I lost the $2500 becuase a damned screw came out - I was in a big hurry, so I didn't make sure the mboard was square on the tray, so all the screws were slightly crooked - after I finished, the bottom right one popped right out. Hard to live with losing that much money, when I had PLENTY of time to go back and rescrew everything down - the other guy (Greg) had barely started, becuase he dropped a screw into the case and it got stuck, so he had to take the whole thing apart. I'M STILL KICKING MYSELF - CAN'T GO TO SLEEP - I LOST $2500!!!!
Well.... A bag, a hat, a shirt, a bunch of mints, an Athlon XP2200+, an Athlon XP2400+, and $500 (for second prize) wasn't a TOTAL loss. Still, I'll be kicking myself for a long time. But Greg seemed like a good guy - he deserved to win - he said he'd use it on college money, which is more noble than what I would have used it for.
(Incidentally, the judge guy, named Joe, said he would have let 1 screw slide, no problem, but the Aussie guy had the mic, so he disqualified me - DAMNIT!)
And FYI - Courtney, the cute girl, is local - as the AMD Realitycheck moves around the country, they use a international talent agency to get girls in the city they happen to be in - she didn't know squat about computers, though.
You should have won IMHO.... that other guys was SLOOOOOW.
I could've dremmel out the darn case for all the time he took.... but hey.... I guess it was just him and the clock by then.
I missed out on the whole freakin' deal.... no shirt.... no hat....no nuthin'
But I still liked the whole event.... Congrats to you and what you did win.... too cool.

Thanks AMD, just got my 2200 that I won at the Detroit show, Good deal, went with a couple of buddies and two of the three of us came home CPU winners. Time to build another puter. Move over Intel.
hey guys I was there at the event and took a lot of pictures and even recorded some movies. oh man, the girls were cute! especially the brunette. well I was the guy from Portland and they ended up giving me two shirts. I got one from the brunette and then one from the aussie. i wasn't really paying attention but my sister said while they were mentioning portland, you guys boo'd! how nice lol. i got a hat too so it was fun for me. while I'm currently staying at my sister's apartment I can't upload the pictures or movies yet but if anybody has a broadband connection and is willing to host the media, let me know. once I get back in portland on friday I'll upload all 128mb of it. btw, I was on the far left corner at the front of the stage nearly jumping up and down all the time sometimes shouting AMD ME! oh and I was soooo close to winning the processors twice. my number was off by 1 the first time and then it was off by two. oh well, i'm quite satisfied with my 1800+ processor from last year. and those questions they asked... easy for me

Doh! Forgot about the 10 jeapordy peeps. I was up front cheering/hecklin Wing Wong like hell!!!!
I was right near a few people yelling out WING WONG, WING WONG, WING WONG!
were you the main guy saying it??? if so I was like right behind you
Did anyone happen to catch what URL courteney had written on her name badge?? I was hoping it was a personal pic/cam site, but I could never make out what it said
tjames214, I might be able to get some of it hosted....well any pictures I can definately, video I'm not sure about
PM me, or message me on aim (zeruty) if you're interested
If anyone has any pics of those cute amd girls at the Seattle event PLEASE put up a linky or pm me w/ em. hehe. (no I won't do anything perverted with them). I unfortunately did not make it to the chaos because I overslept and last year's was horrible since I didn't win =P so I said screw it in my sleep.

just acknowledging your PM tjames, inbox is full
lol I'm sorry about that. I'm not sure how to clear the messages but I'll look around. I wouldn't mind any advise though although I'll prolly figure it out by then too
and yea the 60mb video I have of the battle of the boxes sure has some of the cute girls in them too. but we'll need someone to host those. ttyl I'm off to celebrate thanksgiving. happy thanksgiving to all! While the system building contest in seattle you guys probably did not see what happen right when the cases were almost done. Some guy had grab one of the AMD banners and had jetted out the door to the left of the stage and bolted toward QFC going around Key Arena. The big dude that looked like Jesse james jumped in the AMD SUV and did a J-turn and accelerated to cut the guy off. After 5 minutes the dude that looked like Jesse James returned with the banner. It was the most interesting event that happened that night almost looked like an episode of Cops when he jumped in the AMD SUV to catch the thief.
p.s. IF YOU ARE THE BANNER THIEF TELL US YOUR SIDE OF THE STORY...

Update #2: Sunday 3:14am Pacific Time. zeurty has kindly offered to host all of the pictures and even the movies for me for which I am greatful. currently, we are transferring the movies over but the pictures are ready and the links will point to his server. my server will stay up for backup purposes though.
Update: Sunday 1:23am Pacific Time. I will be taking my server down in the morning because in order for my web server to stay up I had to disconnect the router and connect directly to the modem which meant other people in my house couldn't share the internet connection on their own computer. That was no problem since no one needed to use the internet tonight but in the morning I will have to reconnect the router. Basically that means I will have to re-update the ip address of omni.wiredigital.net for the router and I will have to figure out how to set up port fowarding. If any one has any *detailed* advice on how to set that up on a Netgear MR814 or would host the media themselves, I would appreciate it and let me know.
here is the website to download some of the amd pictures. it's not organized really. so click on AMD Pictures or AMD Movies depending on which one you want the see. the pictures in the home directory aren't from AMD but they are of my case. so basically to see some of the pictures from the Seattle event
1) click here <-- fast server. click here (backup) for my server if the other link doesn't work. use it sparingly please
2) click on AMD Pictures OR AMD Movies
3) click on the picture you want.
btw I need someone to host this as currently the pictures are hosted on my very own system and I have a limited 16Kb/sec bandwidth. msg me if you can help.
