It's great to see PC modding getting some general press interest. I bet there are quite a few people who are interested enough to be finding out more and maybe even tempted to give modding a go after seeing that article.

Well it didn't say 'insane man caught molesting computers' .

Nice one guys .

Done, and moved the posts from it over to this one.

It's a very good article.

People take note at the bottom:

Have you modified your PC? Send your pictures and videos using the form below:

Send your pictures to yourpics@bbc.co.uk, text them to 61124 or you have a large file you can upload here.

Flood it I say. Be sure ur OC3D desktop pics and stickers (if u got them *cough* Kemp *cough* ) are in view.

If the response is that good, there'd likely be some kind of follow-up.

Or a OC3D grill

I'll think i'll email them my PC in my old case, as it was 10x neater and water cooled

haha sent, the old pics were uploaded somewhere else but have the "uploaded by overclock3d.net" at the bottom

I sent some pics in of one of my old rigs and got a phone call about 10 minutes later for permission to use them from the Beeb. Get the pics in quick! We need some good press coverage like this for this hobby!

 

[Brooksie]

Sweet Be sure to put in the description saying something like, I got alot of help from a awesome website www.overclock3d.net or something

Ahh u edited^

Recks you would be best mate. When they called, they just asked if the photos were mine (copyright) and if BBC could use them. Probs won't use any sent that they cant get hold of the owner to get permission.

 

[Brooksie]

yeah sent a pic back in with my number

 

[Rastalovich]

Be a little careful as to how much obvious comercial representation may be in the shots u submit, as although the pic would be great, it'll be overlooked immediately.

I.E. holiday snaps with gratuitous Pepsi-Cola product placing.

Great to see PC modding hitting the news, shame they didnt dust the akassa pc first!

 

[monkey7]

You should send in a few time to live and OC3D watermarked pics TTL I bet they'll get picked.
