Support one of our own!

[Kingslayer]

Ok, here's the deal. One of our members has entered a contest sponsored by Asus for computer mods. He is currently in second place, but is 300 votes behind the guy in the lead. Linkage here (http://event.asus.com.tw/EXPO2001/challenge/vote.asp). Look for the Jimmy DeLuca case, the sweet blue one.

The guy in first entered a computer in a old wooden box. No creativity there, get box, cut holes, and that's about it. Jimmy put some thought and creativity and time into his case. Go there and give him a vote. Help a forum brother out.

[bodezafa]

I voted 4 him.
That is one sweet Rig.:cool:

[RED Hot Machine]

Lets give a bit of forum support for the hard work this guy has put in to his case.


Smart Looking Case :D


I voted for it

[FerrariF50]

I voted too for him

[-=HN=- Wild9]

I have no clue but I bet the people at Asus are thinking the same thing.

[JAWS]

I voted for him too!:) Always here to help!

[Coolio]

he gets my vote

[eobard]

He's in third now. I voted for his case. Am I going to wind up on a telemarketing list for this?

[killem1x1]

I gave my vote, and like the rest of yuo can't understand why the beerbox is winning?

[Jeff Bolton]

that is one KILLER case...the nuclear symbol is so awesome, i had actually thought that that would be a good idea for a case but seeing someone actually do it is awesome! i think the appeal of the wooden case is its originality over standard boxes, but other than that i think a lot more of the blue case, its tight!

jeff

[Ebola]

YATTA!

[nerd4life]

woohoo...me too:)

[kardinal]

i hope i win!!!

errrr... wait.... :confused:

i hope he wins :D



he gots meh vote! :D

[dugans]

I've always been more into function than form, but that really is the best looking case of the bunch.

Good luck to him!

(and my vote is in the tally too.)

[RED Hot Machine]

Imagine if every Member of the Forum voted for him, that would be COOL :D

[Betty]

hmm...It says I already voted...but I haven't ever been there until I read this thread.
something is fishy....

[R0BB23]

well i would have to agree that the mooses case does suck ass.

i like the got Asus' case it has a cheap quality that appeals to me:D

and i vote for jimmy 8D:beer: :beer: :beer: :beer:

[eobard]

I voted for our group member's case but I disagree with the bad press you all ('cept spike) seem to be giving the moose case. I think it's got a unique style. I just hope that that case isn't as old as it looks, if Moosehead actually used to be available in wooden boxes instead of cardboard ones, and those cases haven't been available for a long time then I think it's a shame what was done to such a marvelous piece of Canadiana. A box like that belongs in a beer museum.

[Jeff Bolton]

if you found out what cookie it is you can probably delete it and vote as many times as you want (as long as you delete it every time). my dad has used that tactic before :D

It's not done by cookies, I've just checked using adsubtract Pro (logs all your cookies). They must log you ip address or something.

[tbirdkiri]

you guys are the best!

and as far as the ip loging.... i think its a combo but if you had dial up and new the cookie you could vote like a mad man.

[Crash893]

where voteing for Jimmy DeLuca right?
just want to make sure before i vote

[tbirdkiri]

roger

[Kurupt2001]

Got my vote :beer:

[Shadow ÒÓ]

I vote on honesty. Not for friendship.

I honestly think Jimmy has the best one there too. =)

[R0BB23]

i was split between the gehto one the cbox thing and jimmys.

so the friendship just pushed it over the edge, so i picked him.:) :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer:

[wizardloader]

I voted, but he needs alot more ppl:cool:

[DAGO]

I also voted for Jimmy's rig...don't know him, but he's part of this forum and that was enough to push my vote over to him...nice box as well...:burn:

[eobard]

Everyone write down the link, go to your local public library and sign up for time on one of the internet machines (assuming you have that available at your library) and vote twice. That'll balance the fact that some of us are not able to vote (like Compu-wife).

[CrystalMethod]

He got my vote/s! Managed to vote once from each of my machines. And he does by far have the best looking case there. Good job Jimmy!

[Mr B]

I voted for the Beer Case.....





























