Sliced 1/2"ID/3/4"OD Feser UV Tubing and 1/2"ID/5/8"OD Tygon Tubing seasoned with a mix of hose clamps and a side of 40mm Fan Grills all in a light Primochill PC Ice sauce with a dash of Arctic Cleaning 1 and 2 for flavor. Then a little tubing anti-kink coil for a little more color.
My block is a piggy and jumped in to eat as soon as it was done.
Lol, sweet I live near Park Ave.Quote:

The other half of that steak was good.

HAHAHA, this is the funny stuff now. Ashraf, I think you did awesome! :up:
On another note....I'm back in the game (no not the competition here). Just short a video card but gained a CPU. Think I will wait for the next gen ATI.
I got some difficulties to find tubing (I lost my normal tubing) but here it is :

Not so healthy, but yummm !!!!
OK, here is my breakfast for WB. It's hot, so GTZ is not eating it yet :D
Our meal includes 1/2" ID / 11/16" OD Tygon Tubing, 120 mm Fan Grill, fan wire clips, some screws/thumbscrews, hose clamps, plastic fittings and metal/plastic stop fittings, Thermalright Chill Factor, Arctic Silver 5 and as for liquid we have PT_Nuke -PHN, so GTZ won't die thirsty :D

Here's my waterblock - I'm at college and not terrifically well funded, so he is munching on yesterday's nachos... yummay!

Can't wait to see the next round. This contest is very amusing! Good contest SNiiPE! :up:
:p:
Sorry, i've been a bit of a bear since on the job injury and my knee being jacked up. :)
Good luck to everyone that participates :)

On the pic GTZ is jumping out of his new car, while his good friends - swifty pump and clouded tubing ( :D ) are already on the ground. There are two new friends - Swifty Rad and Silver KillCoils too.

cheers, dont worry you wont go home empty handed VANO and Ash :) - as for the rest of you, just watch for the next round ;) sorry I am so busy ;0
Ash, I was one of the last 2 to post but out of everyone that was left I was not one of the last two to post technically.
I guarantee you that there were at least 2 more people besides me that had not posted in the hat round.
:)

I am tempted to leave it open because bonus points are the biggest thing to win this contest.... I will ponder this and update later when I post the next round.
That doesn't even make sense to me, but okay. :lol:Quote:

Ash, what I meant was this.
Out of all the people that were still in the competition at that stage, I was not one of the last two to post a picture because some people didn't post a picture at all.
I was physically 1 of the last two to get a picture up there BUT, there were others that hadn't posted yet.
That's all I was trying to say. Sorry, sometimes I'm not as clear as I can be.

yeah it is not the best system..... let me decide what to do, just watch the thread :) sorry for the confusion
While I agree, they were still in it cause they posted prior (the boat and breakfast and stuff).
If he held a round where last 2 who posted were dq'ed and only 2 people out of 8 posted, then everyone would be dq'ed.
You see what I mean :)

So, to be totally fair, if Ash and Vano are out, then Paul and Tsaroth should be out. Them's the rules right?

Soooo, Symon says:
Post a picture of Ashraf and Power_VANO with their WBs going out on vacation :D
So me and Ash are out, good luck everyone for the next rounds :)
Tnx Snipe, but please, shed some more light on everything or the speculation comes to be possible, as it seems. Rules should be rules :)Quote:

Contest should be very black and white: Simon says - post a picture. Everyone who did not post was eliminated. That was a given. Simon says - post a picture and the last two to post (a picture) are eliminated.
What you've done now is made a biased decision upon the last contestants. And that's not fair.
To avoid controversy and bad will, you should allow all to participate who posted a picture in the last round, and then clearly define the rules of elimination for the next round. Otherwise your contest has no merit and you might as well give the FC to whoever you like - thanks for participating.
Nice thread crapping. Give yourself a pat on the back. :up:
sorry guys I let the contest down: too much things to do but I thing I entered the competition correctly (http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...8&postcount=70)Quote:

Ian holds a round, says last two to post a pic are eliminated and there are 4 people left.
2 people post and the other two, knowing they are out, don't even post because they have figured the other two beat them to the punch.
Since the last 2 guys didn't post, that makes the first two people the last 2 to post a picture.
So there's nothing wrong with that scenario? :shrug:
No one wins the contest and the round is over. 2 are out by excluding themselves and the other 2 are out because they were 'technically' the last two to post a picture.
and then i lose b/c i wont see any more hilarious pictures, lol.
keep up the good work guys!
Yep, I understand that rule this way. I was one of the two last posters.Quote:

Anyway, to avoid bad will and dissent SD should not eliminate anyone for the last 2 rounds (besides those ppl who were eliminated because they never posted a pic) and just get on with the next round.
But hey, not my contest, so whatever right?
GL to those who are left :)
Eliminate everyone and start over......
No, that's pretty sound logic once described as such, so I fully understand the misunderstanding. It's a fair question and scenario. I'll leave this and my 2 cents alone and wish you all GL! Keep up the good pics!Quote:

Simon says your nearing the end; Post the funniest demotivational you can come up with that involves your waterblock or any other water cooling components. You are only allowed 2 entries(pictures) into this round - no one will be eliminated and the round will run until I decide to end it.
THIS LIST is eligible for this round - I have decided to eliminate nobody in the latest round and base standings on bonus points from here on out instead of elimination. Its easiest for me and fairest to everyone IMO. (end of discussion on the topic plz)
