Here are a few pics below, The PC was packed very well with the firm foam and strong boxes, also the metal that was bent/dented is pretty tough stuff so they had to really bang it hard or put something very heavy on to be able to dent it. But I did not mind, its still a great PC. You can see the full post of my PC arrival at this link...

Wow, I'd be pissed if that happened to me for any parcel.
haha, but i agree, member only and have a minimum of X posts, or X liked comments because these 'open' comps bring in a lot of ppl that aren't even computer enthusiasts, i know its done just to bring in more new members, but common, quality over quantity.
maybe next time announce it and ppl that want to be part of the forums can join and then enter (again they should be made to post, and if anyone is found spamming random crap automatically kik them from comp)
I know I'm a new member, but I do agree with you.
I can't actually remember where I heard about the competition, but I've tried to make an effort to make some posts on the forums over the last few weeks, because I didn't want to just enter a competition and have made no effort to come and talk to like-minded people. I was planning on building a rig anyway before I joined, so it was actually quite lucky that I found this place because it was exactly what I was looking for. Somewhere to learn about the current products on the market and somewhere that would have great members to help me build my next rig. I don't plan on leaving soon. (sorry
)
I completely understand what the older members must be thinking though. I've read some ridiculous things on this one thread alone in the last few weeks from down-right begging to win, to some ridiculous stories that people must have made up, thinking that It would make everyone feel sorry for them, and so they'd win. Usually from people that have joined and have three or four posts and sometimes all in this one thread.
Well... if you win, I really hope you stick around on this forum because TTL and the team have worked really frickin' hard to get these prizes built for us, and for someone to just come and do a hit and run would be pretty shameful in my opinion.
Not only that, but if the older members are anything like me, then they'll at least want to see these rigs be put to good use. We want pictures/videos and then updates on how it's running etc. because I think that it's the least the winners could do for everyone else.
I understand that this might not be possible for everyone... I guess...
I hope everyone understands how AMAZING these prizes are, these are Top of the range computers and to use them to go on facebook and play farmville or something ridiculous like that would be stupid.
Jus' Sayin'.
