Name the Thumbnail Mod Contest-WINNER!

[TheGreatSatan]

Ready, Set. . . .


Here's the contest thread

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're all completed mods.

First prize is:

Intel i3 2100
MSI H61M-E33 (onboard audio/video)
4GB DDR3 (2x 2GB)
650 Watt PSU
LG DVD-DL
500GB hard drive

And for the case, the winner will also be receiving my Storm Shadow Mod:

http://www.pcmodhouse.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/p1070372.jpg

2nd prize is:

An AMD X2 Phenom 555 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103846&Tpk=555) and a Biostar A780L3G (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813138199&cm_re=780l-_-13-138-199-_-Product) MATX. The bundle is valued at $150

I don't think this will be an issue, but if for some reason you want the second prize instead of the first let me know and I'll make the switch happen.

PM me your answer. Your entry should look like:

Picture 1 is from Project: . . . . . .
Picture 2 is from Project: . . . . . .

Then at the end give me your TBCS user name. I may not get to them all right away, but my email will tell me when they arrived. Good Luck!

[AmEv]

3pm central.....
2pm mountain.....
dang it.
Stuck in math class 'til 2:20.
ah well :(

[xr4man]

hmm, 3pm central time is 4pm eastern time. i have a meeting from 4 to 5 every tuesday and thursday. wondering if i will be missed.

[TheGreatSatan]

I may run an hour or so late....it is my day off and I don't expect I'll be sitting in front of my PC that very minute

[SXRguyinMA]

open to staff?

[AmEv]

Thank you!



Hopefully my f5 button doesn't wear out.....

[TheGreatSatan]

open to staff?

Yes. It is my contest and not one by TBCS

[SXRguyinMA]

schweet

[TheGreatSatan]

Thank you!



Hopefully my f5 button doesn't wear out.....

From what I see of your system stats it would be a nice win for you:up:

[x88x]

Nice. This should be interesting. :D

[blueonblack]

This post makes no mention of photos from completed mods from other sites, has that changed? Will all of the pics be from TBCS?

[AmEv]

Yeah, I'll just have the board and procy. Maybe a stick or two (or three or four) of RAM, I have no DDRIII.

I do have a snazzy case though.
(lol)

[PauL]

Guess I should study up

[TheGreatSatan]

Yes, it's all gonna be internal, no pics from outside of TBCS. Just because I frequent nine sites doesn't mean you should have to either.

Starts later today

[TheGreatSatan]

Read the first post. We are ready for launch!!

[Technochicken]

I'm about ready to give up. I have 10/15, and I recognize but can't find 2 out of the remaining. I have no idea about the leftovers.

[Technochicken]

I'm about ready to give up. I have 10/15, and I recognize but can't find 2 out of the remaining. I have no idea about the leftovers.

*edit* maybe I spoke too soon- 4 to go.

[diluzio91]

man. a lot of these were far before my time....

[AmEv]

Dang it!

I knew I shouldn't have given up!

Ugh..........

[blueonblack]

I give.

I did better than I thought I would, but a few of them just don't have enough defining characteristics for me to find them.

Good luck to all.

[TheGreatSatan]

At least submit what you have. If no one gets them all I will still have to declare the victor with the most right answers

[blueonblack]

Assuming no one gets them all, how long does the contest run?

[TheGreatSatan]

I guess until I have at least 5 entries with the most they can find. If I see enough people missing the same one I can give a hint

[diluzio91]

one i found just by randomly clicking work logs....

[AmEv]

Only found two.

And they were blatantly obvious.

[Munty]

Only 15 images? Where are the other 5? Guess we're not doing 20 now, submitted my finds but like the chicken of techno I'm missing a few super-vague ones :D One of them is killing me but I just can't remember where I've seen it before!!!

[TheGreatSatan]

Good.

[AmEv]

Standings?

[SXRguyinMA]

I've got all but 3, and I think one might be wrong :think:

[Technochicken]

I got stuck at 11/15.

[PauL]

I got stuck at 0/15 :( Obviously I dont look at mods enough lol...

[AmEv]

2/15.

Both were SW related.

[TheGreatSatan]

I can give one away. Is there any one that's killing everyone?

[Technochicken]

Number 14 is really bugging me, because I'm sure I've seen it recently, but I just have no clue where. Numbers 5, 7, and 11 I have absolutely no clue about.

[OvRiDe]

I am sitting at 13/15, and those last 2 are tough!

[TheGreatSatan]

Number 11 was made by a staff member back in 2005.

Numbers 14 and 15 start with the letter: T

[AmEv]

Did you get my email(s), TGS?

[SXRguyinMA]

5, 7 and 14 have my stumped. and 15 I think I got wrong, but the others I know I've got right

[AmEv]

2/15........

