I think it's a super fun idea. I wish there were more of these types of competitions here on the board to be honest. My stance is, we can grumble about the rules, or play the game and see what we can get out of the hardware we have. It ain't really about the prizes, it's about how far you can push …

They are primarily used for builds like "Ultimate Windows 98/XP gamings system" or similar jazz. Overall it's a commodity, but not as valuable as 7800/7900/7950 AGP cards. But latter are harder to find, so most settle with the next best thing, which is more commonly available. There were one of …
