Ok Guys, here goes....
I was the 2nd Place winner for last Christmas competition here at OC3D, Later dubbed "Snow White Competition".
First off Let me thank everyone.
1. Tom, Jim and everyone else at OC3D for this competition.
2. The Random number generator for choosing my number!
3. Dougdiamond for helping hook me up with a shipper/courier.
4. Shaun Rowley at ESS-EXPRESS Shipping. If anyone needs something shipped from Toms area on the Isle of Wight, Shaun is your guy.
5. And all the sponsors that donated all the parts for the rigs.
Not only did I win the Rig but also won some little goodies in a separate competition within the main competition where we all created some graphic art for the Snow White competition, Below are my submissions that won me some of the goodies you will see further down the page here.
My Church style Stained Glass with the Sponsors logos.
Poisoned by OC3D apple
Naughty White
OC3D staff hard at work, can you find Tom?
You probably wonder what took so long, Well I had a lot going on, Tom is always very busy and was away for that trade show and the such, and my local shipper on the Isle was in the middle of a move of his business and did not have internet for almost a month. It took quite some time to get to a point where all 3 of us were all ready to go at the same time. Better late than never.
Shipping started with Shaun at Ess-Express (link above) (2 boxes, one with Mobo, Case, SSD and Ram. Second with Cooler, GPU and goodies).
The packages had a bunch of transfers and movement in the 6,000 mile trip from Isle of wight to my house. They had 7 transfers in total, Each transfer to a new vehicle adds to the chance of damage, which there was a little....
Here is condensed version of the trip

Now for some Pics....
DHL van arrives from Los Angeles
The 2 Packages I have been waiting so long for.
Open first little box, Oh whats this? A Gigabyte Ruck sack, feels like something might be inside.
Full of goodies.
Here is what was in the ruck sack.
The first box also had the Cooler, NZXT case with power cables and the GPU.
Here is total contents of box1.
Now On to box2.
Here she is, with some slight damage, but Im happy to have it and not bothered by
the slight esthetic damage.
All 4 bolts were bent in like this one..
Inside
Needed to pick up an adaptor so I could plug my monitor into the PC, also had
to pick up some compound, this is the best they had on hand that day.
Cooler Install
DVI to AVG adapter
Lights on MOBO come alive as she is powered up for first time.
Rear of PC
All the Fans have dust filters, going to come in handy in our area.
Disc Drive cables.
The new kid and the old man.
This is how I would turn on my old PC, by touching these wires together, sometimes my desk fan being turned on or off would activate my PC to fire up.
Yep, she is ugly.
Check out my old video card, notice anything odd?
Yep, thats a fan ripped out of an old xbox 360, mounted to the card as the cards fan died.
Its alive
Ready to go..
And a game play video below, nothing fancy, but only game I got on it right at the moment, she plays smooth and stays cool. Graphic options all set to max, res just at 1024 x 768, maintained fps in High 70s, on Operation Flashpoint Red river.
