    First i thought that i dont need this because its a bit playful :)

    But than i had a cool idea and now i share it with you, because it was a success for me :p

    I hope you like the content and give me some feedback,...here is what i have done:

    Asus FancyStart is a tool from Asus to replace the Bios boot screen and sound.
    In the Bios you can enable the function and set some options, like the volume or animation.
    In Windows you have to install FancyStart to choose the picture and audio files that you would like to see while booting.

    In my package you will find the latest version of the FancyStart tool from Asus and some pictures with Asus / ROG logos and a sound file, witch you can use with the tool.
    The picture- and audio quallity is maxed out and should not be changed (if you want to use your own files you need a 1024x768 jpeg and a wav).
    Just start FancyStart (after the installation you can delete the link from the autostart folder) and select the files from the "Bootfiles" folder from my pack.
    Restart and see ;)

    BTW i included some nice Wallpapers in high resolution as Windows background for you too ;) , you will find them in the "Wallpapers" folder.

    And again i hope you have fun and post some feedback here (would be great if somebody could make a startup videoclip for us as example)^^

    DOWNLOAD (incoming :D....sry i m sharing tons of p0rn xD)

    Gamefront hmm looks like the download counter doesnt works...dont worry its famous as hell^^

    I heard about temporary bricking with this running and some user had to remove their hard-drive to get it to boot normally.

    everything works good for me, no problems
    its just:

    "jeahr maybe your 16 GB RAM 2x HD6990 with i7-980X Extreme Edition and SSD RAID0 are faster than my system..but can you do THIS!!!!!!11111111111"
    *booting with custom logo and sound*
    "woaaaaaaaaaaaaar"

    :D :D

    first i had a supercharged v8 camaro SS as sound but it was a bit hilarious^^

    My first RMA was a direct result of enabling FancyStart, super-Bricked, as in resetting the CMOS, removing the HDDS, did nothing :(

    Not to steal any thunder way from Ruckenmark, but I would recommend anyone willing to try this, that any mod to the POST screen, even when using a program made by the same company that made the laptop, is still risky. (at least from my experience)

    On another note lol Ruckenmark can you make like a youtube video of it in action? :D

    Feel really sad for you. That shouldn't have happened. I've used fancystart a few times and worked perfectly for me. I still however don't suggest anyone use fancystart as it slows down your boot time by quite a bit.

    hehe i have tested exactly this before you posted you comment^^ and yes i have said some thing about this in the little video. i think it changes when you take long and big files.

    <embed src="http://swf.vidup.de/v/PI4OW/" height="295" width='480' allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true">

    hmm looks like the page re sized the video... :(
    you should toggle the view, "stretching is fill" looks normal.

    Edit:

    yes i know i made some mistakes and i dont like how i sound :p

    :p Your accent makes me smile, but in a good way. Like I would smile when Clint Eastwood would say ''punk''.
    Seriously though, your english is 'sehr gut' ;)

    sure you dont need the picture.

    just install the tool and replace only the sound file.

    the installation is slim and i havnt tested it yet but after you changed the picture/sound you should be able to uninstall without losing the new files.
