Nerds like to compete. The battle is on. Will Kurt using public transport be home faster at the Intel Kontich site than Holly, Basti and Uli driving a similar distance with the yellow 1974 VW and the 1974 caravan. Distance is 1218km (of course then it’s still a few kilometers to get to the Intel Munich office, but hey we want to make this a fair game). Come back later this week to find it out. But this is social media, up to you to already submit your guess as a comment. Will Kurt make it in time for the train from Jönköping? Will Holly, Basti and Uli be missing the ferry because they saw the light?

Or will Holly also get distracted by shooting too many pictures?

You will find it out later this week on www.nerd-fm.com . If it’s not on www.nerd-fm.com it’s not relevant and not true.

Our adventure started with an Italian meal in Glücksburg, it ended with an Italian meal in Jönköping.  And we had a few Italian meals in between too. At the end it started to look like an Italian week in Sweden.  Our Nerd-FM.com award for the best place to eat in Jönköping goes to ‘En Italienare & En Grek’. Super service, super food! If you ever go to Jönköping, don’t miss out on this restaurant. You know us by now, if it’s Nerd-FM.com approved, it’s beyond simply being great. For the website of the restaurant, click on the pic. But come back later on.

Location for this final diner was a bit special. We got a VIP seat.

Our week has been a great week. Sorry Basti you still had to dismantle the systems on the booth. Our minds were with you.

Our 138 eyes Benelux Intel Pack4DreamHack delegation behaved extremely well. When entering Hall A, you could not miss out of them.

And they turned out to treat each other very nicely too. Even a neck message to get the gaming stress out of the body.

Bottom line, guys and girls, we are simply VERY proud! Have a safe trip back.

Watch Uli going deep inside a wafer via an electronic microscope what is kind a like of flying from the moon down to earth. Due to the noise here at Dreamhack we recommend to use a headphone to be able to understand the father nerd.

Congratulations to “fox – Magnus Olsson” for winning the first prize, an Intel® Core™ i7 Processor Extreme Edition i7-965, being the IEM Nordics GameOn Country Cup champ!!! The second prize, a Intel® Core™ i7 processor i7-940, goes to “linkoo – Eythor Kristiansson” and the third prize, a Intel® Core™ i5 processor i5-750, to “xrebzy – Fridbjorn Davidson”. Intel and Nerd-FM keep fingers crossed for fox on it’s way to the final cup.

Fatal1ty loves cars too and so he took a ride with the Nerd-FM mobile. In Holly’s interview he hands out his Fatal1ty Gaming Headset MKII for one of the Nerd-FM followers. All you need to do is a comment under this post saying what actual CPU Fatal1ty is using. Is it a Ci3, Ci5 or Ci7? We will announce the winner at Saint Nicholas Day.

Two guys are right now in the R.U.S.E Grand Final, level 2. Main price is what we call a PC with X Factor!

And check the front in detail,

Just a bit closer still. You notice the badge “Runs great on Core i7″. A PC with X-factor on an Intel CPU with X-Factor! Perfect combination if you ask us.

If you ever feel alone, log in into Nerd-FM.com. Never a dull moment and always sure to be on the site together with tons of visitors. Some even start to build up towers as they keep on drinking Coke to not miss out on any of our posts. Keep it going.

They’re overclocking on the great Intel Core i7 870, they 2 huge tons of  200 liter of liquid nitrogen next to them to cool stuff down, they use LED ligths in order not to influence the temperature, but guess what … they need a teddy bear for mental support. Ain’t that sweet!

And of course, every country has it’s own creature.

New video from Kaos posted live with interviews on Benelux e-sports. Check it out (in Dutch). You know the procedure by now, click on the pic. Over 7 minutes of footage, waw, we as Nerd-FM.com says that’s nerdy enough for us, so OK!
