Lol that was fun :D but again, this is an Intel CPU that costs a good $1000 ex VAT without markup. If you do the math thats more like £800+ So its worth a little more than the OP really lets on ;)

The units identity wont be disclosed until the competition ends but I am envious of whom ever is lucky enough to win!

So get entering :D

He wasn't talking about purchases, he picked up on:

Which directly contradicts:

One means you have to sign up for a Facebook and Twitter account to enter (which is what people were complaining about), and the other means you don't have to sign up for a Facebook and Twitter account, or you can't enter, and it can't be both. If email entries were fine, sans Facebook and Twitter accounts, no one would have complained, as there's no issue.

I'm looking at it, but it doesn't explain:

Gibbo says that, then you say:

Who is right? They both can't be right. Which means it still needs to be addressed. If you have to sign up for facebook and twitter, then the "small print" is wrong and needs to be updated to reflect that, if what you're saying is right, then why does gibbo think otherwise?
 
ok, think I have done it.

Yeah that's what I was trying to ask as well.
 
It needs to be a outside picture.....so surely that entry is invalid? ^^

EDIT : I see, they can be merged in photoshop etc. :)

I will enter but I suck at Photoshop, will try and do a outside one.

Our aim was for people to come up with a unique location/funny situation and actually take a funky photo for the world to see....
 
You people that complain are pathetic, how long would it take you to earn $1000? And how long would it take to sign up to two sites?

Get over yourselves, you get free delivary and staff that use the forum!

And if you put up a $1000 prize you would expect respect for doing so, not a bunch of complaints related to the "principle".
 
I'm gonna have to dig out the old printer and fire it up. This is too good to pass up. Now, what can I do?!!!!!

EDIT: I think I have something amazing... I just need to find a volunteer :D

Its not really the most of tasking comps, I have done more for a lot less.

dont have a twitter but its takes like 2 mins, chance on £1000 processor why not. I buy all my stuff from overclockers and this is normally plastered all over my wall. I pretty certian most of the trolls on this thread are the same

STATUS UPDATE " GTX 580 IN MYPC, IT NOW PWNS" <--- as if you dont!!!!!
 
Looks like my idea is going to have to be a slightly cut down version of what i wanted to do due to security reasons :( Should still be good though :)
 
Unfortunately I don't have a decent camera to take pictures with, so I'll have to photoshop something.

Come fly with Gibbo, lets fly lets fly away.
