Well, it's been 2 months since we've opened our doors, so we figured its time to thank all of you who have made this such a great place to hang out.

As such, we are going to be offering a grand opening door prize to our charter members. We will randomly select a winner from the ranks of the membership as of today, excluding those who are staff members or members who have experienced a temporary (or permenant) ban. So if you're signing up today, thanks and welcome aboard, but unfortunately you won't qualify for the prize :)

Now to the bit you care about: What's the prize?

A bundle that includes:

Abit NF7-S v2.0 motherboard
AMD XP 2500+ "Barton"
256mb PC2700 DDR SDRAM :mullet:

The drawing will be held on August 1st, 2003 to celebrate the 2 month anniversary of short-media.com

Best of luck! :)

    Oh, this would come in so handy...

    If you do this like the NBA draft lottery, and give people with the worst gear a better chance, I ought to have it made!:p

    hmm...i think we should start a new staff category called "Everyone but shwaip" These people decide who's going to win the contest.

    Ha, not even close Prof. My home computer is a 4 year old E-machines Celeron 400 Mhz with 96 MB RAM running Windows 98 (not enough RAM to bother upgrading it, you know?)

    My 12 yr old son was banging his head last night doing 60 MB+ scans of Yugioh cards and Photoshopping them with his own artwork. He had to reboot every 20 mins or so to flush the RAM.

    So, a vote for me is a vote to encourage my kid's creativity :)

    What kind of man is so sick that he wishes luck to others in a contest that he's entered in. You disgust me profdlp. * shivers *

    Anyways, I guess i wont enter to give you all a good chance, seeing as i have all the sweet gear you speak of.

    It's entirely altruistic! I was only thinking of saving them a few extra dollars, honest. :D:D:D

    In that case, I hope you win.:thumbsup:

    But if I win, I'm still keeping the cool loot.:p

    Well, wishing someone else luck isn't going to alter the odds of me winning. And now, win or lose, Dexter thinks I'm a swell guy.

    I view it as a Win/Win thing.:thumbup

    Oh how cool is THIS??? PICK ME PICK ME!!! I need that board to, uh, feed my kids? Yeah, that's it....come on, baby needs to eat this week!!!!! :)

    Actually, the board would find a home inside my soon to be built gaming rig, and my current machine could be dedicated to the folding effort! :)

    Again, just to reiterate...PICK ME!!!!!

    Very cool Prime and S-M staff, very very cool.
