We have an awesome new CPU for SCRATCH, After Effects, etc...
http://twitpic.com/53btk
The only problem is...we kinda don't know what to call it. So, we're throwing it out there for everyone.
Prize is $500 SmartSound Sonicfire Pro package. You can leave a name here, on our Twitter at silveradosys, or email to torrey@silverado.cc - all of those entries are valid and you can submit as many names as you like.

How about "Burn"
as in "Scratch and Burn"
Introducing "Silverado Burn" Burn through your footage at record rates!
Add some flames to the front of the black box...

what about "Commander in Chief" or "Desert Eagle" or even "The Outlaw." If you wanted you could call it the "Lone Ranger." Just a couple of names...Forgot to mention "Desperado."

I have to be careful of using the words scratch, box, and red.
Scratch and Red are trademarks, and box is close to BOXX.

Nighthawk
Black Widow
Blackhawk
I also thought about Nighthawk and Blackhawk but decided to go with Falcon. There seems to be lots of names in this industry based on our feathered friends.
Eagle mocap, Raptor mocap, Ravensclaw Talon moco head, Hawk lenses.
I really like Black Widow though in honor of Jarred's recent run-in.

Not to mention Russel Crowe, Cameron Crow, Gregory Peck...:sifone:
Btw, I was definitely thinking about Jarred when I said 'Black Widow'.

What are the specs of this new system? What kind of benchmarks are you getting?

Based out of Folsom, I think it should be named in honor of the Man in Black who made the place famous. How about "J.R." or "Cash."

I'm actually glad that I didn't win. Because when I win the RED Rocket card people may get a little suspicious/jealous if I had just won this too. Besides, I don't even know what Sonicfire Pro is.

Ahhh too late!
'Silver Bullet' popped into my head today.
Look at the wiki definition:
"The metaphor of the silver bullet applies to any straightforward solution perceived to have extreme effectiveness. The phrase typically appears with an expectation that some new technology or practice will easily cure a major prevailing problem."
It's a good un...
