[tanka12345]

Congratz guys! Didn't Frizod opt out of the contest? Will there be any more prizes awarded as I have heard there will be 2 Stages to the contest. One question, was this contest even open worldwide in the first place? (It didn't state any restrictions). I'd appreciate it if anyone could tell me what the winners had over my entry in the 'simple and original design'.
And Clay,you seem to be living off NZXT :p

Congratz again guys!

[frizoid]

I did opt out as I wasn't happy with the way the competition was being organised, johnny has explained to me the different stages of the contest would be judged seperately with prizes for each, one stage before you added the extension and one stage afterwards. I would like zee to still be considered for the first stage.

If you need confirmation you can ask him, there seems to have been a lot of miscommunication.

[tanka12345]

I hope you're allowed to claim your prize :). What are you going to go for? I think the fan controller is the best option, or the Avatar is nice if you get the revised version :thumbsup:. I may ask Johnny later, as I too think there has been a lot of miscommunication.

[frizoid]

BTW gratz to clay regardless, your second design was really good, non of this ill feeling is directed your way :P

[Joco]

Congratz guys!

[x.clay]

definately the Khaos :thumbsup: I assume I need to PM Retell and/or sgvxdave with my shipping info and phone number?

Congrats Frizoid! I am glad you managed to score a nice prize despite your frustrations with the contest. Are you goin to pick the avatar or the sentry?



And Clay,you seem to be living off NZXT :p



Once these prizes show up I'll be sporting a NZXT mouse, case, and fan controller. People are going to think I work for NZXT or something :p

[Exitialis]

Congrats guys :D

[arev]

Congratulations, X.Clay & Frizoid. I'm looking forward to the next competition :)

[Cybortek]

Congrats to the winners! I am not sure if Retell ever received any of my submissions below last February.

[slugbug]

Congrats winners. Hopefully prizes arrive quicker than the last contest.

[x.clay]

Congrats winners. Hopefully prizes arrive quicker than the last contest.

I hope so too. I haven't heard anything from any of the NZXT staff or admins requesting shipping info but I went ahead and sent it to Retell and sqvxdave anyway.

[Joco]

They can still wait a few months and still be faster than last time :p
Just kidding, they're not that bad, it was just me who caused them some problems, haha!

NZXT are the best! Yay.. goodnight fellas! :)

[NZXT_Dood]

hello everyone! i want to first congratulate all the winners. I chose the winner based on all submission, however, if Frizoid wishes to withdraw her design i will re-pick. Also, what we will do is draw two sets of winners, one from the 1st batch and one from the 2nd extended mascot contest. I'll keep you guys posted... currently overseas but once i get back i'll get this sorted out. I'll make sure the prizes get out on time :)

[x.clay]

Thanks for the update :)

[Joco]

The second extended mascot contest? What have i missed?

[frizoid]

Yes, please pick another winner for the second half of the mascot contest, as per our emails.

Thank you for your time, enjoy the rest of your trip.

[tanka12345]

How exactly are these stages going to be run? I want to know if my submission is in the first or second stage. :)

[NZXT_Dood]

The 2nd stage was everything that came in past the first deadline. I'm still waiting on Retell to get me all the entries split into two contests.

[x.clay]

:pop2: looking forward to seeing who else won. I hope Retell gets you the updated list soon.

[tanka12345]

Me too! :)

[NZXT_Dood]

I would like all of those who submitted entries to please email me again at designer@nzxt.com. Those who submitted after the extension please note in your emails. Please be honest with your submission, Retell has the entries but has been busy lately so i'm taking the initiative in order to close this contest and distribute prizes. Thank you everyone.

[x.clay]

e-mail sent. Thanks for taking the initiative. I hope you can get things sorted out soon :)

[tanka12345]

Email sent. :)

[frizoid]

good luck guys, I won't be submitting mine :)

[arev]

Thanks, Dood, email sent :)

[NZXT_Dood]

i've only got some guys, going to keep collecting until end of this week, will make the announcement next monday.

[tanka12345]

What prizes are up for grabs in the second round?

[tanka12345]

Looks like today is the day. :)

[x.clay]

i've only got some guys, going to keep collecting until end of this week, will make the announcement next monday.

We're running out of Monday - Let's see some winners :p

Good luck to everyone that entered :thumbsup:

[NZXT_Dood]

i'll let this go until end of Today, if i get no more submissions, it'll make it really easy for me to pick the winners. :)

[tanka12345]

Thanks for the update Dood, the day is nearly over I think. I guess everyone forgot or they don't want some awesome NZXT gear (but I do :D).

[NZXT_Dood]

i've updated the winners. Please contact me by PM with your address.

[x.clay]

PM sent :thumbsup:

[arev]

Congrats x.clay :D

[x.clay]

Thanks Arev!

Are you going to pick the Avatar or Sentry?

