Easter Weekend - Please Read !

[Graeme*Kustom*]

As you will all be aware Friday 9th April and Monday 12th April are Public Holidays and therefore our delivery agents will not be operating on these days. Please bear this in mind when making an online order that despatch / delivery may take a little longer than usual as a result.

Normally, we could close our store on the holiday dates, but this time round we will be open Friday, Saturday and Monday to allow customers to collect products. Please be aware however that we will not be fully operation on these dates, so product testing / assembly and order despatches will not be processed until Tuesday 13th.

Please note that opening times will be reduced to 11am-4pm over this period.

May we also take this opportunity to wish all of our customers a happy Easter weekend !

[[M]uuhh]

Will you be selling Kustom Easter Eggs? If not you should! ;)

[NickB]

Mmmmm Kustom Chocolate...
Nick

[DarkEntity]

mmmmmmmm

kustom sweeties

[Ciqala]

kustom eggs would of course have to be windowed with a 4" cold cathode and a stealthed tray full of sweeties.

[NickB]

Could you overclock chocolate? Make it more chocolatey than it was designed to be?

It usually melts, I've tried it before. Heat dissipation is your biggest issue.

[Cullen]

you should use some thermal chocolate spread

i find nutella is the best

:)

[DarkEntity]

ud need chocochill casing to keep it nice and cold even when overclocked :D

[[M]uuhh]

I have found for optimal cooling you use the Chockoteke(tm) Volcano 12 Cooler in the Centre of the Egg. Though Airflow can be a problem its best to bite the top of your egg first. :)

[Forthy]

Bleh, you're all noobs - I'm getting the new asetek milk-o-chill :p

[Nitrix]

oh dear.........;)

[DarkEntity]

bah Forthy...uve taken this tooooooooooo far

[Forthy]

:p :cool:

[Thomas @ Kustom]

You're all way on the wrong track, everyone knows that the higher the fat content, the higher the melting temperature, therefor the normal rules of overCHOCING apply, don't go and buy the expensive dark chocolate, get yourself a cheapo dairy Milk, use a good nut based thermal chocolate like nutella as suggested by Cullen, then smooth it off till you have a thin flat layer, just enough to put the Milk-o chill(people only mock what they don't understand Forthy, I'm with you!) on and get maximum heat dissapation, from there you can overCHOC to make it as nice as Galaxy or bournville without the cost.

This will also mean that your overCHOCED chocolate is better than a standard bar of the same sugar equivilent, although you've matched the Grams you've got a much higher FSB(Fudge Super Bar) there for the sugar rush you'll get off it will be twice the throughput, although it may reduce the life of your chocolate.

Best thing ive heard all day:D

Quality!

This is a public safety announcement:

Although many are aware of the fanboys, few are aware of the dangers of chocofanboys. Even deadlier than applefanboys these fanboys should be avoided at all costs. If anyone threatens you and starts ranting about their choctastic in ChocoMark 2003 back off slowly, do not start comparing scores. ChocoMark 2001, Choc III, CocoaMark 2004 and Chocolate Tournament are other favourite chocolate benchmarking programs that you should avoid discussing in front of a chocofanboy.

End of public safety announcement.

don't you mean "ToffeeAppleFanBoys" ;D

I found increasing vegetable fat from 1.5g to 1.65g made a huge difference in stability.

[Craig]

Does that mean that Nutella is a bit like Artic silver?

Urgh, I'm sorry I've been drinking.

I heard it invalidates your warranty...

[Alan]

I thought a spam additive would do wonders to the cooling mixture but judging by the posts in this thread, you already have plenty of that:p :p

[Thomas @ Kustom]

Well it depends who you talk to Graeme.

A while back a chocputer review site mailed and asked the official standpoint on use of nutella in and overchocking.

Galaxy and Mars both said that it would not invalidate any warranty as long as it was used properly, but did emphisise that overchocing invalidates your warranty.

Cadburies Declined to comment on the use of Nutella.

I think Nutella is by Nestle right?
Anyway overCHOCKING is at the users own risk!

[Thomas @ Kustom]

Most people only overchoc to get a few FPS(Fatter per Suger) anyway, it can be pointless at this level

[Trojan]

I was hearing Microsoft is releasing ChocoXP this is fully optimised for all your chocolate hardware, and no more ' brown screens of death ' :D

I hate clearing up that.

[Greyghost]

you sad sad sad monkeys....

i laughed so hard i snotted my fanta down my nose....nasty.

[Alan]

No, fanta will not work as a cooling agent in a milk-o-chill - definitely not.

/nor will snot.

[Thomas @ Kustom]

Although Milyway the next best thing if you can't afford liquid based cooling was touted as being able to float on Milk, but extensive tests by myself proved it floats fine in IRN BRU and FANTA as well.

[Alan]

For our southern friends unfamiliar with Irn Bru - The Coca Cola company has, in every region and country of the world, the largest share of the soft drinks market... except, very much to their consternation, in Scotland, where they were second to Irn Bru.

When they found this out (humorously, at a meeting to celebrate no.1 spot everywhere in the world), they launched a marketing drive specifically at Scotland to remove this blot on their pride - and succeeded, by 1%... at the time.

Sadly for Coca Cola, they are now back down to 2nd place where they are likely to remain and Irn Bru are left as the last blot on their landscape!

[TheFallenAngel]

I believe the overchocked components are measure in


MMMMM-EGGAHERTZ

[Trojan]

I was reading on the tech forum that the PCI-Express is no longer going to be running the next gen cards...the new format will be Choco-Express, 2 formats will follow either Milk, or plain so do expect the ususal Milk Vs Plain FPS debate, and my Cadburys card is better than your nestle's card in the gamers forums.


:cool:

[Forthy]

History is begining to repeat itself. Just like back when'silicon' chips were all the rage (for those of us old enough to remember it!) a company called AMD stopped labeling it's processors by speed and gave them a rating instead. Apparently Galaxy are adopting this tactic and instead of using the traditional grammes of fat per 100 approach, are now labeling as per weight-watchers pointage. Will be interesting to see if Cadbury follow suit.

[shaky69]

Well this seams out of this world try using the falling chocs milky way, Galaxy, and Mars Bar these are the best for overchocing i now cause there running in my sys, choc seams to be ok apart from thats its all over my case window, can anyone tellme if this is norm.

Iain

[robdos]
