Upcoming contest...

Injustice

I'm going on vacation tomorrow so I figured I'll put this out on the wire now so people are aware of it. Beginning December 1st I will be hosting the first annual "Build My Next Computer" contest. I'm not going to release the specifics yet, but I will go so far as to say the event will last about a month and be comprised of two parts.

The winner will recieve his or her choice of the following:

CompUSA.com - Envision G22LWk 22-inch LCD Multimedia Monitor, Black - Envision » Monitors » Flat Panel (LCD)

CompUSA.com - BFG Technologies GeForce 8600GT OC Video Card with ThermoIntelligence, PCIe, 512MB - BFGR86512GTOCFE - BFG Technologies » Computer Upgrades » Video Cards

CompUSA.com - Thrustmaster HOTAS Cougar USB Joystick and Throttle - 2960534 - Thrustmaster » Gaming » PC Games » Joysticks, Gaming Controllers

The LCD flat panel should be compatible with just about any computer, while the video card requires a motherboard that supports PCI express. The joystick is one I haven't heard about before, so I can't give comparisons to the FF2 or X52. You'll need to check the customer reviews for more info on that.

Interesting, I'm guessing its a 'find me the cheapest parts' contest?

Jump

More like a design contest.

Hornet

Well inj, I'll let you build me one too. Why build one when you can buy two at twice the price??

netburnr

I dont get it. Someone designs you a computer and you give them $200+ worth of equipement.

Sign me up.

Get a high end intel duo, a high end nvidia mobo, a high end nvidia gpu, match 1gb ram, 2 serial ATA drives, and a dvd-rw DL.

Tada, I win

ELPIRATA

I dont think is that easy net lol. Id think that a design element might me in, just throwing some parts on the washing machine wont cut it

Perhaps he also wants to know why you choose each part and such. No clue, havent read the details myself so I guess we'll wait for Dec 1st

This sounds fun... I have built every computer I've owned for the last 15 years until I got my laptop recently. I think this will be fun!

Very important detail there. More to come and all that kind of thing. The man has a plan. And of course, he is quite generous.
