Post the pics + specs here, so the forum trolls can scrutinize them and decide whether you are worthy to cross over our bridge to the wonderful castle of PCFormat rig of the month.
Otherwise just PM Nab, I think KillerByte will also know where you can enter.

Does rig of the month have to be modded or can it just be about the hardware?

I was wondering exactly the same thing. Even just sticky a thread for rig of the month entries ... but I suppose that could become messy unless it's locked and admins do all the posting.UrBaN wrote:/OT: KB, would it be possible to make a page showing the entries for Rig of the Month?
I for one would love to see the different entries and ideas, whether they win or not.

Re: Rig of the month!?
Lol yeah, I sometimes get the feeling that there wasn't too much to choose from when I see the rig of the month. No offense to anyone
Can we like submit our rigs twice? Eg. right now my hardware specs suck but I want to submit it, but after a few months I get new hardware, can I then submit my rig again?

Re: Rig of the month!?
As much as I love browsing the forums, I must ask that all Rig of the month entrants submit their rig along with the highest quality images you have of your rig.
If you have upgraded your rig, and your rig has not been featured in the mag then by all means please send us your new and improved rig.

Re: Rig of the month!?
OK just to clarify: send your submissions to letters@pcformat.co.za complete with specs. We will then contact you for more or higher res images if needed as well as possibly a video that we want to put on the mobizine. I am dead keen on modified machines though, a Rectron special with some LED's is not likely to make it, especially after some of the awesome mods we have on the local scene. If you have any questions plx raise them now as this thread is going to be locked very soon!
What you see written above is my opinion and not that of the peeps that put food on my plate.

Okeeday...
I guess mine won't make it in just yet... I think I'll do some cutting on the chasis and see what happens...

Re: Rig of the month!?
Hi All,
Lemme just say from the outset that this machine is as of yet unmodded. However, the cabling was fun to do in this notoriously difficult case to work in.
Well, here are the specs of my new machine which FINALLY arrived last Friday 30 Jan 2009.
Mobo: MSI Ecplipse SLI
CPU: Intel Core i7 920
RAM: 3 x 2gb Transcend DDR3 1333
GFX: Leadtek GTX260 Extreme+
HDD: 2 x 500gb Seagate Barracuda SATA II 32mb cache RAID0
PSU: Gigabyte Odin Pro 1200W
Case: Antec Nine Hundred
Monitor: Samsung 2243BWX
KBD: OCZ Alchemy Elixir
Mouse: Logitech MX518
Mouse Pad: Razer Mantis
I'll put some pics on the FB group for you guys if you are interested.
Its been about 4 or 5 years since I last bought a rig (AMD Athlon XP 2400+, FX5700, etc), so this is a real change for me (earning your own cash and being able to source things at retail cost helps a lot too!!!)
L8r all
