Oops I missed the part about it being only for Canada and the US

Basically this is what they are looking for.

Eligible users are allowed to post system project goals, anticipated challenges, diagrams, pictures, videos and sketches. Convince us you are capable of building your Xtreme Design.

Basically with parts they have listed show how you put it together and with what case. Show pics, videos, sketches, or whatever to show how you would put it together and what it would look like. If you have a fancy case with a design show what it would look like when its complete. Talk about the goals you would be trying to obtain with the system such as a certain overclock or a certain score that sort of thing.

Your base system will have to use the parts provided. But you are free to add more things like watercooling, custom case, more memory, additional storage etc etc. but you have to at least use the parts provided. SUPPORT THE SPONSORS!

But this contest is not just about who can build the most high end setup. That's something anyone can do...

What we are looking for is how would you use these parts and the ASUS Xtreme Design features to help you do the things you want to achieve from your system.

For example: If you're a noob at overclocking, maybe you can utilize the Turbo V Evo to do the manual work for you. Maybe you want this system to edit your movies, or music, or play games. Tell us what you want to achieve with this system.

And finally we want to see videos, images, sketches, descriptions, anything... of how YOU would make this system look. Custom case? Purchased case? will it look super clean? or super ugly? Make it your own.

Make it within your reach as well. Because if we pick you as a winner, we want to see this system built!

We want winners to talk about their experience with the products they received, and how Xtreme Design features made your life better.

LMK if that helps

Hmm, been wanting an excuse to build socket 1156 system... that and fab up my own case

Wonder why nvidia chose the gtx260 over some of their newer cards..


-How would you build your "Xtreme" System if you won the sponsored hardware.
I would start off by fabbing up a case similar to a Sunbeam Acrylic UFO Cube Case(or possibly modifying one, as I have used this case before http://customerpics.xoxide.com/viewimages....111&id=1909) paying close attention to wire management as Acrylic cases dont hide much. I'd be adding a 1TB drive for storage and a DVD for movie's.

-What is your "Xtreme Design" system's goal.
To have a quite semi-portable system that would work as an entertainment system/gaming/folding rig..

-How ASUS' "Xtreme Design" motherboard features help your system and daily life.
I wold use the turbo functions to boost performance while gaming or folding and turn it back down for movie watching or listening to music, taking advantage of the boards audio.