[Munty]

I think I've exhausted every single part of the forum and I'm still missing 3 so no comp for me lol It's really frustrating as I can't think of anywhere I haven't checked so I'd like to see the results soon please. Put me out of my misery lmao

[TheGreatSatan]

Did you get my email(s), TGS?

No, PM me instead.

[TheGreatSatan]

14 is from the worklog of Toxic Tower

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

[blueonblack]

Does this mean the contest is over then?

I'm dying here!

[SXRguyinMA]

NOOO I need 5 and 7!!! lol

[Munty]

That takes me up to 13 but that's in the Works in Progress which means that's why I'm missing some of the answers... I didn't realise the pictures could be from the builds as well, you said they were all finished and the Toxic Tower thread says it's finished but doesn't show any images anywhere of the final product :(

Going to look for the last ones, don't end it yet I should be able to get at least 14 now ;)

[SXRguyinMA]

I've scoured all over, can't find 5 or 7, and I think 15 is wrong lol. Ah well, entry submitted :D

[blueonblack]

You guys have got to be kidding, #7 was easy! :)

[Munty]

Obviously not BoB :p Remember it's only easy if you already know the case, otherwise it'll take some hunting for. I only got about half of them with aimed worklog selections, the rest I've had to search for too ;)

And it seems I'm not going to get any more than 13 so consider that my lot! Will pm you my final list just in case you didn't get mails as clearly there are some people not getting through to you ;)

[Technochicken]

Just checking, TGS, did you get my email? I sent it at 7:16 PM on the 5th.

[SXRguyinMA]

IIRC he's having you PM him as he's not gotten the emails

[blueonblack]

:p Remember it's only easy if you already know the case

I know. Only reason I knew it was that I was following that case as it was being built. :banana:

Doesn't matter I guess, since you guys have found more than I did. :(

[TheGreatSatan]

Yeah, just PM me instead. Obviously no one will get them all, so there's no worry about who's get have all the right answers

[AmEv]

The only other reason it would be easy is if you were the one behind the lens.

[OvRiDe]

14 is from the worklog of Toxic Tower


Diamon renamed this project in the first post...


http://img707.imageshack.us/img707/8945/rgblowres.png

Changed name of the project to RGB Tower! Since it will have red, green and blue lights. EDIT: The blue lights broke ^^



Grrrr.. I found 14, for some reason its 7 that I can't pinpoint. It looks so familiar, but I just can't nail it down.

[TheGreatSatan]

Munty is winning

#7 is the one I thought would stump the most people. I have 4 entries thus far.

[AmEv]

No board for me :(

[blueonblack]

My failure doesn't taste quite so bitter now that #7 is giving so many people so much trouble.

[Oneslowz28]

I got all but #7 and #14 had confused me. I wont be entering though. I will leave the awesome prizes for others to win.

[TheGreatSatan]

You are winning...

Anyone who can figure out #7 too, wins...

[blueonblack]

$#^@*^@#&*^@*&$#&*(#!~!!!!!!!

I got #7 the second I saw it! This is SO frustrating!!!

:mad:

[Munty]

Bah I can't believe I was actually winning and now I'm not lmao Maybe I'll try one last time to find the last two! no.7 what are you...

[TheGreatSatan]

Ready?

#7's name is the same name as what the case is actually called. Will that declare a winner?:whistler:

[Munty]

Well it certainly won't help me :p Curse my preference for unique scratchbuilt cases lol I know next to nothing on standard case modding, the ones I got straight away were the unusual ones that I've read through in the past.

So that's me stuck on 13 and now going to bed, if people keep struggling with 7 maybe we could have another thumb from the same project? Or a larger thumb of the same part of that image. If you could put it up about midnight US time that'd be great :D

Good luck all!

[SXRguyinMA]

haha I knew 13 right away, I followed that worklog :D

5 and 7 I neeeed yoooouuuuu!!!!!

[Munty]

I would swap you 5 for 15 but what's the point lmao Night all!

[TheGreatSatan]

I have entries from:

SXRguyinMA (needs two to win)
OvRidE (needs one to win)
Technochicken (needs three to win)
AmEv (is hopeless)
Munty (needs two to win)

[SXRguyinMA]

I give up. I've been scouring every completed worklog for over 2 hours now and can't find 5 or 7 to save my life. ah well. it was a fun contest! :D

[AmEv]

Then again, I've been here for, what, six months tops?


I'd have very little to base off of, or know where to look.

I knew one because it was recently finished, and I knew the other because of the distinct shape and it was easy to search.

Other than that, NO foundation.

[SXRguyinMA]

got them all!!!!! finally got 5 and 7, holy crap those were tough. I had looked at #5 many times, just didnt pay enough attention :facepalm: and 7 I followed, but got thrown off by the thumbnail pic

[AmEv]

So, when are you going to put your shiny new case at, SXR???

