stefanels · Jun 5, 2009

BulgarianBoy92 · Jun 7, 2009

Good luck!

a_ump · Jun 7, 2009

dam how long is it going to take for them to select a design that they deem the best? lol

stefanels · Jun 7, 2009

Is taking to much...

Mussels · Jun 7, 2009

I dont even know who's judging it. I guess its w1zzard?

btarunr · Jun 7, 2009

Let W1zzard return from Taiwan. His return flight is today. Judges are from AMD, HIS and TPU.

buburuza · Jun 7, 2009

yeap, let`s have some patience

MRCL · Jun 7, 2009

That guy is having a massage by some asian chicks while we wait in agony... :laugh:

I'm excited who wins. Don't care if I don't may the best one win, I have a favorite design that I'd love to see amog the winners

Does anybody else think that comelon and Degeneration might be the same person???
they both have only one post, they set out there three entries virtually identical
and if you look at both there second entries the techpowerup logo is in exactly the same place with the white box around it

True, I just looked at it. Well, it might get noticed and he gets disqualified, lets see.

Mussels · Jun 7, 2009

its the same guy. Different IP's and email address, but same ISP, same IP range, same first name in the emails.

Victor, just got himself in doo-doo.

zAAm · Jun 7, 2009

I'm really interested in seeing who they judge to be the best. I wondered what HIS was actually looking for in the design. More of the same or something radical? It's a real tight contest I think. Don't think I'm inline for anything though... Although you never know... haha

stefanels · Jun 7, 2009

Most of the designs was submited by new users, and after that we don't see them at all on the forum... And maybe few of them made 2 or more usernames to participate on this contest...

You are and you are not wright!
Personally i joined in april but i have been using this site for 3-4 years now!I haven't joined before as i didn't think i could contribute enough in helping others with PC problems, but, after seeing many people have problems with their pcs that i had myself, having registered to university to study computer engineering, and this contest as well , made me decide to register!

i've learned more about Photoshop during this contest time than i had in 3 years since i'd been using it rarely! I can say i enjoyed it!

Anyway, may the best win! :toast:

I'm a new user too, technically anyway. But I visit techpowerup.com 2-3 times a day for about 2 years now and I also read the forum from time to time.

BTW, shame on those with 2 or more usernames...you make all newcomers look bad, and I for one, don't see why..5 entry's are really enough.

That being said, I wish all of you that played fair and square the best of luck!
