2012 Competition MADNESS

[BlueScreen]

Picking out a case is actually the biggest problem so far

Hah, I have the same problem. Gonna buy a new computer some time soon, although I can't decide which case to pick. I wanted to get the fractal design ARC midi. It looks awesome, has lots of ncie features and is relatively cheap. It's best looking case I've managed to find so far. The only problem is I don't like the fact that the front bezel is made out of plastic. The thing is you need to take it off completly in order tog et to dust filters, which as I have been told, accumulate lots of dust. So I am afraid that eventually, no matter how sturdy the plastic is, some clips may break off. And that would be a terrible thing.

So, if you mentioned the problem of picking a nice case, could someone perhaps help me with that? I am looking for nice and elegant case, with removable HDD cage, lots of ventilation, filtered intakes and not much plastic. I'd really like it to ahave a side window too, since it will be standing on top of my desk.

I have been thinking about the 800D for a LONG time aswell, I know that a 360 rad fits in the top of it but I'm not sure if that will be enough with an OC'd cpu aswell as 2x OC'd 680s:/

And Caselabs... Oh yes! I will definatelly look into them abit more, I fell in love with the STH10 but my god that thing is HUGE

how about this one, alittle smaller but still v.good

Edit: Where could one get ahold of that?

Would be nice to see a competition for the 'loyal' and 'post mad' users. I see so many contributions from others regarding hardware help and such, I think these are the people the prizes should go to.

Not moaning, just saying it's a shame to see prizes given to people who's intention was to win a competition.

I agree that it's a shame that more OC3D loyalists don't win. The unfortunate fact though is that companies just aren't interested in sponsoring 'selective' competitions, and there's very little we can do without their help

Then of course, once you open the competition to all, the loyalists only represent a small (tiny) percentage of the total number of entrants (think - verging on 6 figures), and if anything it becomes almost amazing that someone on the forum did win.

I wish we could do more, but its not as easy as it might sound

you should start a thread in "project log" section, so we can see your build come together!

Hold a mini competition on the side as "payment" for the strain on the server/ISP?

Oh right, those little devil cases arent manufactured.. Means I'll have to craft it myself.. Definately doable as I work with metal daily but not sure if I actually have the time for it:-/

Oh crap! Wow, how could I have missed that?! I wonder how much it would cost to ship to sweden though. Spending 700£ on a case might be pushing it

Edit: Whoop, new vid from TTL! Better check it out