[arev]

I picked Avatar. Sentry is an eye-candy, but since my Lexa is usually closed it would be a waste :D And I really like hi-end mice :)

[Sir Mandrake]

Kinda catching up with the times here - Congrats to the winners. Everybody's designs were really good and worthy of NZXT use. Enjoy your prizes!

[tanka12345]

Congratz to the winners. :)

Although I wasn't one :( Is it possible to get some feedback on my submission?

I'm not so sure that Cybortek will claim his/hers prize, as he/her hasn't logged in in two weeks.

Was my submission actually considered/judged?, as the Gallery Retell compiled with the entries doesn't include mine.

Out of interest, was this contest open worldwide?

[NZXT_Dood]

this contest, like all our contests, are open worldwide. The only difference in some countries is that the prizes may vary ( not all our products are carried in certain countries ). Congratulations to the winners again

[Cybortek]

I want to say thanks to all especially NZXT Dood, Retell, etc. for my very first fantastic contest prize. Some other contestant designs were interesting ideas and it was a fun experience to join in the contest. Congrats to Clay and Arev for being winners too! Enjoy your prize!

PS: I wish NZXT team would give a confirmation response in the future contest to confirm whether, if our submissions were successfully entered in the contest. Without a feedback, it gets really confusing, if we ever entered or not with a big question mark on our heads.

I will pick Sentry LX as a great addition to my Apollo case.

Once again, thanks guys!! I do look forward to receiving my new techie toy. :thumbsup:

[x.clay]

congrats Cybortek :)

[neon.uk]

My entry (the bomb guy) was completely outclassed by the others - but what can I do when I open up PS like once a month for a play around :D

Well done to the winners!

[NZXT_Dood]

the prizes in the states have gone out. :)

[x.clay]

Thanks for the update! I'm pretty psyched about actually having the chance to own a Khaos :cool:.

[x.clay]

the Khaos and Sentry showed up today. Wow its a nice looking case. The pictures just don't do it justice.

I am hoping to move my system over this week. I would love to do it tonight but I have work I have to get done :ohwell: I'll get some more pictures up once I get a chance to pull it apart and start installing stuff.

[tanka12345]

Looks great Clay! Post up some pics when you get round to moving your hardware :)

At least the shipping was pretty fast!

[x.clay]

I got everything moved over and installed :D

This case delivers some serious cooling performance. My temps dropped 5c-10c across the board over my Cooler Master 690 with 7 case fans. I am running 7 fans in the Khaos but apparently the placement is much better for moving air through the case. Thanks again NZXT :thumbsup:

[arev]

Looking pretty sexy :) What about the noise with so many fans?

[x.clay]

It isn't silent but it is very quiet. I installed two quiet cooler master fans and a noctua fan in the center bracket and they move a ton of air but don't make a lot of noise.

[x.clay]

Here is a picture of the cable management. I ran most of the cables behind the 5.25" bays. This gave me lots of places for zip ties.

The front wheels were a great idea. I wasn't sure if I was going to like them but they make moving and working on the case so much easier and the are small enough that you can't see them when the case is on the floor.

I finished getting the the probes for the sentry hooked up last night and everything is working great. I have it hooked up to my video card fan, the two front hard intake fans, and the two rear exhaust fans. I have the probes hooked up to my video card, my hard drive, my northbridge, and a heatsink right behind my CPU. I really like how you can switch back and forth from manual to automatic settings.

[arev]

Hi guys, I've just received my Avatar. I was a bit surprised as there was no heads-up in this thread. Anyway, thanks :)

[Cybortek]

This is an update to my PC with a new Sentry LX installed. It is an impressive quality product and NZXT did an excellent job on it. :thumbsup:

[Exitialis]

im more interested in the car to be honest. That yours?

[Cybortek]

im more interested in the car to be honest. That yours?

Yes it is. My PC in matching colour does look good next to my car, so I took this pic.

[Exitialis]

sweet ride to have in the garage :)

[neon.uk]

A really high quality/high res image of that would make a great wallpaper. I love the look of that sentry with the Apollo's smoked front panel.

[Cybortek]

Yes it would make a great wallpaper. ;)

I removed the tinted smoke cover on my Apollo because it is very difficult to see through. So I custom modified my case, by replacing it with a customized clear plastic cover, which I can now see the LCD screen better. I can also easily attach/detach the smoke cover on top of the clear cover for protection without any effort as well.

[Cybortek]

sweet ride to have in the garage :)

Thanks

[Retell]

I think my Civic has a better sound system though! Hah!

[Exitialis]

all those who would rather have a civic over a Ferrari? no one? thats what i thought

[Cybortek]

I think my Civic has a better sound system though! Hah!

LOL You may have a cool sound system! :)

On my car, it does have a good sound system, but honestly I hardly ever use it. There's nothing like the loud sound of the symphony of a Ferrari engine music behind my ears! :D
