Enter to Win in Our Asus X79 System Design Challenge

[dalethepcman]

Muhahaha I have the only build with a 6970 video card, to bad I had to sacrifice basically everything else to get it.

When you say "Build the coolest system to win." do you mean the coolest visually looking system, or the coolest running system temperature wise. My impression is the former.

My impression is the latter, so yes, I'd like to have a definitive answer as well.

Sorry Tom's, I have to be frank. This contest sucks.

A $1,500 budget for a Sandy Bridge-E leaving only $600 for other components is crazy. The performance gain is less than 20% the normal Sandy Bridge. Anyone know when the hard drives are going to be cheaper?

Sorry Tom's, I have to be frank. This contest sucks.

Gotta agree with you a little. $600 for case, GPU, PSU, RAM, HDD/SSD, optical, and cooling is extremely limited and will likely lead to most entries being 90% the same.

On the UK site they just post the US only competitions anyway. An no, they don't do any UK competitions. Pretty pointless really, not to mention characteristically unprofessional.

I had fun with it, and came-up with systems that were indeed Cool in the process regardless how you look at it.

 

[K2N hater]

Wonder if Marcus' ex lives in RI...

 

[alyoshka]

Ok, this just means you need to spend some dough to get some free stuff?

 

[elbert]

This was a fun build project and good luck to all the entry's.

Grats Jaq. You deserve it, bro... always so helpful in the forums!

 

[greenrider02]

The ultimate system? So you go on newegg and pick the most expensive things you can get... is that it? lol

 

[shin0bi272]

lol good to know you got almost half way down the first page before picking a winner.

Supporting the cause!

 

[flips]

Is it just me or does his build come out to actually be $1589.69...

 

[JonnyDough]

I cruise Tom's almost daily, and this is the first time hearing about this contest...let alone the first two. Why is that?

 

[acerace]

I think Best of Media should make Tom's Hardware available by region (North America, South America, Europe, Asia etc.) That's much easier I think.

 

[christop]

The ULTIMATE System can't be had with 1500 bucks. I would say around 2000 or 2500 would be way better. The cpu, cooler,ram, and mb eats the whole budget. Who is going to use a crappy tower with psu and a low end gpu with a premium setup.. Make no sense to me.

Dont get cheated friends, toms hardware wont give or declare any winners for example take the example of the recent contest of explaing Samsung SSD to mother contest, toms hardware said they would declare winners at dec 16th then what happened ? Nothing. So we users should not get cheated by these FAKE Toms hardware contests.
