Hey guys,
Hopefully this doesn't come off as spam or advertising, as it's definitely not my intent. I'm just curious if anybody is from around the Arizona or Colorado regions?
I help Intel run a nationwide series of charity PC gaming events called Intel LAN Fest which is gaining ground pretty quickly. CPU magazine recently joined forces with us and they are sponsoring a case mod contest that I thought you guys might find appealing.
There are two LAN Fest events which will incorporate the case mod coming up soon -- one 5/23 in Colorado, and one 6/13 in Phoenix. The contest will be pretty simple, just show up with the most creative, awesome, clean, well-thought-out case, and win an Intel Core i7 965 processor ($1k value). Each LAN Fest event winner (i.e. the individual winners from each site) then gets entered into the finals, and the final winner gets his case on the cover of CPU mag + an article about it in the mag + $1500. Pretty freaking sweet.
The site (lanfest.intel.com) has more info on the events, too -- like what kind of other prizes and contests will be there, gaming tournaments, etc. The admissions fee for the event ($25) goes to charity and Intel matches it so they get $50.
Anyhow, I hope you guys will consider coming to one of these, helping charity, and showing off your cases (and probably winning the contest, if what I've seen here is any indication of what we see there :)). If Phoenix or Colorado isn't in your range of travel, there are more LAN Fests across the country that will be scheduled for later (and each should have its own case mod contest and prizes).
Thanks :)
