This is just to let all of you who sent us your credentials in hopes of becoming candidates in the Tom’s Hardware Overclocking Contest that the contest date has now been confirmed. The contest will be held on September 19, 2008 in Los Angeles.

For the record, this is not the system contestants will be using.
We will be contacting all who applied in a week or two. We have all of the applications you sent, but if you don’t hear from us within two weeks, send an email.
For more on the contest and info on how to apply or contact us, check out our earlier article.
We’ll be answering your questions about the contest soon. Do note that Tom’s Hardware will supply system hardware. Any and all mods to the hardware we provide are acceptable short of replacing the hardware. Liquid nitrogen is fair game for the contest.

A turbo Supra is nice indeed. An old buddy of mine used to have an RX7 with the third rotor mod, and another had a turbo Supra. They used to have quite a bit of fun after work.
A gaming PC might use a lot of electricity, but with the price of gas these days it's probably a cheaper hobby than sports cars. A game that has a lot of replay value is a lot like a scenic, twisty road without all the patrol cruisers.
Anyway, this seems like my kind of contest, but I can't go anyway. Nor do I have proof of my skills.
