Jingle Bells played with graphics card, Santa wonders why
As if an office full of guitar-controlled lights weren't enough to get you in the holiday spirit, along comes a self-proclaimed geek to play Jingle Bells on his graphics card. We know, it's hard to really grasp what we mean, so jump on past the break to catch a video that will undoubtedly do our explaining for us.[Via TheInquirer]

Newsworthy.... And what an ugly heatsink.

All that matters is that it works.

Not in the age of windowed cases and lights to highlight all your stuff.

hahaha
that "merry christmas" at the end is the BEST!

I want my 36 seconds back.

awesome accent at the end
computer.dude.28 @ Dec 24th 2007 1:54PM
Very unexpected. It made me laugh.

Damn, he should have done it with a GeForce 8800 GTX. It'd make a better sound because that graphics card is actually bigger than his head.

Merry Christmas Eve Day!!!

My mouth opened and closed a few times, trying to utter some word - any word - but none came forth. I now truly understand the meaning of speechless.
gt2378b @ Dec 24th 2007 5:57PM
*And* the true meaning of Christmas!
Majormauser @ Dec 24th 2007 1:18PM
Much like a Dog that can lick anywhere..... Because he Can!
Merry Christmas to all.
Chuck @ Dec 24th 2007 1:23PM
I can do the same thing with a comb, but I just wouldn't do it on video. Waste of time.
Mr. S. @ Dec 24th 2007 1:24PM
Marry Christmas... NOW YOU WILL BE DESTROYED BY THE MOTHERLANDS SECRET NUCLEAR ARSENAL!
eatmoreramen @ Dec 24th 2007 1:24PM
The "Merry Christmas" at the end is like...ominous..
Sounds evil haha
but that was cool none the less
torqueo @ Dec 24th 2007 1:40PM
I feel like, if I don't start clapping, the dude will break my legs.

i think engadget needs a forum...its about time they catch up with nearly everyother site in the world and add a forum!
Nubaeus @ Dec 25th 2007 1:40AM
Your icon speaks volumes about you
computer.dude.28 @ Dec 24th 2007 1:56PM
Engadget has already stated that they decided years ago that a forum is "not for [engadget]"

computer.dude.28 has already stated years ago that the reply button is "not for them," nor is appropriate "quotation" usage.
:D
inedible @ Dec 24th 2007 7:16PM
engadget also stated years ago that [wikipedia]-style [linking] is [click here stupid|not for them].
computer.dude.28 @ Dec 24th 2007 7:23PM
That wasn't a link and the reply button sometimes redirects to url/#commentform instead of replying, and I don't always catch it.
Mr. H @ Dec 24th 2007 2:16PM
I think this post may have entered a whole new level of nerdy, previously unseen by engadget.
injate @ Dec 24th 2007 2:18PM
meri krizmash to you too!
HunterXI @ Dec 24th 2007 3:00PM
Oh hahaha. I totally thought he had written software/modified the graphics card to play an audio file. The jump strikes again!
midiwall @ Dec 24th 2007 3:10PM
sigh....
Bufsabre @ Dec 24th 2007 3:50PM
reminds me of my old foreign language teacher at the end
Niklas @ Dec 24th 2007 4:13PM
self-proclaimed geek? yeah right.
elin @ Dec 24th 2007 6:06PM
Congratulations, Alessandro. You're on Slashdot. Also, that was, ok, very nerdy... but I've heard much worse renditions :-D
kigamoosh @ Dec 24th 2007 11:15PM
When this guy spoke at the end, am I the only one who instantly thought of our protagonist Niko from GTA IV?
matt byrne @ Dec 25th 2007 9:01AM
Mary wasn't the only virgin at christmas.
Slartibartfarst @ Dec 25th 2007 3:10PM
Made me laugh out loud. Very amusing - especially the "Merry Christmas" together with the somewhat deadpan face at the end. This guy would be at home in an old English music hall show.
jptech @ Dec 26th 2007 1:11AM
merry christmas rainman!
