I'm going to get back with you with which games I have to add as prizes :)

Of course I am in........LOL

You can add a Steam copy of Sleeping Dogs to the games giveaway.

Always wanted a 3930K, so I'm in this time :D

I am in. My wcg is jjames888, for if you had trouble figuring that out.

Hey [Ion], I pmd you about a potential prize, so let me know what you think.

Also, you can add in these games (all Steam keys, can go to multiple winners) from me:

• Toy Soldiers
• Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet
• DEADLIGHT
• Mark of the Ninja
• Iron Brigade

:toast:

Count me in then.

I'm in, gotta get to work on that i7 rig and get it online.

How do you turn in points?

I will participate in the competition...
would have crunched regardless, Although acquiring loot for stones is appealing :rockout:

In:)

I'm in.

Taking Part
 

I'm In!

What are you crunching with?

All you need to do is let World Community Grid run on your computer, it computes data and returns work units, and then they're validated by the WCG system and you get points :)


Prize list updated!

Please update the prize list with the following cruncher hardware:

- Radeon 7770
- 2x2GB DDR3 memory kit
- 500w PSU

If I can swing anything else I'll let you know :)

*note- I would like to request that any winners of hardware prizes commit to crunching for the Team for at least 3 months.

^ :respect:
and to all other contributors as well!

ah! did I say? - I'm in!

This is a great contest! Thank you so much TPU community for hosting it and I wish luck to all the winners and other crunchers of TPU.

Im in!

Looking forward to this contest! I like how it ends the day after my birthday too :p
