holy crap lol. was I a power user by any chance? dude sorry, I just so didnt really follow this thread

"Power Users" is a loose definition. No one was obligated to pull their name out of the running. Totally your option CP.

BUCK NASTY · Jul 28, 2009

Mmmmm, Buck likes the 8 expansion slots on that case. I'm sure I could find some dual-slot GPU goodness to fill it with....

Mindweaver · Jul 28, 2009

Very nice case!

Chicken Patty · Jul 28, 2009

well I dont think i've been a power user lately. But i'm still top 10 although thats rapidly changing. So for this one i'm out, i'll leave it up to someone else to take the case

KEEP CRUNCHING HARD!!

I just bought a Cooler Master HAF 932 that arrived today so you can take my name out of the hat. If I got that case I would have to put it in the middle of the floor.

The contest has begun. Have fun with this guys, and get crunching!!

It is mid-August

What are the standing????

theonedub · Aug 16, 2009

+1 for standings. Did the contest fizzle out or something?

mike047 · Aug 17, 2009

Hey guys......how about some love here...........

Who is in :rockout:

onry · Aug 17, 2009

im in im gonna try to get at least one or two more up today if i have the time after taking my son to the neurologist to find out why he is getting severe headaches

El Fiendo · Aug 17, 2009

The contest hasn't fizzled as far as I can tell, we should still have 1 month (or so) remainder to get 50000 points. It is a first contest, but its probably more quiet than it should be.

As a reminder, we're going for an XClio Thisamathinger:

PaulieG · Aug 18, 2009

All I've been doing is keeping track of who is on track to win the prize. I haven't been keeping exact statistics. I've just been too busy to keep a spreadsheet.

PaulieG · Sep 8, 2009

Just a reminder guys, contest ends on September 13th, and the contest winner will be announced on September 14th!!

theonedub · Sep 10, 2009

I was afraid I wasn't going to make the 50k req, I guess adding that Quad really helped

Who ever wins will really enjoy that case!

Duxx · Sep 10, 2009

How many people are currently in the running? Just checking out the odds :cool:

HammerON · Sep 12, 2009

I hope I am in the running. I have gained over 100,000 Bionic points since I added my i7 rig on 8/12/09 :rockout:

Checkout the "Milestones"

PaulieG · Sep 14, 2009

And the winner of the first TPU WCG contest is.....

ONRY!!!

Congratulations!! Please contact me with your shipping information, and we'll get the case right out to you!!

mrsemi · Sep 14, 2009

Congrats Onry.. :rockout:

*jealous*

I spent the better portion of yesterday shopping for cases.

Can't decide between the antec 1200, xclio 777, or a thermaltake kandalf someone's selling on this board, think I'll go for the used one.

t77snapshot · Sep 14, 2009

Congratulations Onry!!! You crunched hard and it paid off. :toast:

Enjoy your new case! :rockout:

onry · Sep 14, 2009

HOLY SH*T

onry

oily_17 · Sep 14, 2009

onry · Sep 14, 2009
