Well boys and girls, this is how it is. My other home is in dire need of some updated, professional looking graphics, and I am offering some updated, professional performing prizes to the right dudes and dudettes who can come up with something fantastical.
First...if you want, take a good read through this thread (http://www.dfi-street.com/forum/showthread.php?t=36232) to make up any ideas that I might not cover here.
Possibly more prizes/better prizes if the entries are really really good!
Now...what exactly is the contest requirements...and what goodies am I gonna win if I meet those requirements?
Well, if you read the first post of that thread, then you wouldn't be asking that question!
now...if you don't know...DFI Lanparty = overclock until the Feds show up with nuclear material detectors because you have a chain reaction going inside your computer case it's so fast lol.
DFI Lanparty also means that people are crazy from the overclocking...radiation? And come up with some pretty spooky but killer ideas, like the one my buddy that now works for Epic Games on the Unreal series made two years ago:

Yeah...an overclocked Toaster. It's pretty fantastic 3d render and no one has really come close to the quality nor the theme yet...except for maybe one guy who is entered into the contest with this:

(yeah...that is a watercooled George Foreman grill with flames bustin' out of the side lol)
Here's some more entries in the contest already to let you know what you are up against, though most don't stack up to the entry above...but the guy that made the entry above has sorta disappeared...
Street sign (we are "DFI-Street" after all...if you read the contest rules/requirements you'd know this!)

this one is a good one that a guy just quickly put together from a previous render he had and put a quick skin on it...something like this would be killer too if we had like a scary flaming-skull driver and the car all done up in UV green/yellow/orange...

by the way...if you don't know what a "DFI Lanparty" is, here's a real good pic or three of what exactly they are:

ok, so now you know...here's a few more pics (they are all in the thread I linked ya to at the beginning, and there's plenty more than the ones I'm showing...I'm just trying to give you an idea)

PS: this is a render of the real DFI Lanparty skull logo (a good one to go from is also available in the thread i linked):
bah...dang ImageShack...click this to see the picture (http://img138.imageshack.us/my.php?image=head16bn.jpg)
or you can just ask me for it and I will give it to you.
The Street is going through a major upgrade this week/weekend.
It is time to finish up the contest and see what everyone is made of. I've got MORE prizes to toss in if you guys can assure me that you have something brewing that is so cool my brain will melt out into a puddle on the floor...I'll assume you guys aren't slackers like my forum members are so let's see what you got, and I'll make it worth your while ;)
