I can't install my graphics cards because mine won't boot with any expansion cards installed, and my onboard runs at like 30 fps on counter strike... not even source that is on 1.6

The contest will be preannounced well in advance with the exact rules. Once started, the fastest [complete] entry wins

Here's the contest.

I have meticulously gone through the completed worklogs to borrow photos of the mods of TBCS. Every photo I have found gets a snippet of it removed and posted here as such:

EXAMPLE ONLY

http://www.pcmodhouse.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/example1.jpg

Your Job is to look at the above photo and email me with what mod it is from. This pic is from my new Commodore project. There will be 20 pics all together. They are all completed mods.
The first complete and correct entry I receive will win. It may come down to the minute so there will be a second prize too. It's going to consist of an AMD Phenom Dual core and a motherboard.

I will post all of the pics at a preset time so everyone knows exactly the time to check the Stickied Contest thread (NOT THIS THREAD).

As of right now I plan to start the contest in the begining of April. Probably around the third. You will get the exact time later. This is the announcement thread and it will be changed when the contest begins. You guys can use it to formulate the answer. I'm sure there are members here who may want to help others claim the prize.

MSI H61M-E33 (onboard audio/video)
4GB DDR3 (2x 2GB)
650 Watt PSU
LG DVD-DL
500GB hard drive

Luckily for me, I've wasted days going through completed mods.

...but I guess so has everyone :P

I was actually wondering how well tineye would work for this. ;) But, I think the point is to promote/reward familiarity with the work being done around here, so, as with tests in school (hey, give me this one, it's probably the only time I'll ever be able to say that), the people who actually know the material will get the answers faster than the cheaters.

This. I looks at the logs/posts almost daily. Unfortunately I suffer from CRS (Can't Remember S@#t) so it won't help me, but I'm gonna try anyway. :)

I have the disadvantage of being a newer regular.


What would make it more interesting is randomly selecting a pic from a WIP.

Uh, no. I'm the one making the pics so Tineye would only show mine.
