Yes I spoke with Hiro, very cool guy, met with him for 5th time now :) went for a few beers last year after Cebit hours :D
The Godhand should give better performance than the Orochi, with less material used; looking forward to it going retail!

if you want smaller interesting coolers, check out the Scythe Kama Angle and Katana 3; excellent price/performance units

Nice! Did you have a lot of after parties this year? We had none unfortunately. I guess it's because we weren't planning to visit Cebit this year but decided to go anyway at the last moment.

One thing is for sure I will never stay until the weekend again. To much goody crazed consumers around.
