Alright, I have all my photos taken. Working on the review now. Should have it done soon.
Nevermind. Cancel this request
Sorry guys. I apologize for the delay. I hope to get this review done by the end of June. All photos are taken, just have been very busy and haven't had the time to do the writing portion.
Sorry for the double post. I've been very busy and unable to do the review. But now I am committed to getting it done by the end of July. SO I'd like to reserve a spot in July. Thanks.
This program is still up and running, anyone who read the above post that I deleted should know the problem was entirely on my end.
Looks like I will be taking one of the August slots for the Thermaltake ProWater 850i. Should be up tomorrow.
I just got an e-mail response from Jason Moore at Xoxide on the latest review I did, and they are officially discontinuing this program, effective immediately.
FYI to all.
well that sucks. I shoulda got in on this when I could have
Man this sucks. This was a nice perk for our members. Sorry to see this program leave. We do thank Xoxide for their years of support for this program. I am sure a member or two here built most of their computer this way.
I thought I'd mention this because I just noticed it myself (though many of you may have already seen it) but Xoxide.com was bought out by another company and are still very much open. I don't know if they are still doing the review offers (especially given the new FTC guidelines) but it's worth asking. Anyone else notice this?
BTW- If you make a purchase using the nifty links on our right side-bar a small portion goes to our server costs. ;)
All right, TBCS members - I've been in contact with Xoxide and this program is back on! :banana:
Be sure to check out the link on the first post in this thread for specific requirements.
(For those who are more into instant gratification, HERE).
Thanks, Xoxide!!!!!!
Thanks so much for getting this back together for the TBCS members BoB!
This is awesome BoB, we all owe you one.
Schweeeet!
So are we taking spots again? Dibs on January. It's the same requirements correct?
Same requirements, and only two reviews per site per month I believe so yes we should clarify what we are doing by taking the slots so no one gets stuck with a review that doesn't qualify by being the third or fourth review from us in a month.
I've taken the first slot for January to test the waters and make sure there are no problems.
I'm grabbing number 2
I'm getting in on this for the Ultra ChillTEC cooler, just not sure when. hopefully soon
ok so blue and trace hav Jan covered, I'm taking the first feb slot :D
Review should be up later today, or by next Sunday. Nice big window, I know. If I don't finish it today, then i will have to wait till next weekend to post it.
nevermind, things changed, not taking any slots right now :D
I'd like to claim a February slot, as I'm currently placing an order for the HSPC Top Deck Tech Station (14x9.5).
Edit: This may be pending as I need to contact Xoxide regarding availability. I'll keep you all updated.
Edit
Xoxide is requiring that we publish your written review on the front page. Due to this we ask that you finish your review a minimum a week before its deadline so we can run it through our proof reading system and make the necessary changes to fit our front page format. When you have your review finished post it in the reviews section and then send Oneslowz28 a pm letting him know its ready for the front page.
Thanks,
Management
Sorry CJ, didn't know they were going to require that.
its ok. no worries. We will be editing it asap and publishing it before weeks end
Claiming a February spot as I just bought an OCZ 1000W PSU which I'll be reviewing as soon as it arrives. The Tech Station was out of stock and I needed a new PSU and this one was on sale.
I didn't the mouse review done in January, apologies to any who waited. I'll have to claim the remaining February slot due to the 60-day limit on review publication.
ive been reading about this a bit and it sounds like a cool idea, how does one go about reserving a slot, and the rebate is for the value of the item reviewed?
You get purchase price + shipping up to a max of $100.
If you want a slot, just say so. Make sure that there is still one available for the month you are requesting.
I want to claim the first March slot. I want to do it on the NZXT Sentry 2 fan controller, but I think someone already did one on it. I did a search but cant seem to find it. If someone already did it then I wont be taking a March spot. If not then I will be. I'll keep searching for it in the meantime, but for now I'm taking March slot #1
I reviewed the sentry 2 as an official TBCS review. It was between NZXT and TBCS nothing to do with Xoxide so I see no reason why you could not do it.
You could always shoot xoxide an email to make sure before purchasing
I would like to reserve the first slot in april, i will be reviewing the new tuniq 120 extreme edition on xoxide. http://www.xoxide.com/tuniq-t120-ext...cpucooler.html i checked, its different from the one that was reviewed earlier. The nickel plating is gorgeous.
Due to events out of our control this event is temporarily on hold. March and April Slots are now cleared. Sorry for the inconvenience this may have caused. We are working to get this back up and running ASAP so please bear with us.
In light of recent developments, and in order to better serve our members, TBCS has opted to terminate our participation in this program for the time being. This decision was not made lightly, as this has been a great benefit to our members in the past, but since its reinstatement the rebates offered in the program have failed to materialize. As such, we feel it in the best interests of everyone that we simply withdraw our participation.
We apologize for any inconvenience,
-The TBCS Staff-
