On a regular basis we head on over to Taiwan to discuss things that are happening with VIA Arena and the community. It's always great to get together with colleagues and hammer out our personal opinions. The Taiwan office is a treasure trove of history. It is amazing to see the shells of cases that I built for trade shows six years ago collecting dust on spare desks. Last week when I was there I stumbled across this beauty. It is the shell of a system that was used at QuakeCon in 2002. Originally containing a VIA P4PB Ultra, this metallic black/blue VIA 1st Mainboard case was covered in dust and almost unrecognizable hidden in a corner. I was pleased to find that it cleaned up well. All the girls in the office commented on how beautiful it is. These newer employees had never seen a case so impressive. As a thank you to one of our long term forum members, Zardoc, we are shipping this case to him. The case features the original VIA 1st Mainboard logo that was used by VPSD to promote their DDR line of P4 boards some six years ago. The system was built for promotional purposes by Falcon North West and is unique. Zardoc has (almost) single handedly run the VIA P4 mainboard section of the forums for years so we can think of no better place for the case to be shipped off to. Enjoy Zardoc.
