To enter, you must be a current member of our forums, have a valid e-mail address in your profile, have a valid United States postal address, and have at least 5 (five) quality posts in our forums on or before Friday, April 28, 2006. After you have made at least 5 posts, you will be automatically entered into the contest. That means, current active forum members who already have 5 posts are already entered! On Saturday, April 29, 2006, a forum member will be randomly selected from the users' database based on if they are currently active, have more than 5 forum posts, and have visited the forums within the past 30 days. The randomly generated winner will be notified by the e-mail address in their profile (make sure it's a valid and active one!), and we will request shipping info. Because of the size/weight of this prize, we can only ship to the US. YOU HAVE 48 Hours (2 days) to respond to this e-mail! If no response is received within 48 hours, a new winner will be randomly selected and notified by e-mail.

To Recap:

Forum member with a valid e-mail address in your profile.

5 legit posts--We WILL check this.

US only (because of weight and size of the case)

We reserve the right to change rules without notice, all decisions are final-- if u don't win, dont be a cry baby.

Winner has 48 hours after the e-mail is sent to claim the prize. If winner does not reply, new person is picked.

BoxGods staff and their families are not eligible!

Winner will be picked using a randomizer from all registered and active forum members who have visited the forums in the past 30 days and have a total of 5 (five) quality posts as of midnight Server (central) time Friday, April 28, 2006 and the winner will be notified via e-mail. If there is no claim within 48 hours, another winner will be chosen.

If you purchase this case at www.SilverPCS.com and then win the contest, your order will be canceled and your money refunded...unless you WANT two cases =)

Good luck to all, special thanks to the guys at www.SilverPCS.com for providing the prize, and welcome to the BoxGods Forums =)

Bah, I went through and painstakenly "made sure" all the porn bots were removed, and I put in extra measures to try to keep them from registering.

If anyone registering for the contest has a huge heartburn over the difficulty of the security image not being as readable as others, let me know.

Yeah, it was kind of difficult to tell between capital and lower-cased letters, but nothing too horrendous. The case looks pretty neat, with a ton of features. However, I'd rather have a window and that chinsy muffler thing doesn't look too aesthetically pleasing. Still, all in all, it looks like a nice case.

Well I will consider going back to the old security image.. just trying to keep all the damn porn bots from registering.

I had no problem with the security image. I assume it will pop up a new image if you get it wrong though? You'll eventualy be able to read it : )

EscapeYourMind · God Joined: 29 May 2005 Posts: 741 Location: Texas

Ya it will.. like if the one you get is too hard just refresh the page and it should give you another one.

Its a vicious battle between the porn bots and forum admins with you guys stuck in the middle lol.

Gotcha. www.theadminzone.com is a good place to read about admining boards in general, and to get good tips on blocking crap like spammers out. Out of curiousity, were they spamming actual posts, or creating members w/ homepage links to sites?

Yea...I felt really bad about limiting it to the US only...I think next time I will offer to let any winner outside the US pay the shipping so they can also enter.

It is after all the World Wide Web.

Any thoughts?

Well chances are it could be a good tihng or a bad thing depending on how nice the border is and how much duty they would charge. Since it is a case and is heavy it probably would cost alot. No biggie though if it is only open to the US. Wink

Yeah it sucks that we can only offer this for US residents. We really wanted everyone to be able to win it, but with a huge case like this, shipping costs an arm and a kidney.

I could always get it sent to my sisiter who lives in the US Razz

this is awesome case, great prize. Thank you so much Box gods.

Geno · EIC Joined: 01 Jun 2005 Posts: 4211 Location: Texas

In it's original shipping box from Lian-Li it weighs 35 pounds. It needs a bit more padding in the middle section of the box IMHO so I am going to add some peanuts to that also.

thanks for the great oppurtunity, it's truly a beautiful yet expensive case

We will be doing more of these every so often as well, and I intend to give away a fully equipped custom one off creation (think about 10K worth) within the next few months, so you guys keep posting =)

Since I don't show up as Staff anymore, am I eligible? =)

Edit: I really need to post more...but with all our funds tied up, I feel like I have virtually nothing to contribute in the way of, well, anything (apart from the spam-like "t0ta11y a\/\/3sum, d00d!" garbage). =(

I am sad. Not really, but sorta. My mouth is full of novocaine:

=) heh heh

As an FYI, I hate computers. I mean I love them, of course...

But not when AIM poops its pants and I have to wallow in its filth. And when...other stuff...happens (or doesn't happen, as the case stands now). And my jaw hurts, but this thread is about winning a case -- for someone who isn't me! =) -- not about my whining...

Oooh... lovely contest. I love contests like these. Smile

I've loved Lian Li cases in the past but I've never owned one. Only now am I considering dropping about $200+ on one. I want the XL Warrior over @ Xoxide but it never seems in stock! So I was looking around the net for more Lian Li cases and then this particular Lian Li case stole my heart away...