NOT! lol

Good luck Jimmy....good job, too! ;)

[Krusty]

BUMP

He needs a lot more votes here. Theres almost 11,000 members out there that should be casting their votes.

[Kingslayer]

Bump it.

[William]

I voted!

[Fightingpiper]

I voted with my main rig and tried to vote with my other three computers but it wouldn't let me. Must be the IP adress of my router (at least now I know its masking the actuall addresses of my computers) Too bad I couldn't vote a few more times.

[MrOOBiLL]

Well, it says i voted already. I can see asus is running a sophisticated website there! :beer:
BTW- Whats Jimmy's O/c.com name?

[dugans]

Site uses IP logging to track votes.

My Linksys router and isp usually use dhcp, but a few weeks ago they were upgrading servers, and to connect I had to enter ip info manually...........when the subnet is not busy it is amazing how many ip addresses are available............................:)

[Miss winnie]

here's what a new member can do ;)

[iggybaseball]

YYYYYEEEEAAAAAAHH!!!!!!! Go Jimmy!!!!!!!!! I voted too:):):)

[CrystalMethod]

bump!

[Krusty]

Ima gonna give this a bump cuz i'd like to see a few more votes for this guy.

[Gravity Man]

I don't know how you broadbanders should do it, but for my dialup connection, I just disconnect and use winipcfg to release my IP address, then I re connect, and get a new one.

[Gandalf]

Voted.:)

[Staz]

OK I voted.

And I voted honestly.
I was not at all impressed with the Moosehead case. It isn't functional. You'd have to flip the box over to insert a cd-rom or floppy disk.

[tbirdkiri]

he goes by jdacura. i was the person who saw the whole thing go together and im very proud.

[KeyboardCowboy]

that is one sweet looking rig, more then happy to give a fellow brother of oc.com a vote, or a lung for that matter, if the price was right.......

[Kingslayer]

Bump

And I will continue to do so until he is in first place.

[R0BB23]

i have found a way to vote more then once.
i will not use this power for evil.
so any of you who are having trouble voting just let me know and i can do it for you.:) :D :D :beer: :beer: :beer:

[dugans]

I do not think I could get myself to do such a thing.

















Yeah right:burn:

[Killer Chef]

He gets my vote!
:burn: <---heh Burnout..I Like!!

[Newbie_Doo]

>>BUMP<<

[Ghaz]

I voted for Jimmy, truley I like his best.

[tbirdkiri]

<BUMP>

[dugans]

C'mon folks: we need some more Votes for this case!

OC.Com----Lets Go!

<bump>

[wizardloader]

Yeah, I voted all I could................ops I mean once:rolleyes:

[Christoph]

Gee, there are lots of computers at the college I attend. I wonder what would happen if I tried them all.
I can see why people voted for the box, but I think that he's probably got lots of computers at his school too.
It shouldn't even be a contest. I'm going to make sure that our opinions get counted at least once.

[Jackywebdesign]

BUMP!!! I voted for the member's rig twice.

Suggestion: Why don't the mods STICKY this thread to the top.

[Christoph]

Hear Hear! Sticky for justice! Don't let some misused beer box win out over a creative and well-executed case mod.

Edit: Awesome work so far. Only 201 more votes to go. I know that I'll be contributing!

[Ebola]

who is jimmy

anyways i've voted 3 times for him

[Sir-Epix]

Another vote for him...not because he is a follow member, but because his radiation glass won be over. I am sorry I am a sucker for that symbol. You the man...those guys got nothing on you! I can't wait to get some graphic art on my Case.

[CrystalMethod]

Ok, I've votes at least 20+ times on his case. I'm sure the guy with the beer case is having his friends do the same as us. I'm kinda in a moral delimma (<-SP?), right now. I really don't want to screw up Jimmy's chances by doing this. I just think that he's got the best looking case there (...aside from mine which I didn't enter, because I didn't want to be a show off... :rolleyes: ). I'm just wondering what Jimmy's opinion on what we're doing is on the whole thing. He's definately got skill and talent in the case modding area, and I think he deserves to win regardless of what the votes say. He's got the gut's to have entered in the first place (Notice no one else from OC.com entered?), and he 's a fellow OC.com member. I'd really like to know how the Mods and more importantly, Jimmy feel about us voting multiple times.

