And after checking my email just now, I see that you did in fact mean mine. I hope Nathan didn’t get his hopes up too high…

Hey! Mine was the one with the ghetto ass fan blowing in! I’m sure it was an oversight, right? You MEANT Jeff… right? Eh, eh? *nudge nudge*

Jonathan, yours is WAY too damn pretty (and neat) to win any sort of “worst desktop setup” contest. :)

Er, better luck next time. And congrats to Nathan.

Congrats Nathan! I had my acceptance speech planned out and everything but oh well, my messy closet is bound to win me something eventually!

Nathan is the winner. The ghetto fan blowing into the case of a computer that overheats takes it. Oma won overall, but I ain’t shipping a region-locked dvd to Germany :-P

Chad your wiring was too pretty to win an ugly contest. The closet piece though gave you strong marks.

Sorry I forgot that you guys from FG live in the US…….
As I’m from Germany I think I’m sort of disqualified…..

Hopefully I can be at least considered as the morally winner :-)

Mine.

I do have a really old desktop here, which i use from time to time (would beat OmaBuck). But since it isn’t my main desktop i guess it’s against the rules. I’m also not in the US so…

That is a great DVD btw.

Not to attempt to sway the outcome but remember… I’m in ATX too, I’ll save ya some shipping!

Yeah OmaBuck is pretty strong. Let’s say the contest ends at 11:59pm tonight (3/1).

Hey, don’t knock the white couch. I have a lot of bright decor in my apartment so I had to go with a neutral couch. Also, the killer red pillows can be yours at your nearest Pier 1.

As of right now, I would say that OmaBuck has everyone beat.

This might be the first time I could win something with my `98 400 PII setup :-|

Notice that i even don’t have enough money to buy me a digital camera….

I'd work you all right now, but that would entail going out to my truck and snagging my digital camera. I may do it just for a laugh... Just for a taste, here was my computer 5 or so years ago.

My White Trash Computer setup. Hell yeah it’s ghetto.

That’s my desk fan blowing into my case keeping it at a cool 61 degrees celsius — one degree cooler than overheating/crashing. The thing beeps non-stop in warning mode that it’s about to die — I just turn up the music and act like it’s not there.

Going to be tough to beat Chad’s entry. That last pic might seal the deal.

By: Chad

Chad — Tue, 01 Mar 2005 06:55:20 +0000

Note the white kb, mouse, and case w\ black speakers and monitor motif I have going on in the first pic. That’s no where near as cool as red pillows on white couch.

Specimen 1: Here's what my rig looks like above ground. Note the complex implementation of CD\DVD organization tactics. Specimen 2: Below deck you see my impeccable wiring job (and assorted kid's toys). Specimen 3: And now for my finale. My Piece de Resistance if you will. The closet

Red pillows.. hell, just about anything red on a white couch (with the exception of blood) is sexy.

By: Scrivs

Hey she decided to zoom out and take a pic of the whole WHITE couch with bright RED pillows on it. What else do you want me to notice? The LITTLE laptop sitting in the middle of all that WHITENESS?

Red pillows rock. Nuff said.

Ah man you gotta love those sweet love pillows Nicole has. Damn I need some of those.

By: Nicole

Nicole — Tue, 01 Mar 2005 05:19:31 +0000

I don't need/want the Scarface DVD plus I'm a FG editor so I'm out of the running anyway. But...just for the hell of it, my desktop. I use the term "desktop" loosely.

Well I seem to have a videogame, anime, and dvd fetish so balancing all of those can be difficult at times. I had a great collection of stuff a couple of years ago, but had to sell it off to pay the bills. Won’t do that again.
