Default HWC gets bigger, Corsair thinks so

Those of you that read MaximumPC magazine should flip it over and check out the back cover. Corsair quotes SKYMTL in their new glossy ad for the HX1000 psu. They also include a pic of thier Dam Good award. Nice to see them noticing what we already knew, HWC reviewers are the Best in the Biz

Ok sorry for the double post but:

Here's the cover of MAXIMUM PC's August issue: (The real cover, not the stupid Voodoo PC add.)



Now if we turn it over... hey what's that? ;)



Lets take a closer look:



The really closeup image isn't that great since I took those with a new camera we got and I'm still learning some things with it, so I'll take a better closeup picture of the HWC-related text itself tomorrow. :)

For those interested the images were taken with a Samsung NV-24HD then sharpened a little bit using Photoshop CS3.

Thanks!!! Nice touch there by Corsair. Too bad they didn't use the "religious experience" line. Hehehe
