Social media goes a looooooooooooooong way with us since we're still kind of new in the gaming market. We've only been in gaming for two years or so, but we're a pretty massive company that has doing performance computing/servers for over 20 years. We do some pretty crazy stuff such as board-based overclocking for server products for algorithmic trading markets, massive storage servers (90 bay 3.5" 4U JBOD .. and other stuff based on that coming soon), and high density, small form factor servers. Among pretty much everything else. It was a year ago, but I believe we're the primary hardware vendor for 4 of the 5 top datacenters in the US. My point is, we're looking at gaming coming from the server perspective which has very specific requirements in terms of PCB traces, component selection, testing and qualifications, and all sorts of other crazy stuff I didn't even know existed--and can't recall from my conversation with our Product Manager. I've been in the computing business 10 years, most of that in some sort of design role, and I didn't even know most of this stuff. If we get pretty good social media feedback/support it's likely they'll increase what I'm able to do. I gave away a fully integrated PC (minus a video card) a few weeks ago in Sacremento, this isn't outside of the realm of possibility for something like NeXus with the proper support. Can actually see me giving it away at 1h 25m in to this video: http://www.twitch.tv/lanfest/v/12309643 The gaming oriented facebook page is here, I don't believe anyone has actually promoted it yet: https://www.facebook.com/SupermicroGaming/ |
