Nik: PolRoger

Forums: Mostly on OCF, XS and a little on OCN.
I've noticed and seen some of you around and also that you were members here at OCA so I thought I would come over and check it out.

Name: Harland

Profession: Currently a stay at home dad with two small children. I did work in the paper industry for ~ 18 years until my plant was closed. When the kids are a little bigger I expect I'll go back to work but most likely not back to my old industry.

Hobbies: Computers/Overclocking, high quality air rifles (so I can shoot around the house) and I've also got a few firearms in the gunsafe. Custom Knives... kind of backed off of that interest when I stopped working due to their high cost. Cars... current ride is a G8 GXP/LS3/6sp stick. Champagne and different kinds of wines in general as well as good food although two years ago I changed my diet/exercise/lifestyle and gave up most of my drinking except for a few times a year.

Benchmarks: I'm not a big bencher at least not yet. I've been running mostly just air (sometimes water). I've been pondering the possibilites of going cold... maybe soon? I tend to do more 2D benchmarks than 3D. I don't have current g-card tech...as I'm still rolling with GTX280.

Recent Hardware: Mostly socket 1366 these days on open air test bench. I've got a couple of 920's and a W3540. I would love to test a 32nm 1366 chip but $$ cost is holding me back. I 've got a few different X58 motheboards to go along with the chips. I'm looking forward to the new tech...Sandy Bridge especially socket 2011 and Bulldozer. I haven't tried AMD for a while now so I'm quite interested in seeing it in retail form.

Real Name: Bryce

Profession: Salsa Instructor, Bartender

Hobbies:
I've had a computer in my house since I was born... my pops was a big computer enthusiast so I grew up tinkering with Apples and Commodores and PC's. Gaming on the computer ever since I can remember. The majority of my computer tweaking has been to improve my performance on games ;).

Outside of the virtual/hardware world I live to travel and dance around the globe. Taught/performed Latin dance in the US and abroad for the past 8 years. Currently back in Honolulu doing a regular Salsa event in town and bartending a few nights a week.

Current HW:
Nothing recent, my gaming rig is in LA right now and I've since donated to my bro so I'm looking to build a new system with some top end parts.

Kal-El plays the same game I do online -Unreal Tournament 3- and turns out he lives in Hawaii as well. I figure I can browse around and look at some setups and get some good advice for my new system I'm building.


Aloha
