    HEXUS and VIA's Super Christmas System Giveaway!

    When we do competitions, we do them properly. We have teamed up with VIA to make sure you have a brilliant Christmas. We have put together an absolutely fantastic system for you. To be frank, I'm more excited about the prospect of winning a VIA Technologies T-Shirt, but an Athlon FX based PC wouldn't go amiss.
    Looking forward to Christmas? Hoping to get a fat stocking full of presents? Just want to get your hands on a fat PC system to pass the winter hours? We can't help you if you're a scrooge and we can't help you out in time for Christmas, but we can help you start the new year with a high-performance bang. Since it's nearly 2005, we thought we'd round up some of 2004's best PC components with the help of some of our partners, have two of the UK's finest system integrators stick them all into 2004's best chassis, before tweaking the nuts off it and giving it away to one lucky reader from anywhere in the world on the first day of 2005.
    Yes, you read correctly, the system has actually had its nuts tweaked off! You probably don't want to dwell on that though; entering the competition is far more important. Find out how, right here.


    Zak Edit: HOLY CACK!!!!! Who sanctioned THIS lot???? AWESOME
    Athlon 64 bit FX53 - Radeon X800 XT 256mb DDR3 Platinum Edition - 1 gig of Corsair ram @5-2-2-2

    PHP Code:
    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();

    I think I should point out that for me, using firefox, there's like a big banner or something covering the right side of the page:

    [img=http://img144.exs.cx/img144/7900/screen0gf.th.png]

    Sorry about the poor quality image - I think it shows what's necessary though .

    You're running at a low res (by the looks), and the table has a minimum width that combined with your res, results in that.
    PHP Code:
    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();