[Christoph]

This is where I get most of my OCing News from, and I hadn't seen Anything about the Contest in the alternative mods Forum. I don't have anything to enter at the Moment, but if I ever get my Microwave case mod started (then finished) I'll be sure to enter it wherever I can.

[Christoph]

<bump>
397-548
LET'S GET OUT THERE AND VOTE!!!

[foxmulder]

Here goes my vote. Glad help a brotha out.
I'll vote again as soon as I get on my computer at home
That is one awsome case.

[CrystalMethod]

Bump.

[tbirdkiri]

jims a good frient of mine but he's been really busy lately....
he goes by JDAcura. and he doesnt mind a little "advantage" cause he beleives that the beer box is getting the same treatment.
THNX!

[tbirdkiri]

asus seems to be down.....

[Christoph]

Uh-oh. Looks like a bunch of the comps at my school are on the same router. I've given our friend an extra vote, but I'm not sure how many more I can do.
We've got 11,000 members. Come on people. Finish reading the yatta thread and vote!

i wouldnt pay a cent for a pentium system, i would buy the case if it was green.

im not a big fan of blue.:p

edit- 6x

and i agree it doesnt look like hes playing fair there.

i dont want to but i might have to start playing dirty too.:D :D :beer:

[Tbone1]

1 vote from work,1 from home

[Christoph]

2x Yatta, but I'm going to play with my IP address and see if I can't scare up some more vote equalization.

[Rooster]

Isn't that wood case the one on the back of maximum pc november issue

[Zuck Gou :)]

5 and counting from me... I hope he beats that sneaky wood box.

[Christoph]

My vote really does mean a lot(all 11 of them:D:D:D). It's amazing how easy it is to change to IP address of your router. If any of you can't seem to get your vote in, tell me, and I'll make sure you're well represented.
I wonder if they check their IP logs for conspicuous patterns ("Let's see.. 11 hits from 23.431.94.* all for Jimmy?! Holy smokes! We'd better take a few of those off.")

[tbirdkiri]

so no one wants to pick it up when its all done?

[Suzie]

Count 1 more vote!

:)

[Christoph]

You mean make it all even? I could do that, but I feel that that would be too unethical.

[tbirdkiri]

no the system,
and the moose is cheating i know it

[Christoph]

Of course he's cheating, and it's a real shame that we have to cheat to make up for his cheating. As for the case, I'd much rather do my own mod, even if it didn't look as good as his. That and I don't plan on buying any wIntel chips until they're as much fun as AMD (could be a LONG while).

[tbirdkiri]

bump

[TT120]

Hey Jimmy, I see you and your rig at all the lan parties here in the Sacramento area. I voted for yours but I still think mine looks cooler. :D

[tbirdkiri]

dude bill.
jim runs the molan,
u were there.
im the kid who skewled your system in the porche racing game,
giants and so on.

[CrystalMethod]

Need 124 more votes to tie.
*bump*

[Fightingpiper]

I Just got to vote Again! I don't know why but it let me vote agin. Must be something to do with the router and ISP but I don't know to much about it. I got the router to work and haven't delved into inner workings of it.

[Christoph]

Only -15 more votes! :D:D:D

yap just jumped a 110 vote gap, wonder what happened

guess 2 gnomes had to do something with this.:D :D :D :D :D :D

[tbirdkiri]

AHHHH!!!!!!!!!

[CrystalMethod]

SWEET! Lets keep it up and give him a good lead!
:D

no clue...

bump

[Christoph]

As a space robot friend of mine once said, our mission is now complete.
Jimmy is way ahead, and I don't think that he'll need any more help. Someone make sure to keep an eye on the site (http://event.asus.com.tw/EXPO2001/challenge/vote.asp#) in case something happens and post back here to sound the alarm.
BTW, when's the voting deadline. I couldn't seem to find anything.

