2012 Competition MADNESS

Mine got banged up pretty good, you can see the pics of the damage in my post in last years thread I think it was. I do not think it was my guy that picked it up and shipped it for me but rather somewhere along the way while DHL had it.

My wife just got out of the hospital, broke her back and had spinal fusion surgery. For you UK'ers, that means I owe a ton of money, plus my wife almost died, so there's that.

I also just found out that there was a screwup on my federal tax witholdings, and I have to pay the feds a lot as well.

I literally put up my watercooled build on craigslist as well as all sorts of ancillary stuff to help cover the costs a bit. I'm hoping I get some good news from this competition to lift my spirits!

No delibarate offence dude,but really?thats what you come up with?am starting to wonder if these comps should be open to non members,some of these are soo funny,its not funny.

michalius@If I have upset/or struck a nerve I do apologize,but otherwise,PLEASE do not spam the thread with illness posts,dude,by this point,NOTHING you say will make a difference,so leave the begging away?

I really am sorry if this post offends some people,but this is turning south faster than last year ffs.(traffic is good,except when it makes you look like a clown,nice Tom,2 years running you are going for it!)

Sorry if it seems harsh,BUT you are making the same mistakes over and over,You of all peeps should be better than that!!

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 see what ur saying i am a member, but an open comp brings in more members which in turn brings in more revenue, as folks look through the forums and see what they can do with there own rigs and not only the forums the main website as well its a fantastic advertisement and a great way to improve the quality of the site just my thoughts
 
Newbie ^ Not a member, yet.

Amm and not all people go look through the forums.... they just stay here to get free stuff and say silly stuff...

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...http://forum.overclo...place-rig-pics/

Wow, I'd be pissed if that happened to me for any parcel.

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'.

Ye man,DHL signature

I died in order to k.ll them
 
Game Over, that kind of damage would make me shed a little tear and maybe get a tad punchy with the delivery driver! shocking!

The suspense in this thread is building....

Some companies show so little respect for customers items, I travelled 20 miles yesterday to get the last of my build, thankfully in one piece thanks to Aria packing it so well, but it was a pretty bashed up box all the same, City link is a terrible company in my area, sure it's not the same everywhere, but I want Aria to let me use parcelforce as city link just doesn't cut the mustard, had my item come like that thou I think someone would have been getting a black eye, hope your able to sort the mess out that they have given you without too much hassle.
