yeah the front page would be a god reminder!
Only two (2) (Deux) (Zwei) days left!
Good luck to everybody who's entered...
*Can't wait to see everybody's entries, but is gonna have to...* :p
Well, you have to wait a bit longer... Due to my inability to pay for shipping at this time I'm going to extend the deadline by two weeks while I mug little old ladies for cash.
I will move the deadline to Jan 12th 2008 12:59PM GMT giving you a little over 2 weeks to fine tune your entries and time for me to raise funds. Keep in mind that multiple entries are allowed, so if you have already submitted an entry and would like to expand on the idea you can submit another version and we will look at them both while judging.
Some tips for success:
-Look at the scoring system and see if you overlooked any criteria
-Be creative, remember that the design only needs to be feasible and not necessarily easy to build or have to survive the test of time (i.e. making a waterfall usually isn't a great idea for watercooling because of contaminants, but in this case we won't care about long term effects nearly as much as a bitchin' flow system)
-A big part of the score is creative implementation of the watercooling system. There are lots of ways you could use that water in your theme.
-keep in mind that cost of materials is not a concern in this design, so if you want to build a warthog out of platinum knock yourself out.
-even though not everyone can use sketchup or Cinema 4D, quality of presentation can really help your score so if you aren't a graphics wizard break out the colored pencils and nail it.
-cash bribes
PM me with any questions.

noooooooo:(... sat up nights to get this thing finished to deadline! =_= plz post info like that sooner :/
guess ill just go for the multiple entry thing... prepare to be carpet bombed with entriys!:D
Lol, no worries, bombs away!Quote:
prepare to be carpet bombed with entriys!
I apologize for not alerting you sooner but I wasn't aware that it would be necessary until the other day and I didn't want to make the decision without hearing the opinions of the other staff members. So I posted the question for staff to chime in on (whether to extend the deadline, or just make the winner wait for the goodies longer), the consensus was to move the deadline.
gaaaaaah!
The wait is gonna kiiiillll meeeee!
:p
yeah... the waiting time is the thing that anoys me second most :/
Woot, this saves me an all nighter that i was going to have to pull.. (which ill probably put off till the last day again)
Honestly I don't see how I can do anything particularly fancy with the watercooling system on my case design. Will I ultra-fail the contest if I don't do something creative there?
Don't get me wrong though, I put everything in well-thought-out positions.
Thanks,
Indybird
No. Jon was just giving an example. With the of creativity we have here, it's going to be difficult judging.Quote:

MERRY CHRISTMAS ALL!!
Just a reminder. There are 6 days left. I can't wait to see what you guys have come up with!
just a quick question, all entries must be submitted till 12th. so when can we expect the winners?
no promises, shouldn't take more than a week but I'll get you the results as soon as the judges have made a decision.
:banana:
GREAT
Just a quick question, as my plans are winding down. I've been working on this for a while now, and I am wondering about the water cooling. In the criteria, it states a creative implementation of water cooling kit. Is this the kit being offered as a prize? If so, are we required to incorporate it, or can we go in a completely different direction, just having a creative implementation of water cooling, without using any kit? At this point, I have mine pretty much set up, so I am hoping I don't have to use any required parts.
That is an excellent question. I do believe we intended for you to use the prize kit, but I don't know if we stated this in the judging criteria. Go ahead and use what is in your plans, I don't think it matters.
EDIT- No we did not specify, so using any form of watercooling will not affect you score in a negative way. All types are fair game.
fantastic:D i didnt do that either xD
what if the case dosnt have a halo theme or watercooling or tbcs tribute?... am i able to win on the presentation alone:p
No....that would be missing some major points! Unless everyone scored less than you, presentation is only one of the categories. I would recommend covering all of the categories as thoroughly as possible to maximize your score.
like i did :p
J/K
*excited* :banana:
im going for at least a 107 point score:P...
ah.. yeah right :p lets see who will win :p
at least im hoping to see some awsome entrys:D CANT WAIT:(

It's the final countdown!
Dud du dud ur der... or summat like that
Just wanted to wish everyone GOOD LUCK!
I can't wait to see some of the entries.
I was hoping to post this as I posted my entry, but alas, even with the extension I'm not gonna make it in time :no:. Why? because I SUCK :unhappy: I just can't get my ideas from my head onto paper/pixel. I'm gonna finish it anyway and post in the ideas section, just to get some feedback. I think there's some nice ideas...
But for now, :banana:"MAY THE BEST MOD WIN" :banana:
I just watched that tick over to 59:59!
So can't wait to see these entries, post em in if you haven't done already guys!
Edit omg omg omg 3mins left :o cant wait
Edit 2: Holy crap its now counting upwards?!!!?!?!./212!1
Okay, the design submission time is closed. Thank you very much to all of the contestants and judging of your projects will begin soon. Once a winner is selected I steal your prizes and flee to Mexico. Thanks again!
Jon
will we get to see the Mods?
Oh god, you got me all excited. I saw "Update to thread subscription: Modders Challenge #4 in my inbox" and clicked the link faster than you could say "Modders Challenge".Quote:

I think all the designs will be posted once the winner has been chosen and announced. That's how it was done in the past.Quote:
