there is a winner, I just am too busy to tally all this stuff and send out prizes - people who are in the final round please send me your address so I can try to get these prizes out once I determine the final order.

**Ashraf** · 10-13-2009, 04:50 PM

I am late to read this, but let me know if you need my mailing address now or soon.

**SNiiPE_DoGG** · 10-13-2009, 10:41 PM

I have yours ashraf (I think, I need to check my paypal) - I just need to get them all so that I can figure out what shipping will cost me

**Tsaroth** · 10-17-2009, 07:00 PM

I sent you my mail address for the prizes.

**LogAn'sRun** · 10-21-2009, 02:31 AM

and what's the final tally now? Do we even get to know who won?

**LogAn'sRun** · 10-25-2009, 01:59 AM

I guess no one won. . . .

**SNiiPE_DoGG** · 10-25-2009, 10:55 AM

I havent received all addresses of contestant, I need MAILING ADDRESS (one person sent me their email

)

I need to price out shipping and sort out who gets what prizes before I announce

I have a box here full of prizes that I dont want to keep!

**Ashraf** · 10-25-2009, 05:26 PM

Excuse me, but I don't understand.

Why do you need all contestants' mailing address to figure out what the shipping cost is? Can you not calculate a shipping cost for whoever sent you their mailing address? Aren't the prizes supposed to be based on the points?

**SNiiPE_DoGG** · 10-25-2009, 07:12 PM

I have lots of prizes and I already listed who I need addresses from.

Sorry that this is so rinky dink and unprofessional, but its just the way I need it to happen so I know how much money I need to put towards shipping (looks like a lot due to international shipping). I am not a rich guy so its probably going to happen that I need to earn the money for shipping once I find out how many prizes are going where.

**Ashraf** · 10-25-2009, 08:34 PM

While I understand that, but I still don't understand why you need every contestant's mailing address in order to find out how much you will need to spend to ship all prizes. I mean it is not like you are going to ship all the prizes together to one location. Whoever sent you the mailing address first, why not ship it instead of waiting for all others to send you their mailing address? When you are out of funds, those who sent you the info late will have to wait. Just my idea.

EDIT: Would it be such an issue if I sent you some money to ship my prize?

**LogAn'sRun** · 10-25-2009, 09:57 PM

I would still like to know who won. . .

**Duke-Nukem** · 10-27-2009, 02:33 PM

2 1/2 months later and there is still no posted winner? I wish there was something nice I could say snipe, but I can only offer these suggestions. I'm not trying to be a jerk, but it seems much of this could have been easily foreseen with a little planning and maybe hitting the USPS website to calculate some shipping costs to say, Siberia and use that as a worst case to plan your financial investment into shipping. Also, I am not sure how many "prizes" you are giving away, but that would be something to consider as well. 10 prizes that weigh in at 5-10 pounds could cost you plenty...

**LogAn'sRun** · 10-29-2009, 10:42 PM

Sniipe: I appreciate being on the list and am heartened to have won something, but in lieu of your economic shortcomings, I can save you the shipping to sweden and please award my prize to someone else. I'm not building anything ATM and feel it would be better suited to someone who is!
Thanks again for the contest!

**paul_** · 10-30-2009, 05:52 AM

Third place is Awesome! This was a fun contest, thanks for all the amusement, Sniipe. I'm pretty sure I sent you my address, but if you need it again, lemme know and I'll PM you.

**Ashraf** · 10-30-2009, 04:56 PM

About time! Congratulations to the people who are on the list!

Thanks for the contest, Ian! This was indeed fun.

**Power_VANO** · 11-01-2009, 12:51 AM

**SNiiPE_DoGG** · 11-01-2009, 12:29 PM

2) list:

EK Supreme Acetal with amd and 775 mounting
Lamptron FC2 fan controller in Black

Design consultation (cad drawing) of a part you need for your build

I am still trying to get my school to authorize my new copy of solidworks 2009 so that design consultation may be delayed (issues with my connection through the remote VPN to the download server due to windows 7/64-bit incompatibility)

**Power_VANO** · 11-03-2009, 03:26 AM

So far, so good

Sniipe, can u explain the "pick-em as we go method"? How will it be determined who gets what?

Tsaroth says what he wants, then Paul_ and so on? or how?

**0Ro!** · 11-03-2009, 03:59 AM

Many thanks Snipe for such great and funny contest
