    We're going to include rules for entrants outside of the US. If they enter, they are going to have to be willing to pay for at least some of the shipping, if not most of it, depending on where they are.

    I had enough of a headache trying to send the last one out (the Leatherman Wave). I'm still worried that it will show up in my mailbox one of these days. Some of you guys have really strange address formatting. :p

    Cool thanks for that Ranken. Don't worry Australia's address system is almost exactly the same as America's except we have shorter postal codes.

    How about a "train" computer?

    Get a model train... have a small UPS on it... so there's power. (hmm... or maybe some sliding-110vAC-contacts through the tracks).

    In one train, have mobo (guess, a small one will have to do)...
    Another one, have the PSU
    Another one with the water cooling.
    Another with the HDD.
    etc.

    I dunno. Or lets scratch that.

    HOW ABOUT if we build this HUGE computer building, resembling the original ENIAC.

    Then we run... modern day stuff off it.

    Argh... I have to go.... I'll give this some more thought!!!

    Idea's.... hmmm....

    Best His and Hers computer designs

    Best blend of technology and nature

    Best ?classic? movie theme (godzilla, king kong, etc)

    Most indestructible, indistinguishable, indisputable.... lol or maybe just the first one.

    Most convenient Lan Rig. (ie soda machine, blah blah blah, etc.)

    The perfect blend of Yin and Yang. (Google it)

    or maybe a giant teletubby with laser vision and rocket launchers with a programmed lust for human blood!!!

    Ding ding! We have a winner!

    People are stupid; given proper motivation, almost anyone will believe almost anything. Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true. People’s heads are full of knowledge, facts, and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it all true. People are stupid; they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so are all the easier to fool.

    Anyone can enter the competition. To see how it works, have a look at our past competitions! We'll be starting up another one soon, because the prize is cluttering up Rankenphile's house, last i heard it was driving his wife ape-****.

    How about this......

    I'm sure all your regulars have an old CD drive laying around in their spares box. How about the best CD Drive mod. It could still be used as a CD drive or it could be used as something entirely different. But I would stipulate that you still have to be able to slide it into a 3.5 inch bay......What do you think?

    Keep these ideas coming. The final ideas really depend on the prize, we like to tie them in, as it makes it easier for our sponsors.

    I Like this idea. Only it might not fit in the standard 3.5" bay...

    I have several I could donate or mod myself.
