Keen to see what our AU & NZ boys can come up with. Last year the americans and swedes took charge of the global finals, lets get some Oceanic domination going in APAC, and off to the world finals!!

Good luck to all competitors, you'll need it!

P.S. Look at that beautiful heatsink. Twin Frozr just looks awesome haha

Grumpy or Karma to take this Qual out and hopefully go large in the global finals!

Just especially for CG ill think of a nice prize to whoever gets the highest score from CG and likes our new facebook page even if you dont win

I might give it a go, but my hardware will stop me from coming anywhere close to winning though lol.

GAAAAAY

I'll give it a go, the R6950 is a sweet card from MSi

thats a diffrenet competition.. nice

sooo if you win you will get a graphics card thats worse then the one your using at the moment pretty much? sounds fair

No

If you win you get flights and accommodation to go to Jakarta for the APAC grand finals and thousands worth of gear to overclock at the event.

You get the video card just for being a fan of MSI.

Wanna see me predict the winners from Australia/New Zealand.

1. Uncle Fester
2. Booj

Deanzo might also be in the top 2, along with youngpro if he wants to play.

lol, ASUS geear!!

You can crank that GTX460 higher than that Haydz!

lol yer but didn't get any extra performance out of it last time i tried.
