HWBOT giveaway

[cdawall]

so what do you think w1z and urlyin have said some stuff about it w1z thinks its a good idea and urlyin said to make this thread so HERE YOU GO.

what do you think TPU? what should we giveaway and how should it be givenaway?


i was thinking a raffle like system based off the number of entries you make to HWBOT would work but this may become unfair as ppl may have more systems thatn others so what do you think suggestions would be nice.

Here's a easy way to do it CD ... lets just say to enter you must have a HWbot entry using the TPU as the site ... post your info or your hwbot bench format( forgot the format ) ... to enter and we'll draw the post number like the Mushkin PSU giveaway ..


I have some Ultra Products to giveaway as well as a Xigmatek cooler

[Darksaber]

I got two prizes:

XTracPads Ripper XXL & Icemat Siberia in:Ear headset

i will as soon as i get the ram i've ordered today.
2 GB's of samsung.

my existing 1 gig of kingston started acting up on me, and i got a really good (almost dirt cheap) deal on 2 gigs of samsung ram...

[pt]

damn you, for making me wanting to change teams!

[erocker]

I'm onboard!

[nflesher87]

sounds like a good idea! I think there should be a minimum total points though to qualify...at least 5
and how the heck do you get those sigs with your stats? I want one

Pop in like a Nvidia 4xxx series . That's why I like my gfx.....there are like 60 people that have it

i have got a 4400 somewhere, they were (reasonably) rare, ive got a 4200 too but theyre quite common (or were anyway, plus mines a pny with crappy ram), and all sorts of socket a chips (thunderbirds, palomino's, thoroughbred a+b, bartons et al)

Nice go crazy, I need to get my hands on my grandparents P3 @ 600 mhz. I can push it up to like 120 some...giving me 700-800 mhz I forget how much. The only problem was I couldn't unlink the processor from the ram, and their ram is only rated for 100 mhz. Otherwise a bump to 133 would be pretty easy. I also got a old socket 7 533 mhz amd with integrated graphics, just need to get a new fuse for that. We have a p4 with integrated graphics, but I can't place because p4-> no overclocking (dell) integrated graphics-> no overclocking, and the p4 isn't fast enough to place.

I'm going to use this:

PII, deffinately one of the last P2's
Some motherboard
3dfx Voodoo 5

I just picked the rig up for free, the vid card I already have.

hmm, looks promising, i found an old thunderbird 1133,a palomino 1900xp, a 600mhz duron (morgan core?) and a 6000rpm fan to put on the old thermalright socketA lump of copper (i think its a 947), i know one of my old nforce2's does 230-240fsb (or at least it does with a barton), and an old stick of ddr600 (only 256mb though)

np ... not a competition ... more of just running a benchmark and posting under Team Techpowerup ... so you don't need a monster machine
