The contest end is coming soon good luck to evrybody here! |
|
I thought this baby ran until 5-2-08? Well, this is a feeble attempt to win the new rig, from someone who would really enjoy it. Bossie |
|
Just a little teaser to whet everyone's appetite!
That thing is HOT! |
|
h0t. All I can really say. |
|
Mmm...looking GOOD! |
|
Looks Great! :) |
|
its staring into my soul... |
|
Bigwop, why torture and tease us so bad. I think you enjoy it to much. I now need to get a napkin to clean up all the drool on my desk. |
|
Hmmm look at that mysterious Firey plate in there.. |
|
Oh wow, it's even more stunning than I thought! What a beaut! It would be an honor to win something with that much style and power. Good luck, everyone. |
|
Big Wop Thats beautiful! Cruel teaser but sweet rig |
|
Hi All
That's one Sweet looking Rig! |
|
I don't know if I can continue going through this suspense each month. But you know I will! I have afeeling it come down to either coolzone or ice. They seem to have been posting the most this past month.Anybody else have a guess on who it might be? |
It might be YOU nelson!?!?!!!! (hope that doesn't make you feel even MORE suspenseful ;)) |
Lol, I doubt it. There are many others who post alot more than I do. Besides if I won it than I would be faced with a real dilema. Keep this beautiful case that HH gave me or the case I have spent so much time and money on already. I couldn't not finish my project so I would probally have to give the case away even though it would be really REALLY hard to do |
=O that would look nice lol. |
|
man this months give away thread isn't even half as long as the other 2 give aways. where's everybody at? |
|
maybe GTA4 has kidnapp them. i know if would for me if my xobx 360 didnt have the red ring of death |
yeah gta 4 got me for 2 whole days but im back... taking a momentary break from killing prostitutes :-)
smooth creations rocks im actually starting to like you guys more than voodoo pc, your paintjobs seem to be more artfull and intense. and just adding more and more stuff for the giveaway also rocks! id love to see what you can do with an xbox 360 :-) |
I can see what you're saying... I agree with you and hope that some of the upcoming giveaways will include some components rather than complete systems... or.. maybe since HH is SOOOOOO amazing... they could do SIMULTANEOUS give aways!?!?!?!? ;) |
|
BigWop U R Evil!!! How can you do this to us :(
|
|
Do you think that thing can play my Starcraft and Duke Nukem3d on max settings? |
|
I guess you can play both of them on max simultaneously! |
|
Wow, are those professional pictures? Looks awesome... Good luck everyone! |
|
Very impressive... the owner of that rig will have bragging rights on looks alone!!! |
|
Sigh, my sons would be floored if I could present that to 'em..the smaller pic just did not do it justice. But alas am not nor have ever been much of a poster more of a lurker sort, so me Spawns' only hope is the remote chance via the subscription entry. Good luck all, is one nice looking rig, am not much on the bling factor..but would not be at all opposed to this one sitting in the room..alas if won would be almost 300 miles away with my sons...they could send me pictures I s'pose.

Hi Folks, I know I can't possibly increase the excitement over this behemoth anymore but I thought you should know that the CPU isn't just getting liquid, it is getting chilled liquid courtesy of CoolIT Systems. In true Smooth Creations fashion, the faceplate of the cooling system was also the recipient of a one of a kind custom paint job. Wow!! |
|
grats to whoever wins this. |
|
That is a really killing machine! |
|
the paint job is amazing. i really wish i win that, but i highly doubt that ha, the person who wins it will be one lucky guy or gal. |
|
In 24 hours not only is someone going to be very happy but someone is going to get a lot more productive with this machine...well maybe not for the first few hours since they'd be too busy celebrating |
Mounted in what case? |
|
I like how HotHardware admins like to keep us in suspense! |
|
I'm not sure what case, those are the specs of my friend's computer on the floor below me |
I was only kidding about the case since there is no computer that compares to the April Sweepstakes rig! |
|
From far away it looks like an alarm clock eh? :-D That's what I thought at least when I first saw it. It's actually the logo for Columbia University School of Engineering, the crown that the school uses plus a hammer and a pickaxe I think |
|
I just realized it says the contest runs through the 3rd so we probally won't know anything till Mon at the earliest me thinks. |
|
That's a solid system, twricerocket. But the graphics card is probably the limitting factor there. This contest machine's dual GPUs are very impressive. And Dave's right about the case. Nothing can compare! |
|
Another thought (this is to HotHardware admins): |
|
Nice really like the side view I was caught by surprise thought they already gave it away well who ever wins it your lucky |
|
Just some more torture... |
|
Kick ass dude. It's even better functioning than I thought. e-SATA on the front is just the best, plus firewire and a million USBs! And it continues to look even more frickin awesome by every new pic. Dang, every contest gets more so excited. Now I'm twitching like a crazy man drooling over this one! Here's hoping! |
|
Thanks for the new PICS, BigWop, especially the one of the interior. Painting the inside black really made the hardware pop! I think I'll try that on my next build. |
|
That rig looks sick!!!! Congrats to the winner.
(EDIT) Quite cruel Big Wop |
|
Nice =o |
|
I might just have a heart attack if I don't win this contest. I'm holding my breath now. Bossie |
|
Oh, God, I'm having palpitations. It's the big one, Elizabeth! Get me that rig. I need it to restart my heart. I think I may need a tranquilizer too. Get that rig and set it right on my chest! Bossie
|
|
Davo,we all wait you to make the honors and announce the winner of the next beast |
|
I would be more than happy to swap my orphan of a rig for this Beast!! My rig is an embarressment to this Forum.I want to make you all proud.Good luck to all and me. |
well its may 3rd. lets hope we see a winner soon :-) will there be another giveaway? or is this one the last one? |
