Neo Posted February 23, 2004 Posted February 23, 2004 Okay I just had to share this with OCC. I don't know if anybody lives in Utah but we have a local computer store called "Totally Awesome Computers" (it's pretty lame) Anyway I just saw a T.V. commercial from them saying that if anybody can build a faster rig than they can, they will give you a $1,000.00!!! I am sure that somebody at OCC could do this very easily, and it would be quick money. (not to mention I would love to see this guy eat his words) I didn't hear any rules or exceptions to the challenge so it sounds pretty straight up guys. Just thought I would pass the info along.

FunkyMonkey Posted February 23, 2004 Posted February 23, 2004 i think we should all rally together in this thread to creat the ULTIMATE RIG but who plays for it? and also is it only the cpu speed? do u need stuff like GPU's hard drives etc. because u can just have a mobo cpu blah blah because i saw someone guy overclock to 5ghz with liquid nitrogen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sly_C Posted February 23, 2004 Posted February 23, 2004 yeah, plus its only $100, i don't knmow how much the sweet rig u would built would cost but most likely u'd jus tbe covering the costs of what u built. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hades25 Posted February 23, 2004 Posted February 23, 2004 no he said 1000 dollars prize Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eva_Unit_0 Posted February 23, 2004 Posted February 23, 2004 Heck, we could just use our current systems...no point in building a new one. The guy probably doesn't overclock, so he stands no chance. Is the guy willing to just exchange benchmark scores over the internet, or does he want to meet in person? If he'll do it over the internet, then Bigred or Nuclear could EASILY stomp all over him with their comps. Or if all else fails even MY little comp could beat anything he can make if I ramp my cpu up to above 2.4ghz. (not entirely stable, but stable enough to run benches) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AYoKoNA Posted February 23, 2004 Posted February 23, 2004 no he said 1000 dollars prize Either way thats not enough money to build an uber computer... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClayMeow Posted February 23, 2004 Posted February 23, 2004 neo, maybe you can clarify, but it sounds to me that the competition is how fast you can build a computer, not how fast you can get a computer to go, eva. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

slugbug3311 Posted February 23, 2004 Posted February 23, 2004 Just get a computer with onboard everything so all you have to do is install the cd drives and cables and a couple of little wires! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly_C Posted February 23, 2004 Posted February 23, 2004 no he said 1000 dollars prize yes i know he said a 1000 prize, but if u build another uber computer with ur own money and u win that 1000 dollars is barely enough to cover ur costs or it does it doesn't giv eu much prize money.
