We'll take submissions from now until May 13th, after which new submissions will not be accepted, and should be submitted to the following month instead. Voting will then take place from the 14th until May 27th, and the winner will earn the right for the badge, runner up his.

I have been asking that new entrants PM me before posting their rigs, to preserve the thread, and make it easier for me to add your rig into the Voting thread when it is created. I will give you my email address to send your photos to, and at that point I will set them up for the thread and post them. I try hard to keep up on my PMs and mail so generally it is only a few hour delay between when you PM me and when you will see them posted in the thread. I don't really know if what I am doing is keeping the thread in tact, but I want to try for as long as I can to keep it in one piece. The people that know what the threads have done before in the past, may appreciate what I am saying.



While I can not enforce this, once voting commences, I request that zero-post accounts not vote, it destroys the honor of this competition, and nobody wants to win with dishonor. right?



Previous Winners may compete, only in the event of a major revision of their PC, major revisions include anything from a new cooler, new case, new lighting, or a huge case of re-wiring. GPU's I'm not sure about, as they are all about the same, but a new GPU with a new cooler, I think can apply.

On that note, My rig won in the month of April, and though it is seen here in this thread and will be labeled as the winner it will not be in the Voting thread. Once the runner up has been determined It will be so noted in here as well.

i want to enter but my mod is still incomplete im struggling to find a way to shape some mesh as well as needing to find some time to do some spray work :/

-------------------------

Ditto for me as well... I need to do a finishing coat on the paint since I had far too many runs due to painting out side on a 27th floor balcony... a bit too windy that day. Also have some mesh and grills to paint. So I will definately enter if I can find a calm day that coincides with wednesday or sunday (days off)

And the screwdriver is a vital part of it, I need that to tap on the harddrive sometimes to get it going.
