----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Welcome to what I hope will become a semi-monthly-whenever-we-think-about-it tradition! This isn't a 'contest' where you win anything other than bragging rights and getting photos of your system featured on the front page and our Facebook page.

The rules are simple.

• Post a picture of your system in this thread.
• Photos must be reasonable sizes - 1000px x 1000px max.
• Maximum three photos, so choose wisely.
• The picture must be uploaded to the forum, like so:
  
• If your photo is not uploaded to the forum, your entry will be deleted. If you need help with that, don't hesitate to ask.
• Assuming there are plenty of entries, after two weeks'ish, forum staff will decide on the top 3-5 systems out of the submissions.
• Once the top systems are chosen, a poll will be added to the thread for everyone to vote on their favorite.
• He or she whose rig is voted the top will have their system featured in a frontpage article and a post on our Facebook page.

This isn't only about how powerful your system is, or how good it looks, or how original, or how whatever...it's all of those things combined. If you don't have a very powerful system but it looks good, post it. If you have an original looking system, post it. If you have a ZOMG look how powerful it is system post it. Anything goes. There are no high stakes, just the honor of having your system posted on the front page and our Facebook page.

Since we hope this becomes a semi-regular thing, winners must sit out the next six Rig o' The ___ contests. You can still post to show people what they should strive for, but they're ineligible to win again for six months.

So let's see it OCF! Enter your systems. Oh, and anyone can enter, so you'd better believe I'm posting too!

This offering is an incomplete build (project log here). It works great, it just isn't prettified. Still, hopefully it looks good enough to start us off!

Specs:

• i7 3960X
• ASUS Rampage IV Extreme
• 32GB G.Skill TridentX DDR3-2400 (The RAM in the top photo is current, RAM in the bottom one was replaced by the TridentX kit.)
• AMD HD 7970 (reference)
• OCZ Vertex 3 MaxIOPS 256G
• Seagate 2TB & Western Digital 1TB storage drives
• Cooler Master Silent Pro Hybrid 1300W
• Lian Li PC-Z70
• CPU Water Loop - Swiftech MCP350, XSPC Res Top, Swiftech Apogee XT, Koolance 2x140 Radiator

Funny, depending on who you know "nothing too special" can take on different meanings!

In some circles, maybe that is nothing too special, but its a pretty damn nice rig.

I dont even have a rig in a case at the moment
