Listened to it today, great episode once again guys!

One thing i think you've missed about the sponsorship:
Make sure the company you contacted know the quality you can deliver. And I am specifically talking about photographs and videos.
They will not even look at you if you use a mobile phone to make the worklog-photo's.
I think the main reason for my sponsorships on Project: Reverse² would be my photo's.

Also, maybe a tip for the next episode, I had some trouble hearing some of the guys.
Bill and Kyle were cristal-clear, but the others were somewhat hard to listen to.

Thank you for your input Agressions. Your photo's are some of the best that I've seen. I was hard to hear me due to my remote location in Central NV, I am forced to use a satellite internet connection. This carries with it a lot of latency. I have had my people install a designated T-1 line, at work for me to use for future casts. We are also making some changes, regarding recording and the final editing of the show. I am confident we can correct these issues in the future. Thank you again for your input.

<<<This Just In>>>
After some reading I have discovered that to make high quality recordings over Skype Conference a connection of 100kbps is required per caller being recorded.

No problem, I really enjoy listening to you guys.
Feeling like I'm right there with you, and listening to the discussion =)

Do any images of the "most fugly pc case mod" still survive anywhere?

Listening to this podcast right now and have to say I think you hit alot of vital points and things I wouldnt have thought of. Hope this will help me with my future mods. Had to join the forum and say that cause you really hit it. Manners, Motivation, and one of the biggest I think is showing your commitment to a mod by showing progress or if your planning it still nice detailed plans. Loved the podcast and plan on tuning in again.

Bump for this episode, lots of folks wondering how to go about getting sponsership

Great episode (9) , esp. the sponsorship. As a noob, I wouldnt even dream of getting sponsorship. I feel theres a level of skill always to be reached before mastering something, call it apprenticeship , ...the "Force" or whatever... Yet, the information discussed was very valuable to me for future use. One of my main concerns is I really dont have a shop or decent place to work in and that limits me and being able to commit to something and seek sponsorship. My work ethic is usually that once I commit, I cannot fail. Having limitations right now does not allow me to take on bigger things. The information was invaluable though from a modders perspective.

Haha, were in the same spot Bill, I cant get over 80's video games, theyre still my favorites I probably will still use my 80's MAME games on my new high end system. ...funny segment.
