Hi, My name is Axly, and I'm an alcoh.. uhh.. sorry, wrong forum..

I have no idea how I could miss this place for so long. I've spent the past few days reading as many posts as I can find, cause this is a place where there are no "l337 hax0r fook" bla bla bullsh-t and no 13-y.o mentality.

I started off at the Hardforum the same day it opened, and back then it was a completely different attitude there. Nobody knew very much about oc'ing, and everyone tried to help out, and research to help each other.. (sure, most don't know anything there even today) I mostly hang out in the Cool Cases forum, where there are a bit more interesting things to find, but the single most common thread I see there is "I'm gonna buy this and that, and I'm gonna beat you all in 3D-mark"

After 2,5 years at H-forum (and loads of other places) I find this goldmine

I'll still visit H-forum, but it's been a long long time since I found anything to learn there.. This place has fresh ideas.. they might be a bit far out, and a bit complicated.. but new ideas

Think of H as Woolworths.. It's a huge place, the admins don't have very much time so they're not always in their nicest moods. All sorts of people go there, and in large crowds.
Think of Procooling as a more exclusive store.. you sell Armani or something. It's not for the masses, you have to be really in to it, and to be honest.. You look down on the "Woolworth people"

Sure, the article was a bit thin.. but I don't think very many of the readers would appreciate a more thorough one. (I would, but that's me.. and why should i complain, I got a so-so comparison of the blocks I won't buy anyway)

One thing.. don't go start a flame-war.. not even in this forum. It's very very useless, and can't lead to anything good.