[TheGreatSatan]

Yes you did.

Folks we have a winner!! :banana:

Intel i3 2100
MSI H61M-E33 (onboard audio/video)
4GB DDR3 (2x 2GB)

Great contest .. Congrats Will!

It goes to show contests like these are anyones game. I had 14 of them by 9PM yesterday.

[SXRguyinMA]

and it took me almost 3 hours to find 5 and 7 lol

GREAT contest TGS!! That was a lot of fun! :banana:

[TheGreatSatan]

Actually I just found out yesterday that it was called RGB Tower. I gave the hint saying it started with the letter T and from what I knew it did.

[Oneslowz28]

You will have another case soon too Will. My review list is backing up....

[AmEv]

Augh, I assumed they were all in the CWL section.

[SXRguyinMA]

You will have another case soon too Will. My review list is backing up....

Will have the current one done early next week for you. :D


Augh, I assumed they were all in the CWL section.

they were :D

[Technochicken]

7 was from Lexa?! I looked through that log at least twice!
Oh well, nicely done SXR, enjoy your spoils.

[SXRguyinMA]

yea I looked through Lexa MANY times, turns out I happened to notice it by mistake, on one of the final pics. It's a pic of the bottom leg assembly. took me a few mins of back and forth from thumb to full size to make sure lol

And after doing some research, that i3-2100 is FASTER than my Q6600, with 2 less cores...and performs better everywhere except encoding, which I don't do anyways lol. Looks like I found my new system :D

I think that Q6600 may go into Rockin case to replace the C2D that's in there now, then that C2D will go with my current setup as a new computer for my parents to replace their old 1.8GHz P4 setup :D

:EDIT: here's the pic the thumb for Lexa is from :D You'll see it now lol

Air Cube isn't. It's in the WIP, AFAICT.


*Blargh, those "Project - ******" really screw with you.

Air Cube v2 is definately finished this time :facepalm:.
Final update page (http://www.thebestcasescenario.com/forum/showthread.php?p=298954&posted=1#post298954)

[Munty]

Bah that no.7 is a killer! I was looking for all the wrong signs so no wonder I missed it (I even checked Lexa after you gave the last clue with no luck!) I thought the corner of the thumb looked like a monitor as it has the silver edge then a black band with a lighter coloured centre, just like a monitor would have ;)

As for all being in the completed worklogs, were they or weren't they? First place I looked was the gallery which is MASSIVELY out of date by the way! There are multiple postings of the same builds, some dead links, numerous ones with broken images and a lot of great finished projects that aren't there at all.

To name a few which aren't there but should be there is no Sandcrawler and no Toxic OR RGB Tower. The thumb for the Battlefield LAN case kind of threw me as the image is from earlier in the build showing a black handle whereas all the finished shots of the case have it polished to silver :p

Only just noticed this too but what was the deal with the '14 and 15 both start with T?' 15 clearly starts with a 6 so that's why I missed it lmao Both that case and Toxic Tower have never been moved to the completed worklogs either from what I can tell. Not sure when the name changed to RGB tower either as the thread never changed and there are no search results for RGB tower :o

Anyway good game TGS was great to revisit all those great mods (and discover about 500 new ones lol) But onto business, who's going to fix the gallery and sort out the finished projects in the WIP section? I wonder if maybe it's worth having an 'on-hold' section in the WIP forum for topics which have been untouched for x amount of months too... Also what's the purpose of 'your mods'? Could it be merged with 'completed worklogs' and 'WIP' forums to try and keep search results together for people coming to the site?

Anyway Congrats to the winners! I guess OvRide is second place as he was out in front before SXR stormed into the lead :D If you guys do anything cool with your winnings you must be sure to share it with the class ;)

[SXRguyinMA]

well all the ones I had to look up were in the completed section. most I knew right away, and some were in Paul Capello's worklogs section as well (Doom3, F117). I did notice a ton of missing pics and a ton of completed mods not in that section as well, but all the ones I needed to find were there (except toxic/rgb tower and TGS gave that one away). I knew most of them (like sandcrawler, stealth, doom, battlestar glactica just to name a few) so I didn't have to look those up.

[SXRguyinMA]

http://www.thebestcasescenario.com/forum/showpost.php?p=299406&postcount=81


but neither of those links are in the CW section :D
this one is though lol:
http://www.thebestcasescenario.com/forum/showthread.php?p=299691#post299691

And that aircube mod is the one you see from the main forum page as the one last posted in the completed section :D

14. Toxic Tower and 15. TriplX

I hope you guys had a chance to rep some of those worklogs....

[AmEv]

Just HAVE TO RUB IT IN, huh?????????????????
