Bah! Just because you might not be eligible for the competition is no reason not to fold!

[DynamoNED]

Shameless competition bump! Woot-woot! Get to folding!

[AmEv]

Don't worry; I've pumped out enough heat to cook a dozen eggs!

Yeah, but how much bacon?

Also, everyone should be folding! It's the law.

It's officially half-time in this contest - effective midnight last night, we have completed 2 weeks of the 4 week qualification period for entries into the draw.

In total, we have 66 qualfied entries in the competition - broken down into 1 for entering, 1 for completing 5 wu's per week in week 1, and again in week 2, and 2 for getting over 100,000 points during the month

At the moment, things stand like this....

The following members have qualified for everything possible - they completed a WU for entry, have completed more than 5 WU's per week in both of the first two weeks, and have already completed over 100,000 points during the competition, and as such, all qualify for the maximum entries so far, totalling 5....

x88x, diluzio91, pcclan, mdust, DynamoNED, 985323 and Bsmith10102

The following members have qualified for entry by completing a unit, have completed more than 5 WU's in both qualifying weeks, but have yet to hit that 100,000 target (which isn't to say they won't before the end of the month) so are currently sitting on 3 entries each...

NighttrainSRT, Technochicken, Billygoat, Fuganator, ChaosTheory and msmrx57

In addition to these confirmed entries, the following have qualified for the competition and completed 5 or more work units in ONE of the two weeks so far for a total of 2 entries each...

evgapes and fpmachine

And last, but definitely not least as EVERY POINT COUNTS!!! - the following have qualfied for entry into the draw and will recieve 1 entry each

Nutz1228, jpmeyer, amev and collinstheclown

Congratulations everyone and remember, it isn't too late to enter - the only thing you CAN'T do at this point is earn those bonus entries for the week 1 and week 2 5 WU totals - someone entering at this stage of the competition can still qualify for up to 5 of the 7 possible entries....

Fold on my brothers (and sisters, of course!!!)

Oh by the way - did I mentioned that Thermaltake have added a Shock Headset to the prize bundle? Thats right - the lucky winner will get both a mouse AND a high quality gaming headset as a prize so what are you waiting for - get those clients downloaded, installed, and running!!!

[x88x]

lol...that would be ironic if I won another Tt Shock headset and still hadn't received the one I won months ago.

[Fuganater]

I could go for a new headset...

Hey Cale,

Since this competition is performance based and not up to some sort of a vote. I consider you eligible. I don't think there is anyway someone can call foul since we aren't keeping track of the stats, I don't see an unfair advantage.

If anyone else wants to contest this please PM me, but I don't see a problem.

well, this is unfortunate. the last couple days, i've been using my laptop, disassembled my desktop to swap a motherboard, and do routine maintenance. the really sad part is, i have 2 5870's and 2 6870's. my core i7 board i just purchased has 2 pci-e x16 slots. i have been busy, and just got it back together, and now im having reboot issues with the brand new freaking msi board. im going to run a few tests, its funny though, because the evga gave me crud, i put in an asus gene ii no problems, reinstalled it onto the ssd again for the msi board, and am having issues. good news is tomorrow is my day off, so i can trouble shoot it. im also in the process of moving my electronics from my "man-cave" aka the garage into my room, as it is gonna get really hot here soon. hopefully i can get the i7 up with big adv., and i have a quad core athlon on loan to a friend, i just bought a foxcon mobo with dual x16 slots. ill try to get up and running tomorrow, but no guarantees.
