Gasp! BigWop stole it right out from under ya? [:-p] Well you should go take his clicky keyboard and throw that in with the bundle -- see what he says then haha |
Davo:
|
GOOD IDEA!!!! HMMMMMM.... |
|
So this contest is solely HH no other sponsers? I thought you guys had to send back hardware that you test and write reviews on. |
|
WOW i love you guys. All the contests and new members are jump starting the forums! |
|
Nothing like the prospect of something free to spark user interests, myself included. Not quite as tantalizing as the skulltrail system, but nothing to scoff at nonetheless. My system is to this system what a horse and buggy are to a Corvette. |
|
Good luck everyone. I just found this forum. What a great contest. |
|
i need this system! |
|
Bah.. not open to people from Canada.. damnit..lol True.. in Canada in order to have a giveaway, the winner must answer a skill testing question..lol Silly rules. |
|
Another contest only for US residents.Please God, let me born in the US in the next birth if re-incarnation exists. :( |
|
Not to rub it in or anything, but living in the US does have it's advantages... |
Amen to that ^.^... |
|
Well just so you guys would know, I am not American but I do live in Cali. I am a Hungarian but lived in Slovakia for 11 years and then we moved here and I have been here for 5 years now. :) One of the reasons why my family came out to America was because of all the advantages and opportunities you can get here (I don't mean by contests though.... lol) but like opportunities in life for the future. So yeah, America does hive it's advantages. :) |
|
I'm from Cali as well and dito the advantages!!! |
|
And a shot-out to HotHardWire for a great opportunity to win an amazing system!!! |
|
Haha, HotHardWire. lol. It's HotHardWare |
I didn't know they were having a contest too?? What rig are they giving away? Similiar to the one here? j/k welcome to the forums buddy |
I was stationed in Cali for a little bit and let me tell you the peeps out there are crazy! I had a good time though but it's like being on the other side of the planet! |
why so? |
|
not sure why. I just know the little bit of time I spent over there it was always drama. part of it could have been us. beer and marines will usually do that. but a lot of times we weren't even involved. we couldn't even go to a pool hall without watchin someone getting their leg broke in a fight in the parking lot. seriously everywhere we went something went down. |
|
lol...California and drama go hand in hand. But I've never seen people getting their leg broken repeatedly...Heck I've never seen that in cali yet...lol. But it's true that california is indeed filled with drama...I...HATE...drama..>_<. It gets rather annoying going out with friends and only ending up with drama filled night...whether it be on our side...or from somebody else...But I had to learn to adapt =(. |
|
I guess I must live in 1 of the tame cities because things are always calm here. |
|
you think thats bad i live in a small town next to lake city florida it is horriblly boring |
|
I'd go crazy living in a small town in the U.S....I have to live in a populated city =P. Unless we are talking about out of country...I'd love to have a home in like, paris or england....Paris more over though, but a small town/village for a relaxation home...But yea..I'd go back and forth though, half a year here, half a year there..I'd love it =D. I've always wanted to travel more, so far I've visited, Germany, Cyprus, Hawaii, and that's it...I'm dying to go to paris, new zealand, sweden, Rome, and so on....If I had the money..I'd be doing it right now =P..lol. |
|
i love big citys used to live in tallahassee was ten times better than where im at now |
But now you can just stay at home and lock yourself in the bedroom with THE BEAST! |
Bring it on baby! Mwhahaha! BTW guys..The beast has shipped =D...It'll arive on the 18th =D...W00t! |
Yay for Christmas in March! |
|
I'd be super happy to win this it would be a nice 21st B-day gift...lol |
What....are you going to drink beer out of the case chassis or something? |
oh Der........
I have other plans for it ;) |
|
I'd give it great use as well!!!.. I've been using only my laptop since September '06.. My OverClocked Mobile Athlon XP PC said no no to me :( |
Gross.....do we WANT to know? |
And won't the thin metal edges cut you?|
What are you thinking? I was going to OC the crap out of it... ahahaha |
|
I probably won't push the skulltrail rig farther than 4 ghz..The fact that these are ES samples makes me want to sustain them as long as possible..lol =P. But I do need to get 4x1 memory for the sucker for quad channel...But damn FB dimm's are uber expensive -_-. |
|
Wht memory you putting in that Skull train? Checkout this link.http://www.overclockersonline.net/?page=articles&num=1611&pnum=0 |
|
ocz is some of the best stuff out there i have heard |
|
Skulltrail is a socket 771 system. So I have to get FB dimms for it..Much more expensive. I'm going to wait for the new cas3 kingston FBdimms to come out, and pick up 4x1 for quad channel. |
|
Well you DID save untold amounts of money by winning the system after all |
|
Indeed...But I just pretty much maxed out my credit card that I just cleared >_<...I needed to pick up a g9 mouse, g11 keyboard, Audio technics ATH-A900 headset, and a x-fi prelude for the beast...My current ones just wouldn't do...Mx 510 that lost all it's rubber soles and sticks to my mousepad (needs to be cleaned 3x a day), a apple g4 keyboard with a extremely short cable length, a Sennheiser pc155 with the mic ripped off, wire cable cut all over the place with some audio issues, and the x-fi prelude obviously for top notch audio =P. So yea..I'm going to have to just save up and make room on my card...then eventually drop money on memory...lol. but it's still so worth it considering what I got ^_^. |
|
lol =P....I'm so ecstatic. BTW guys, I'll take pics of the sucker from opening all the way through removing the foam packing, also going to benchmark the sucker for you guys running various benchmarking applications. So far, 3dmark 05, 06, pc mark, and super pi. Down the road when I get 4x1 gb kingston cas3 fbdimms when they come out, I'll do the process again considering this board can run quad channel =D. Any other benchmarks you guys want me to run for you =D. |
I would like to see what your Super Pi 1M time is. My laptop (Athlon 4000 w/1Gig PC2100 memory) runs a measly 41.344 seconds on that test. It would be interesting to see what The Beast does! |
Gotcha =P..I'll even run it oc'ed as well to see the difference =D...only 5 more days! >_<...lol...Just need to be patient. |
|
what os are you running because vista has benchmarking utlity in it would like to see what it says |
|
The vista benchmarking utility is useless...=P...It's not for no reason that everyone uses 3dmark and SuperPI =P. |
|
well i have xp so never got to use it but no i know better but what os are you gonna put on it or does it come with one didnt see it anywhere on the contest page |
|
Indeed that testing utility sucks... Really its just a basic saying yes your system can run Aero really. I can top it out at 5.9 all around no issues with my system. Its not hard to top it out and its definatly not ment for benchmarking. Wonder if it switches settings within Vista the higher on the scale you are so it can dedicate certain apps to different things. |
|
would love to win this |
|
Ok I want to play so one needs to get lucky so count me in. Ive got that case so just send me the parts. Ha Ha Lol! I love that case its great just I,m poor and dont have anything to put in it yet. So Good luck everybody. |
|
good luck to you too |
|
Well, sweepstakes looks good enough to get me registered. Though I guess will just have to see if forums are good enough to keep me around. |
