    Scavenger Hunt Contest! Sponsored by Thermaltake



    is sponsoring a contest for the members here at

    Xtreme Systems!

    This contest is USA/Canada only, sorry for everyone else, we will see what we can do for the next one!

    This will be a Scavenger Hunt!
    Unlike the last one, (The Kingston Hyper X - Scavenger Hunt), for this one, you will have to go outside!

    There will be 1st, 2nd and 3rd places.
    1st Prize: TR2 RX 1200w PSU


    2nd Prize: Element V Case


    3rd Prize: FRIO CLP0564 Heatsink Fan



    Scavenger Hunt Rules: (It will be handy to have a friend around for a few of these to take the picture.)
    1st: You must have a camera. Camera phone, digital camera, whatever.
    Just have some way to take a picture and be capable of uploading the image online to put within your post, the image is your daily entry.
    (Please limit uploaded pictures to 640x480 in size!) (No larger!! Any larger and you will be eliminated!)
    2nd: You will need a ‘banner’. Keep the size as close to 8.5x11 as possible. (standard printer paper)
    The Banner must state, "Thermaltake and Xtreme Systems Scavenger Hunt Contest, but may have additional info. (printed or handwritten)
    This must be readable when you take your pictures!!!
    3rd: In each picture taken, the ‘banner’ from 2, must be visible & readable!

    4th: Each image must be posted before the 24 hour deadline or you will be eliminated.
    Each post with the image is your daily entry!
    (Roughly 24 hours between each new posting, no less than, maybe more)
    I will not cut the 24 hours short, but due to real life, the next posting may end up being over the 24 hour deadline. This DOES NOT change the 24 hour deadline!
    5th: A new post will be up with details every 24 hours.
    In each new hunt, detailed specifics will be posted as well as those who are continuing to the next round.
    6th: The contest will continue until we are down to the final contestant.

    To enter, you must complete and post the 1st 'hunt' within the 24 hours.
    That is your entry.
    If you meet the requirements for each 'hunt', you will move on to the next round.
    Failure to meet the requirements, failure to post your image within the 24 hours from the originating post, failure to meet the pictures guidelines, you will be eliminated and not move on to the next round.
    When the next 'hunt' is posted, a list of those who have met the requirements for that hunt and who are continuing on for the next round will be posted.

    Good Luck to everyone!


    *EDIT*
    As per post #31 . . .
    Since the two entrants have agreed to allow others to continue in, etc.

    The next round starts now. There will be 48 hours to enter.
    *EDIT
    23 hours left to enter!!!
    SO ENTER FFS
    /*EDIT*

    Pulsar and Ashraf are exempt from this round and do not need to go "hunting" this time.


    Round 2 ~ ENTRY ROUND!
    Your post must have the image showing yourself, the banner and whatever is the 'object' for the hunt.

    Sitting on, swinging or standing next to a swing set.

    I really thought this would get more of a response than it has... becoming highly disappointed.

    Hell, the top 2 prizes are far from cheap in price! Let alone the quality of the all of them!

    umm can this please be extended? the only times i was able to check XS was when it was down a few times . maybe that's why it's not getting much views until now?

    I am very disappointed.

    Not sure IFMU could extend the first round, but I would hate to see the rules being broken.

    I hate to see this end here already.
    So I have a couple propositions for everyone.
    I'm about to head to bed, so I won't see anyones replies until later.

    1st, we could extend the first entry here, by 24 or 48 hours. Allowing others to join in.
    2nd, continue on, but allow people to join in, at say 2nd or 3rd round.

    I'm open to other suggestions as well.
    I'll follow up tomorrow some time.
