing to do that. I expect that to be a little later in May.

JrRacinFan · Apr 29, 2008

I didn't know Palit sold ATi products. Very interesting. Which models do they have out currently? Any variations of the HD2k series?

DaMulta · Apr 29, 2008

That one card will smoke his Cf setup.

Now back to work, god I hate 15 hour work days......

pcb appearance

I know I missed the contest but just wanted to throw my thoughts out there anyways.

different color options for pcb's would be great. pc building and modding is growing in popularity every day. More options allow for more creativity.
it would be great to see each card in a few different colors, I can see this being difficult for distribution and sales though.
Another thing to consider would be graphics. Imagine what it could look like with a graphic worked into the appearance of the component layout.

I'd like to see a copper pcb

For a new appearance, I would like to see a polished copper finish with purple and red flames on the pcb ... deep blue uv traces and a copper waterblock

Right now it's pretty much just 2400 and 2600 stuff but not much of that. We had a couple logistic issues to work out with them and everything seems to be great now. So it's just a manufacturing pipeline thing at this point.

You should see some Palit AMD-based stuff shortly.

Excellent!

I'm really interested in black PCBs tbh. If only PALIT made (black) motherboards...

MKmods · Apr 29, 2008

Thanks to Palit_Guy for such a fun contest and congrats to Shadowfold!

This was a very fun/constructive thread to watch.

You know what's kinda funny. If he only did a 7x he would have gotten post 273, which was his own!

I'm getting some push back from the factory on making black PCBs. Apparently, when they repair things, it's very difficult to see the traces when the PCB is black.

I've been trying to get a factory built liquid cooling solution going for years. The problem is twofold. How do you make something that can be tied into other stuff i.e. CPU cooler or a second card and how do you make it not suck.

My idea is to make the thing completely self contained and maintenance free. Not everyone is a really savvy user and while adding some water once a year shouldn't be a big deal, it actually is.

It seems like everyone uses just a little bit different stuff so making things compatible with 3rd party components is a little tricky.

So right now I'm only working with DangerDen. The idea is to use only their stock components so nothing is really proprietary. It will be a completely self contained unit. When we get all the kinks worked out we're thinking of offering it for sale through www.teampalit.com. Those guys will handle the assembly and I don't think there will be a huge demand for this type of thing anyway. But at least we will have some kind of option as a special limited edition kind of thing.

GJSNeptune · Apr 29, 2008

Going with DD is a smart move. Very classy people over there.

Palit_Guy · Apr 29, 2008

I agree. I know all of them and there isn't a better group of people to work with nor anyone that know more about water cooling.

TheGoat Eater · Apr 29, 2008

eww shadow you so lucky those are great cards...

Sorry to hear about your week MR. PALiT_Guy :0 hopefully you had a good flight though

as for poison dart frogs - Mr. Frobot could use some of those colors/patterns - lol -

my Idea for a color is tye dye -groovy man

Tye dye would only be cool if it were UV-reactive.

>.<

I guess that would be a problem, same really as black PCBs look the mut's nuts.

I sent him a PM and still haven't heard anything. I'd hate to have to pick another winner.
