[Chris_redfield]

I'm not entirely 100% sure this counts. BUT you did say 'any Gigabyte hardware,' I went with the cases as I am a big fan of some of the Gigabyte case designs, and am currently looking for an I Solo 3134.

So this is entry #11 Gigabyte Chassis in the Computer Case section

Entry #12 Gigabyte Global Event - Girls Galore (http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=205184) in news section.
Its indirectly hardware related, certainly creates hardware and depends on how open minded the judge is :cool:
Feel free to comment ...

I could be wrong, but don't think I am. You don't have to have anything gigabyte to enter. You are simply creating a gigabyte discussion.

Gigabyte cases are still gigabyte hardware and is a fully legit discussion thread.

well, there are a few winners if i read the rules right

loc.o is still ahead of me by a few posts in his thread. Hopefully his thread fits in the "hardware" category and i'm in the "non-hardware" category. either way, i'm going to try to pass him with some help from other posters :D

and its only page 4 for me (60 per page) :p:

[revogamer]

ex2cib, looks like yours is in UD3 2x EX58-Extreme + Corsair tri-channel kit for the top two UD3 threads. UD3 must be in title.

which is better for you, but so is loc.o's, oh well u can both win !

[ex2cib]

i was wondering about that, would be nice for some clarification either way, there's plenty of time for some other people to play this, 2 weeks left if you can make a good enough thread. :)

[Charles Wirth]

Loc.o is up for ud3 hardware based thread, ex2cib you are in for blogger thread.

Updated the verbiage on the first post.
