So there are 2 cheaters now.

wow can u not browse throught he pictures, and see that pscyhonoob used on of those pictures from the website to even partake in this contest until i saw that.

You should have said that in the first place. Instead of cheating why didn't you report him? Did you think following by his example was fine?

Just as a suggestion for any future contests that incorporate a similar idea; having users include their forum username hand written on a price of paper in their entry/entries is a good idea to prevent cheating.

Just keep digging.

Excellent pics guys - keep them rolling in!  Remember, you can take a picture of a different heatsink (not your own) and send that it for another chance to win!

dude do you not read either

Did you really think he meant you can use google? Not your own means friends, family, workplace, not google; have some common sense.

also: http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/1020661/is-dirtiest-pc i wasn't the first one to start doing that, so someone who led by example

How does that relate to this contest?

Your entries are painfully obvious.

meh, does not say u can't do what i did. i'm sure others found some on internet as well.

I am guessing your didn't read the contest page. 3rd paragraph says the following:
In order to get in to win, you have to post up a picture of your nasty cooler. Key word is "your".

does not say in rules, plus zues said in a post, you can take pics of other peoples photos, so waht's the problem, essentially the same thing.

So do you know the people who own those heatsinks that you posted as your entries? No, you don't because you googled them.

Contest is now closed - congratulations to Werty316!!!





To celebrate our WeeklyTechUpdate podcast, and to get you guys some more free schwag, CoolIT Systems has dropped us a CoolIT Domino A.L.C. for us to give away to a luck reader/listener.  If you don't kn. . .

The Domino ALC cooler arrived today:



Based on my first impression its a great little unit but the tubing is very stiff. My only concern is I've heard some bad stories about the Domino ALC 

Thank you Zeus and thank you CoolIT!

Too bad I don't have any dirty coolers

Now that I think about it, my workplace probably has some nasty coolers that haven't never been cleaned, ever

I'll spread the word in other forums

Woohoo! Thank you Zeus, everyone at BCCHardware, and CoolIT! You guys rock! I'll post some pics up once the cooler arrives.

That amateur video footage was quite neat up until the balloon popped.

ATI has really been on a roll ever since they released the HD47xx series and it looks like they have another winner. The ball is now in nVidia's hands so we can only hope that the GT300 is worthy to take back the crown (It probably will).

There's an article floating around which says that Zune HD owners get dinged $50 for no reason whatsoever. Great job M$

12-core CPU!?!?! And I thought a quadcore was enough these days.

AMD Eyefinity is a nineat ce feature but having space between each display is annoying.

I read about it when news broke about this HD format and one comment by a reader in the link sums it up:

The big arghuement against BR was always the royalty thing. Any new format will be costly, but the studios saw blu ray as a) a means to screw EVERYONE in the whole food chain and b) ram DRM down everyones throats.