[CrystalMethod]

*bump*

[Christoph]

Right now, the score is 707 to 628 with our boy in the lead. I've got the site bookmarked and will keep an eye on it, but I don't think that we'll need to keep bumping this thread.

[Krome]

what does he get for winning? I voted for him anyway.

[CrystalMethod]

It's not about what he gets, it's more about supporting one of our members.

[Christoph]

[R0BB23]

i knew it hes cheating, lets take care of this ideamag:D

[CrystalMethod]

Ummm... the "wooden, no talent, I threw components into this box I had lying around the house, while I was drunk from emptying the bottles that were inside it" just jumped into the lead by 100 votes... Need some votes here boys and girls...

[Christoph]

It's not easy making up a 100 point difference late at night. I'll do it in the morning, provided that someone will give me a hand.

[Crazy Jayhawk]

*votes*

[robjustice]

I voted for Jimmy, it looks like he is in second about 106 behind the moose.

[Wyno]

I liked it the best too. He got my vote.

[Taylor]

i looked 'em over, I agree the wood box is lame compared to many others which were built with some real effort -n- creativity.

I actually preferred Jimmies 2nd, right behind one which really didn't have enough votes to compete, so I voted for Jimmy anyway.

[Hardass]

He got my vote.

[Christoph]

Anybody with a router who wants to help out PM me.

[CrystalMethod]

Been voting on and off all day. Maybe we should send out a mass E-mail, to all the members. Just a thought, as there's not a whole lot of time left.

[Gandalf]

The link doesnt work for me.....

[Christoph]

It's screwy. Try it a couple of times at 20 minute intervals. Looks like it's not real high on Asus' priority list.

[tbirdkiri]

AAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
JIM NEEDS HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Christoph]

Wow! Looks like I'm not the only one helping out. Way to go all! Our guy's about 200 votes ahead at 3000+/-!!!

[Twinkle]

well i did my part
rack up one more for Jimmy

[Christoph]

Looks like it's up to the judges now. I noticed that they're not posting the results until they're done looking for irregularities. I wonder if they'll find any. :rolleyes:

Edit: Looks like they're going to announce the winner on Friday the 13th. Not a good sign. :eek:

[Mictlan]

But this friday is 14 not 13.....

[Christoph]

http://imagehost.auctionwatch.com/preview/id/ideamagnate/screenshot001.JPG
I know it and you know it, but I don't think that they know it.

[R0BB23]

i didnt do it.

well hopfully even if they do notce the odd simalar ips, they wont disqualify jimmie and if they do so then what they will do is delete the sim ips and if they do that i think jim will win with support of his fellow overclockers.

cause that moose guy was cheating the whole time, hes probably in last when they delete the sim ips:D:D:D:D

[CrystalMethod]

Keep your fingers crossed boys and girls...

[flounder43]

Here's what I get:
"Please be patient as we audit the votes for irregularities and determine the winner."

Ok, somebody call Justice Scalia and lobby for our guy...Maybe Ted Olson is available...

After all, voting "irregularities" can be "FIXED" quickly by the High Court.

[Christoph]

I think that it's got less to do with fingers and more to do with IP addresses. I'll keep my IP address crossed though.

[Gandalf]

SO is he going to win?

[Christoph]

what irregularities what are you talking about, *looks around nervously*
ahhahahhahaha what are you talking about.

hehehheehhe

idea made me do it.

[Dissolved]

looks like he lost :(

[Christoph]

I can't believe that the moose won. At least it's over now.

[Dissolved]

yea, thats a lame case... very ugly... he must of cheated..

[el]

what did he even win a case of beer? ;) no seriosly cuz his mod sucked.

[eobard]

I actually didn't think it was a bad mod, more than one of his competitors, including Jimmy, did better, more involved mods, but his was good as far as it went. I was disappointed that such a conversation piece as that box would be destroyed just to win a contest. I think he won (if he didn't cheat) because of the novelty factor. Then again the milk crate thing was pretty novel too.

[el]

jimmy should have painted the cd drives. he would have won then.
