If finalists haven't been notified by now then I doubt the boards will get to them before the 15th when round 2 results are due. Let's get crackalackin :)

Only 11 days before round 2 starts. Depending on where finalists live it might take that long for the boards to get there.

I didn't even notice how old my version of super pi was. I honestly thought super pi was super pi. Can you tell I don't overclock that often :)

I noticed some entries were missing cpu and/or motherboard pics. If rules are followed to the tee then those entries should be disqualified.

Rules are rules after all.

Two entrants just edited their entries and added pics, probably after reading this post. I hope FS will consider this when choosing the ten finalists.

Well this is great! I picked up a Biostar board to take part in this contest and the damn thing won't post properly :( I can't even install Windows :(

I hope their E-Support answers quickly and can help me before the deadline.

Actually there should be three classes.
- air cooling
- water cooling
- Extreme(phase change, LN2 etc)

Any response to our questions and concerns DanT?

By not establishing Air, Water, and Extreme Cooling categories into the rules, the contest is basically been left open to the few pro overclockers who have access to Liquid Nitrogen.

I believe there should be two categories: air cooling and water cooling. Leave the LN2 for the professional overclocking tournaments.

It was the same story when anyone would post a story about HD-DVD. The Blu Ray fanboys would inevitably show up and let us all know why their format was the better one.

By the way HD-DVD was and still is the better format :P

Future Shop stores in Canada were clearing out their stock of 20GB Pro models for $199. Too bad there were none left around here.

My Launch(Nov 2005)360 lasted 2yrs before succumbing from the RROD. Since then I've had 3 more replacements fail.

Wow who new s u c c u m b i n g was a dirty word. Check your dictionary mods.

Don't even get me started on USB 3.0. How many USB 2.0 devices are there that come close to reaching even 50% of the specs 480 mbps speed.
The industry needs to improve the current spec before releasing a new one with speeds that will never be realized.

Theoretical speeds mean nothing in the real world.

It might have been a good idea to start this contest in a new contest group instead of using an old one which was started over a year ago. Just my opinion.

Bioware had a contest last year with the same case design. No idea if they were painted by Smooth Creations or if it's simply a vinyl case wrap.

We do appreciate the giveaways Lyle, it's just that most of us would like to see a little more communication when problems or delays such as this arise.

A simple comment every week or so just to let us know what's happening would go a long way in improving things.

Drop those prices by another $100 and I might think of getting one.
