OCZ/DFI/Newegg prize pack contest.

[Charles Wirth]

Starting up another giveaway. started out as a few parts and quickly becomming a whole system. I hope the specs are satisfactory for an Xtreme prize.

OCZ XTC 2-2-2-5 1GB DDR kit (http://www.ocztechnology.com/products/memory/ocz_el_ddr_pc_3200_gold_gx_xtc)
OCZ 600ADJ power supply (http://www.ocztechnology.com/products/power_management/ocz_powerstream_power_supply-sli_ready_).
DFI Crossfire mobo (http://us.dfi.com.tw/Product/xx_product_spec_details_r_us.jsp?PRODUCT_ID=3669&CATEGORY_TYPE=LP&SITE=NA)
DVD + HD from Newegg.com (http://www.newegg.com)
Asetek Vapochill Micro (http://www.asetek.com/main/page.asp?sideid=623)

Since 3D is banging hard in 2006 the contest will be 3D related.

This will be a short contets and I wanted to give you guys heads up before we start.

[faruquehabib]

sweet! will it be only for the latest cards, ot will like x800 and 6800 level cards be able to compete?

[Charles Wirth]

It will be for pretty much everyone who can run 3D, SLI and CF will not be required or needed to keep it fair as possible to all who run 3D.

[Charles Wirth]

DFI is adding in a Crossfire motherboard.

Prize value will be going up before we launch, trying for a complete system.

[afireinside]

Sounds cool, what do we have to do?

[Charles Wirth]

200GB SATA hard drive and 16x DVDRW provided by newegg.com

[Charles Wirth]

The case will be Antec Super Lanboy, I will buy from Fry's

[Vapor]

By contest standards, can a 6200TC 'run 3D'? :lol:

[HelloIDistance]

Awesome prizes what will the contest consist of?

[Movieman]

Fugger! can I run a DX 3600 in this?:D

[Charles Wirth]

Asetek Micro Xtreme cooler w/ both brackets provided by Asetek

[WeStSiDePLaYa]

will a x700 be able to compete and have a chance?

[Charles Wirth]

We are working on rules.

I want all who can run 3D to be able to compete.

[WeStSiDePLaYa]

sounds good. hopefully i can catch a nice prize and get a nice little upgrade :D

[Cooper]

Can non US ppl participate in this contest ?

[JasonDTM]

Sounds good, looking to get some more 3d milage on my mobo and graphics card! :D

[Charles Wirth]

I will ship international as a gift, no duties or taxes should be paid unless your country imposes them. Then you are responsable for taxes.

[Cooper]

Sounds great - now we only have to know the rules/benches/hardware levels for this contest.

[cirthix]

mmm, looks good. what are the rules?

[Delirious]

Maybe it should be the best in class wins? So the people with low end cards have a snowballs chance in hell.

[dinos22]

that's good :toast:

[mrlobber]

Whoa, need to keep an eye on this :D

[s e t h]

wow. sweet. i'm in :D

[Harshal]

Fugger, you have mentioned there that you'll ship it Int'l. Does this mean I can compete also?? Waiting for the rules to be out. Thanks.

[wittekakker]

Well, if he can ship to Europe, he can ship to India to, seems pretty obvius to me :) So EVERYONE is able to compete. It's been a while sinds we had a competition, thumps up for XS and all the sponsers on this one.

[lawrywild]

mmmmmm a 3D contest with great prizes, count me in :D

[Tyrou]

+1, count me in too :woot:

[massman]

3d contest is fun to do :)


if I only had the setup :(

[Starscream]

hope it doesnt require skill or luck for that matter :D

[massman]

?

if it isn't a skill-competition, it's isn't xtreme :)

[WeStSiDePLaYa]

nice to see people in the community setting stuff up. we all know competition is good for advancements.:toast:

[[XC] leviathan18]

nice another comp

do you plan to give an entire system? isnt better just to give every part so you have more winners more ppl happy :D

[cadaveca]

Yummy.

WTG Fugger on the freebies!!! :woot:


:pimp:


Way to work it! ;)

:cord:

[[cTx]Philosophy]

interesting to say the least, i hope it isnt see who scores highest in 3d cause theres gonna be no point in me evenb entering it



wish it was like im picking a special number and whoever scores as close to it as possible wins
and make that number 29kish so i can get close :) in 01
:)
all others im not even gonna comment on caus emy pc just blows :(

[HiJon89]

Sounds good. I think it would be cool to have a contest that takes some skill rather than pure luck like some other contests. Maybe the first person to get a target score in 3DMark01?

[speed bump]

Nice i'm in to can't wait to try this out.

[Charloz24]

Count me in too! :D

[nike]

count me in also :D even if i cant compete :P

[giorgioprimo]

signed! :)

[Micutzu]

wish it was like im picking a special number and whoever scores as close to it as possible wins

That's called "lottery" not "contest", my friend.

