BENCHMARKS:
There are essentially no rules for the enthusiast competition so you can run any benchmark you want to post. If you like your PC running stock thats cool too post pics of the rig but you better have overclocking experience or you will get smashed in Sydney (juuuuuuuust kidding lol).

REMEMBER > Three people qualify for live event which means you are all guaranteed prizes and the prizes are going to be sweeeeeeeet

The idea here is to pull off your PC cover and OC what you have, OC the HDD, video card, CPU, girlfriend's vibrator, use your imagination. Pics of the rig are mandatory and the more involvement the better the chance of being selected. Online poll will be created to pick two finalists and the third finalist will be selected by judges. This is a popularity contest people so dress to impress

Thanks Dino for heads up, clarify title says 250+ people but the final limited to 150 people ? what of the other 100 people ?

Cutting it close rego web site end of week april 23rd with closing date may 5th, that gives folks only 12 days or 2 week ends (4 days) for folks who busy during week days.

Also GTX3 corsair modules newer than GTX2 or typo ?

GTX3 FTW and WD VelociRaptors are also SATA3 ones

the other 100 will be resellers and media guys plus some vendor ppl I invited

I cant say it yet as it hasnt been announced but one of the vendor's coming potentially is a good mate of mine and well known around here.....i hope it gets the green light
