Scavenger Hunt Contest! Sponsored by Thermaltake

Not trying to knock you guys out or anything, but do peripherals count as components? When i think of components, i think of parts that actually go in your pc...

Not sure what the technical definition may be, they go in/on a PC. So they'll work for me.

I thought about that before my picture actually, but here's what I came up with. I argue that without any input/output system a computer will have nothing to compute and no way to give you useful feedback if it somehow did. And thus the term "peripheral" is a bit of a misnomer - a mouse, keyboard, and monitor are components as critical to a home computer as a hard drive or CPU (a fitting comparison IMO as a hard drive isn't strictly required either, yet it would be considered a "component" by almost anyones standard).

They were a little low on stock, but hey, still a wall full of graphics cards!

[Ashraf]

You guys are quick!

[IFMU]

Hell, if we get Ash to post up, I just might start the next round early. ^_^ lol

My best buy doesn't even stock graphics cards.

4th Hunt!

24 Hours from now is the Deadline!

Your post must have the image showing yourself, the banner and whatever is the 'object' for the hunt.

Local statue or monument.

Good Luck

[Otis11]

Local statue or monument.

Good Luck

Heck yes!

How bout biggest wins?

[Ashraf]

Would the Statue of Liberty end this contest?

[Serra]

Is there a minimum statue size? iirc there's a statue of Mary statue outside a nearby school, does that count or does it have to be more of a large statue/monument, or something a bit more unique to the area? I'm thinking the later is more in line with the spirit of the contest, but I want to check.

Would the Statue of Liberty end this contest?

Sure, if you want to be in second. The Gateway Arch (my local monument) is 192m tall - about 100m taller than your little statue... and that's measuring from the base of her foundation block

[Ashraf]

Or first if it is not about the size, but its age.

[IFMU]

I would prefer something that stands, say at least 3 feet in height, is made of stone or metal, something that is meant to be in that place for a large amount of time.
There is no real requirement, other than a statue or monument. Didn't really specify in the post, so it's the way it is.
So, guess it comes down to read it as it is written. ^_^ lol

[Ashraf]

lol, I look like mad in this picture, I blame the sun.

Statue: Grand Army Plaza.



I did not know I was quick, too.

[xxrabid93]

Can i post 2 pics? One of me with the monument and one of me with the plaque describing it?

I think 2nd is not necessary as long as 1st meets the requirements.

[xxrabid93]

Hmm, well the first one the scavenger hunt poster is a bit hard to read...

[xxrabid93]

WWII Memorial/statue in our town.
