HotHardware's "Dads and Grads" Gaming Rig Give-Away!

Where the smilies are,....

Manduh:

Where are these thumbs up things

Went there (the other contest) and voted for you.

Good luck both there, and here.

I can't wait until the winner is announced even though I must wait.  Until then I am going to continue to be an contributing machine and enjoy all that HotHardware has to offer.  Also, the movie 300 was good which happens to have something in common with my post count which with this one is 300.

I would like to thank the Academy and everyone who helped me reach where I am today.  Such fond memories so here is to another 300 and beyond, Cheers!!!

Haha same here, down with spammers and thumbs up to funny comments here.

@Manduh I pretty much have run into the same thing I am finding myself reading in the forum much more often then the main news page. So am missing the thumbs up/down icons mostly. I have been trying to use them when reading on the main page.

I'm going to wear my lucky shirt on the day the winner is selected so I'm in like Sin.

My lucky shirt is covered in gravy stains. Not so lucky, lol

Ah... The mighty thumbs up feature. I see it being used mostly in the contest threads but not so much in the other threads.

There needs to be more people thumbing up or down comments in the news posts.

My lucky shirt has kid drool on it dang those infants and their drool.

THANKS!!!  YAY!

Ooops gawd I'm terrible at posting in these things LOL

that message^ was in reply to @realneil  for voting for me in the zagg contest.

:D

Very nice system.

The case is a very interesting design - how good is the air flow? I see the optional 12cm bottom fan and the fan in the front of the case, but if you have all of the HD bays filled do you get enough airflow into the case?

What kind of CPU cooler does it have?

My lucky shirt has been washed and rewashed throughout the years, rendered unwearable beyond recognition.

For  lolz I am installing this into this epic system when I win it :P

lol ^ that is awesome. Seriously, I'm not even kidding, where do you buy one? haha

Search for Thermaltake Xray on Amazon I found one there lol.

So like, I've been wondering........Do any of us minorities have a chance at winning this system? Are they going by the ratings from the date they started the contest or all time. 'Cause if they're going by all time then I don't have a chance and might as well go pout in the corner.    LOL

Usually it is from the date they started the contest. Everyone has a chance keep on contributing and stick around.

In the past, they've gone by participation in each particular contest. Everyone has the same chance to participate and be noticed by the judges. I was fairly new when I won here.

I call dibs on the machine by Man Law I win.

I think you missed what he meant by minority here.....

a lot.

As an Alien myself....I got it

Imagine a hook on a line,.............dangling, right there,...in front of you,........

I have that dream nightly. I bite, I fight, I lose. the fisherman is a larger version of me on a larger hook. ad infinitum.

Is that how you use ad infinitum? ill wonder forever.

the design looks eccentric. I love it.
