I honestly think this contest is going to fail if you don't change it. Some of use (like myself) don't have thousands of dollars to pump into machines or the kind of cameras to take good pictures. Even if it's not based on those specs people are going to still go for the ones that are more powerful and look nicer via photos or nicer cases. It's not going to work unless you make categories. Or at least a category every month like some one else suggested. Such as best retro rig. Categories I believe are a must for this contest to continue.

My two cents.
I'm with you Denther. For example, you've got a pretty sweet rig there, but people would probably vote for my rig or Voyager's when/if he gets his photos up, not because of the hardware, but just because of the photos - we're both keen photographers. Your rig was probably better value for money than mine and Voyager's, but when voting, people won't take that into consideration.

Byte, I do think you need to categorize. Maybe this month's can be "the best photo" or the "the best presentation/location for a photo" and next month's "the best value rig" and the month after "the best retro build" etc etc?

It does need categories, otherwise this is gonna be a one time contest and that's it. That's why the photo tourney has survived as long as it has.

I will seriously look into this idea. A new catagorie every month, I think I will do that. But this month will remain as it is, just overall.

Ill throw some in, but I will not win ever. I think vista has it at this point, or the guy he was saying would.

Desk, monitor, case is over on the side.

I don't have a current one of the cable management behind the case panel.


Did you paint your HAF 912? Looks nice.

No, dont remove them all.Keep one of inside, one of outside. :)
It is not the fact that you ask me to remove it. Its the fact that apparently you are illiterate. reference

So im done. They are gone, and I would love it if you could edit your quote there with snip or just remove the pic links.

Today was a crappy day out, so I'll snap some pics either before or after work tomorrow.

denther, get rid of all that dust and youll have my vote


:eek: Well since I know I won't win this month (vistakid :p) and we do categories like mentioned, I'll stand a better chance when we do a category like best budget rig or something like that. :) I also need to do more cable management and clean it out better.

Man if we did best budget rig you'd be up there! Mine was pretty good value (with the 2500K and the second hand £100 5870 and all) but your's with the quad-core Phenom II and the 5770 does represent better value for money than mine.

If I had gotten the 6850 like I had planned it would be even better but I kinda ran outta money, so I downgraded. :/
