100mhz pentium, 16mb ram, 1.18gb hard drive, windows 95. Just epic.
 
Well, I originally wasn't going to participate because I thought it was stupid, but I feel the need to compete against Vista :D

Damn you'd win Travis. Your case is so much better than mine (I want that Lian-Li!) and you can actually put your ATX power cable behind the motherboard tray. >.<

I'll snap some pics and enter them by the due date :D

You thought it was stupid?!?!?!?!?? :confused::eek: You are mean! :P Its just a contest, I dont know why you would think its stupid, but anyway, you should submit your rig.
 
So this seems like its turning into a photography contest.
Why not make it more well rounded?
-Either split the contest up into categories (best picture, best hardware, best background, best games, etc).
-Or make the overall contest more fair by requiring judgement to be based on a list of factors (parts chosen, cleanliness of case, use of lighting, etc).


I agree it would be better to split it up into catagories.
Best presentation instead of best picture so it doesn't end up as much like a photo quality contest. vistakid came up with what my vote would consider a presentation and not due to pic quality. And I think this is what kobaj means by best picture.
I also agree with best hardware based on parts chosen and what the pc is used for. Like said, based on factors.
A few other catagories besides best presentation, best hardware, lighting, cleanest, might be:
Cable management.
Color scheme.
Case mods.
Etc.

Wouldn't have to have all catagories each month. Then have 1 winner for each catagory. Then vote for one of those winners to get the overall winner. But I don't think/know if, the forums voting structure would do it without a thread for each catagory.
I don't know. Just tryting to help come up with something because as it is I think these turny's will be short lived. I think there will be a few best or most liked and they will get the votes.
 
How do you know? You were not on Earth when this computer ruled the world. :P

If it was made after 1997 then I was... I was just... small. :D

On a serious note, I actually used to own an older system which I threw out 2 years ago. Had a Pentium II, 4GB HDD, 128MB RAM, W98 SE. Can't remember the rest of the specs - had some sort of ATI Rage graphics card IIRC. So I have owned older systems. :P

No catagories. Case closed. Submit your rig! Please :)

1994 or 5 I believe.. ran windows ME at first. Epic tho. And I can run it for awhile without a cooler. Try that with yalls i7 rigs.

So if that PC was made in '95 (that's my best guess), then it is at least 2 years older than me. :D

If I ran my overclocked 2500K without a cooler it'd just shut itself down before it got damaged, or if I ran an older chip without a cooler (say an Athlon XP or an early Pentium 4), the chip would probably just start melting.

I mean start up and use it without one, not shut off after 2 seconds And I also have a athlon xp system 1150mhz overclocked to 2.4ghz.

Yeah I knew what you meant, I was just saying that the 2500K would shut itself off. It's clever like that. :P

I have an Athlon 64 3700+ rig still. I use it every now and then, and I also have a Q8300 rig too (Core 2 Quad) but I don't use that very often as the HDD is dying.

I honestly think this contest is going to fail if you don't change it. Some of use (like myself) don't have thousands of dollars to pump into machines or the kind of cameras to take good pictures. Even if it's not based on those specs people are going to still go for the ones that are more powerful and look nicer via photos or nicer cases. It's not going to work unless you make categories. Or at least a category every month like some one else suggested. Such as best retro rig. Categories I believe are a must for this contest to continue.

My two cents.