[Jochenp]

I'll sign in too :D

[Entity_Razer]

If I can get my DX back from the dead and I'm allowed to run with my lappy also I'll gladly enter :) (even if it's just for fun)

[HARDCORECLOCKER]

:D Wow - nice idea I sold my Promy and WR X850XT some time ago though.......:stick: <--------(me)

:toast:

[-Acid-]

I'm up for this

[[XC] DragonOrta]

I'm in!

[chew*]

I may be in depending on how the contest is implemented. If its hardware biased I will step out in an attempt to allow someone with lesser hardware to win.

[phelan1777]

:rolleyes: :eek: :clap: :woot: CONTEST!??!??!??!

What do we have to do, who do we have to pay, or perform personal favors for????????:D ;) :) :cool: :p:

[n00b 0f l337]

The last order of smilesy can be summed up as....

Smile for free stuff
Wink about the sexual favors
Have fun doing it
Realize the taste is bad
Spitting bad taste out

:hump: :cord: ?

[Disposibleteen]

Sounds like fun, hope i have a chance to win.

[Axylone]

It doesn't make sense for a contest with such great prizes to be hardware based because the people who need the upgrade the most wouldn't have a chance. Hopefully I can even compete with a 9700 pro.

[Jochenp]

Let's just hope it requires xtreme overclocking skills and not xtreme expensive hardware.

[JuanFlaiter]

Me and my 7800GT are in :D

[Charles Wirth]

Should be starting up on Friday Febuary 24th around 4PM PST.

[I_G]

:party:

[Harshal]

Ok then... friday it is then.... well really wish to win somethin :) I have never competed or won, as over here theres nothing like this... which interests.

[Jochenp]

What will you have to do for the contest anyway?
I'd really like to know, so I can prepare some stuff (like my benchtable and stuff, if it's necessairy)

[^don.k's^]

Great! Waiting for the rules! :toast:

[Lord_RTKK]

It could be funny... ;);)
I will compete if I dont have to work so much this weekend... :D

[barbapappan]

I´ll give it a shot too...

[n00b 0f l337]

A quesiton though, what about those without SM3.

Hey, no one said that it will be a highest-score-competition...
It could be a screenshot thread too, like we had before. Or maybe something else...

[Vapor]

I'd like something like hitting a perfect number....pitiful hardware that scores in the single digits could even compete. :)

Of course, there are only 4 within reach :lol:

6, 28, 496, 8128, 33550336 are the first 5


Now to find a graphics card....good thing this'll be running while I'm at home with the only working 3D card I have (9800XT, lol).

[OmegaMerc]

hmm cant wait :banana:

[rick_fx]

I'm definitely going to give the competition a try :)

[goreblast]

Count me in too, when are the rules going to be posted?

[[cTx]Philosophy]

[goreblast]

[angra]

So when is 4pm PST in respect to UK GMT?

don't quote me, but I think that is midnight UK time.

[goreblast]

A while to wait then

[Charles Wirth]

Make sure you have 2K1 loaded.

Going to make this a quick contest, winners should be announced tonight. Yes winners.

[speed bump]

So whats the contest got my 2k1 all loaded up and ready to go.

[chunkylover77]

I'm in.

[KViper19]

ahhh not fair!lol! im not home i want to compete not like ill win anything but i want to try

[goreblast]

Its a race against time for me then. Installed windows, chipset drivers, just installed cats, now for 3dmark, then I can start the updates from microsoft.

[angra]

Make sure you have 2K1 loaded.

Going to make this a quick contest, winners should be announced tonight. Yes winners.

2k1 = 3dmark 2k1? I am guessing yes. I am new to this contest concept. I have a house project tonight that is on a tight schedule, anyway, so may not have time to participate. This whole concept is very interesting.

[goreblast]

Fugger when you say quick. If you post the rules at 4pm your time, how long after that would someone be able to complete what they have to do to in order to enter the competition. I ask as this is midnight my time and I wont be able to be around for much longer after that before bedtime!

[Charles Wirth]

Should I change the date for Saturday for best possible chance for attending?

4PM PST means people will be at work on west coast.

:eek: If you feel that's best...

[dinos22]

rofl how long is this contest going to go for 5 seconds heheheh

and the winner is = FUGGER

w00t thanks guys i really didn't try that hard to be honest :lol:

[angra]

I would not presume to advocate on my own behalf, and in my case the whole weekend is in a time crunch anyway. Plus I've never done one of these before anyway :).

But, since you asked, I do think that Saturday would maximize the number of potential participants. Especially given how geographically widespread the userbase is here.

[goreblast]

Whenever will be the same for me, so honestly doesnt matter. I say go ahead today - people have been gearing up for it afterall.

[Movieman]

I'm home but your right, much more fair for the people that are working now if you go to saturday.

[Charles Wirth]

Rules will still be posted at 4PM PST.

Prizes will be based upon praticipants finishing order.

[Starscream]
