A Little History:
4 years ago the Monkey Federation challenged a group of monkey's from overclockers to a race... this was all started by the chief instigator KingFish... many at MaximumPC folding jumped in as well as others on the opposing team to make it alot larger and more fun than it was originally intended. MaximumPC won that race thanks to the support of the fellow folders there.
The next year turned out to be even larger and the amazing folders at overclockers worked hard and beat MaximumPC to the finish line...
The following year... two other teams were invited to the party... the [H]orde and Overclockers Australia... needless to say it made it even more of a fun time and the wu's completed and the interest involved increased dramatically from all the teams with MPC winning the third year.
OCN joined the Challenge for the first time last year, racing out of the gates from the start, finishing with a strong lead, followed by EVGA, also in their first CC. We are back at it again this year, lets show the same support and determination that we did last year.
