Somehow find the contest winners rig a bit silly. Sure it's great and all - but modding isn't about hardware specs, but about looks, feel and cools. It's like with cars - the fastest isn't nessecarily the best.
Someone building a c7 system that looks like a hand mixer or builds a 4 cpu server into a piano or something would be a lot cooler than someone who builds a 'simple' workhorse pc into a 'simple' chassis imo.
^^^Yeah mine too. I liked that system with all the consoles built into a video game machine. So yeah what neiroapelcc says.

Agreed, but the winner was picked at random from all those who posted their rigs in the forum thread.
What Ben said =) Everyone who submitted their system was entered in the contest--we're just happy we got to see so many nice rigs!
Its not about how much money you can throw at a box, its what you can make it do. Any rich fool can pick up the most expensive components and cases and call it a "contest rig". Selecting components off a shelf is not called "design".
