With that being said, there is a lot of work to do, but not before I have to get surgery on my elbow.  Last August, I broke a bunch of piece off of it and they get stuck in my joint occassionally and this is very painful.  Today at 2:00pm MST I am hoping to live stream the surgery on qik so make sure you head on over and check it out.

While you’re at it, please hit me up and follow me on Twitter as I’m trying to break into the top 10 Twitter users in Calgary.  I’m at #12 right now and climbing!  Thanks to all who’ve followed me!

In the meantime, check out the video clip from inside their QC Lab posted above.

BCCHardware has actually reviewed quite a few of their products and have just been given a new one to try out.  A full review will be posted over at the site in a few weeks, and I’ll have some teaser pics to post up in the near future as well.

That’s about it for now. If you want a chance to win some cool gear from CoolIT Systems, make sure you head on over and sign up for VulcLAN as this year we are giving away almost $5000 in prizes to gamers in Vulcan on March 13-15.
