JavaFox's Crazy Contest

JavaFox · Jul 24, 2002, 01:56 AM

Yes, people, it's yet another contest! WHY? To give you the chance to WIN BIG BIG BIG PRIZES! And because I like you! And because I'm bored!

All you have to do, eagle-eyed readers, is look at the intentionally sloppy and edited picture of my stack of motherboard boxes and identify the manufacturers, in order! The first person to post and get all of them correct automatically wins the contest. If nobody can guess them all, I'll declare a winner (based on most numer correct) after an arbitrary amount of time -- to be determined by my mood. Shoot, I might even give out a second-place prize, too.

What are the prizes, you ask? Weeeeeeeeeelll....

I like surprises, you see, so I'm not going to tell you exactly what you are going to win. I will give you hints, instead. Firstly, you will get one, brand-new, never-been-used piece of hardware. Don't worry, it's something extremely useful and cool. I use one myself. You probably have one already, but not as pimp as the one I'm going to send you should you win. Secondly, I will give you one legitimate PC game. Finally, you will receive one OS CD. No pirated CDs, of course! I'm a fox, not a weasel!

So, yeah, folks, it doesn't take much to compete! Look at the censored and intentionally blurred image below, tell me who made the motherboards that used to be in those boxes, and win THREE fantasically awesome prizes.
