Nice 8)

Got to a point where my old case was holding back any plans for the future. So I went all out. Can't bevieve everything fit looking back at it.

Watch, everything will start getting smaller for the enthusiast market.

Congratulations!!!

Aus-Amdfan Is the Winner of the AMD Forum Rig Of The Month.
Marioland is the Runner up.

This has got to be the first Split decision for the Winner and Runner up. With 24 total votes, it was still a tie. I had devised a method to break the tie if it came down to this and was going to break each rig down and award points for different categories of the build. The Rig with the most points at the end was going to be the winner. Then I was going to make a post that would break it all down. This way everyone would know that I didn't just flip a coin to choose. I did not have to do this however because in a privet message to me Marioland respectfully requested that Aus-Amdfan take the win, and that he was going to withdraw from the next months competitions until he redid his rig.

So by merit of Marioland, Aus-Amdfan will take the win for this month.................

Canis-X ...... If you would, please present the Badges.......

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

Congrats to both of you!! It was hard picking out the winner this month for sure!

Thanks everyone. It always seems like it comes down to the wire when I'm involved in the later stages of voting. Good job to all the participants, great rigs.

Congratulations aus-amdfan, please don't let my decision take away from your win. You deserve every bit of recognition your rig has garnered.

Thank you Canis-X for the badge. Tiny pic works for me now, amazing what a fresh install does. And thanks to X-Tremedreamer for all your time and work to keep this going.
