7 days remaining to vote

I am surprised with all the people folding, gaming, ocing etc here all he has gotten is 400 something votes...

Im not a big fan of these "help us win" threads. Its almost cheating IMO. That said, after looking through the contest entries:
 
I've voted for the L3P Desk because it seems like the most practical mod of the bunch, which is what most modders seem to put last. Sorry, but its function before beauty for me.

you guys are only looking at beating the desk. odds are you won't bet the desk it is to far ahead.but you should be worried about not even making top 3. the gingerbread house on page 2 has 2nd place by like 300 votes over  tron. then on page 3 the space ship is pretty much neck an neck with tron.would be a shame if tron didn't even make the top 3

I gave Tron my vote too. I do also like the desk 1, it makes a nice presentation, though it is a simple and easy to execute idea. I think the Gingerbread house's votes are propped up with spam votes, it's an art piece, but silly idea and useless rig. The one's I feel should have more votes than they do are the 8-bit white mage and BETA (I know the guy who made BETA and it is a beautifully conceived and executed project).

 
 the beta is my fav case there. it is sexy an clean. it isn't some crazy over the top thing like most of the others. but i voted for tron cuz i loved watching it get made on the forums

Im sure the L3P Desk has a thread like this somewhere to be as far ahead as it is in votes but I get your point. 

 
With such an extensive work log, im sure they do.  I've followed the Tron Light-Cycle build on these forums. The amount of work and detail that went into it is really impressive, dont get me wrong. But other than look pretty and take up a massive amount of desk space, its not very practical.

I finally got my confirm votes (3 e-mails, 3 votes)

Dude, how is a permanently fixed computer anything close to "practical"? 

 
I dont see anything permanent. It seems no different than upgrading any other water cooled system. The tron cycle is the size of a desk, the L3p Desk gives you a desk to work on.  How is that not practical?
 
Regardless, people should vote on what they think is best, not what they are asked to.  Good luck to all participants.

The guy states that all the cooling is done under his house. That doesn't exactly inspire confidence in the fact that his "PC" can be moved with any type of ease.
 
Now I suppose one can argue that almost anything can be "moved" (I saw someone moving an entire house on the freeway yesterday for example), however as far as computers go, this one is pretty much set in stone IMO.

In any case, you have given me something to think about. I'm going to go turn my 800D on its side so I can eat a sandwich on it and do a cross word puzzle at the same time. Apparently that will make it much more practical.
 
 
On a somewhat related note... 
  
WOAH (and I'm not talking about the computer)!

Ok I did think about this before I posed my thread. Thus you will note I have always stated the following on my opening statement
"if you think as I do that its the best mod there please vote via the link im posting and confirm your vote via your email inbox"
You are of coarse able and as we have seen willing to vote for other builds. I just hope to point out what I feel is a far superior and original design and fabrication and build the complexity to me is immense compared to a simple square box. But as always this is my opinion some will not agree and this is ok.

I read through the thread for the Tron Light-Cycle build. I then went and looked at the other entries I liked the Tron Light-Cycle so I voted for it, I got the validation email straight away too. There's something ornamental about it, like it should take pride of place along with the Classic Model Cars some collect or Sci-Fi collection. Okay well that's my ramblings. I liked it I voted .

Congrats bud!! Your efforts paid off and you deserve it

There were a lot o good entries in that contest, but the best man won.  That TRON bike was waaaaaaaay over the top.  Poor blokes who entered had no chance against it.

There was no question in my mind that he wouldn't win! Congrats again!!

Apparently the public voting was used as part of the points.  There were judges at CM that graded the cases.
