Hi Fallen,
I can't tell you right now. But I know that many guys get sponsoring from big firms like ATI and by small resellers. So there must by a way. But I am quite sure that there is no formal way. Just get in contact with the firms you think you can offer them some promotion. They wont help you if you cant offer them a reward.
Perhaps you better ask the people here that already got sponsored.
the problem here is that we dont have alot of lans here in alaska. our states total population is less than 675,000. i know of only one lan that actually has any advertisement.

I found some more pics on my mobile. They show my progress on the hardware-mounting. The parts are quite the opposite to my CUBE 2 project. While stuff had to look smoth in my CUBE 2, the interiour of the lower hemisphere is absolutely pragmatic as there wont be any window.
This is the counter-part of the harddrive fix. But I think I will change this for a better vibration absorbability.
I am quite sure, that the wood would transport the HDD vibration if I keep it the way, that the disk will be plugged onto the black sticks:
Here are two pics of the DVD-Mounting. You can see the gap between wood and DVD. This is for the cables coming from the MoBo.
Here you can see one of four metal bars that will connect the baseplate with the stand.
I really had problems to find the position in the lower hemisphere where I had to drill the holes for the bars. Because the spheres position is only exact when it lays completely on the baseplate. But then you can't mark the position from the inside of course... I solved this problem by adding a light source inside the sphere and projecting the shadow of a shorter bar on the sphere. I could see the shadow from outside and mark the position for the hole.
These are previews of the parts put together. Looks lousy without painting and hardware inside... But I am quite happy with it and I do believe now that I can finish that thing
Today I hope to finish the bondo works on the baseplate, so I can start painting tomorrow.
YEAH!! First piece is painted and looks amazing
For direct comparison:

Sanded and painted:
What do you say? Does this look like pressboard any more? The suface got so f***ing smooth after 3 hours of sanding I think this was worth the work...
Here is a pic of my DVD (LG) and the Powersupply (BeQuiet 500W) :
And the metal-bars that will connect the baseplate with the stand.
I bought some new pressboard to build the stand from. I plan to make two different stands: One for LAN-Parties and CaseCon-Competitions (a big one like in the renderings on the first page) and a smaller one for my desk.
Thats it for now. See you,

Dude, That looks friggin kick ass! I love it. Good job on the bondo, sanding and painting. It almost looks like a molded plastic piece. -Very nice indeed!
