    Default Satan Claus is Coming to Town 2012! - $1000 Prize!

    Like it says, Satan Claus is coming to town!



    I want your sob story

    I want to know why you think you deserve the top prize. What has life been like for you this year? I know you have a computer, but has it suffered? Are you using a dinosaur with a CRT and rockin’ Windows XP?

    I want to know!

    I will pick the contenders. It could be five or it could be ten. Then those chosen will have their sob stories posted in an entirely new thread, where you will vote for the winner!

    The only prize is the biggest one I have ever given away!

    The winner, chosen by the community will receive an entire PC build worth just over $1000!!

    What is the prize?

    well crap! this year has been pretty good to me. i don't have any tales of woe and failure to give. my computer is pretty much maxed out without shelling out hundreds for very minimal gains.

    so, good luck to everyone.

    I'm out as well. My rig is not as maxed out as I would like it to be, and I would love a nice HTPC, but I really only need a hard drive and PSU to make that happen. My wife and I had a baby two months ago, and he is totally healthy and meeting all his developmental milestones early. So, yeah, I'm going to remove myself from this competition as well.

    I'll also post pics if required.

    Well I guess I'll throw my story out.

    We let my brother in-law move in with us after he got out of prison so he could get back on his feet. He was a non-violent offender and it was not computer/internet related offenses (if it were either family or not he would have moved in).

    The week after his probation expired we get woke up at 6am to police and the FBI beating on our door. He has been accused of uploading child porn and is currently awaiting trial. They gave a very specific time and date of when this upload occurred, he was at work at the time.

    When the officers were here they pointed out that they picked our wireless signal half way down the block. Believe me we've since learned a bit more about securing our internet. Since he lived with us and conceivably had access to our computers they seized both my computer, my wifes computer, our my book (which had all of our pictures for about five years and two vacations on it) plus all of our backed up drives. This was in March. We still can't get an answer about when or even if we'll get our stuff back.

    Now we're not at the poverty level but we don't have a lot of money to go and replace what can be replaced. So right now we share a POS that we could afford off craigslist. We're rockin a P4 1.33 mhz with 512 MB and onboard video. It surfs the web good enough to do facebook and forums and thats about it.

    On top of being more than a little embarrassing I guess it points out the old saying "no good deed goes unpunished'.

    This year has been very good to me with a solid, stable, salaried software development job that was earned through the hard work on my notecard app, other apps, and my game. In light of that, I also graciously bow out.

    This community, and others, owe a lot to you. Sometimes more than I think is ever said, Ken. Thanks once again for being such a strong cornerstone to TBCS. This place wouldn't be the same without you.

    Looks like it. But now it will be a little less crappy, if you win that is.

    Other than my 6850 being completely dead (that, I'm not sure of. It still goes into OS, but never displays anything), and having a now-low-end 550Ti, I'm happy.
    Two years. They were great. Let's make the next ones even better!

    Tri.fecta
