Hey,  I've posted my build up on modsrigs and was wondering wat was meant by the "200 posts" that are required to obtain the $1000 sponsorship from EVGA? Any help would be great. Also, check out the build, it's the CMU Scobell PC.
 
Thanks.

    The $1000 is a giveaway to a randomly selected Mods Rigs user posting. This selection is made in 200 post intervals. So 200 system builds that meet the criteria need to be posted to Mods Rigs to trigger each random draw.

    Nic is absolutely correct. That is exactly how it works so if you don't enter your rig you don't have a chance to win.

    You also need to make sure that you have met the criteria:
     
    • Have an EVGA Member Account (which you do - and welcome by the way!  )
    • Have a completed Mods Rigs system (again, which you do)
    • Have a valid system image uploaded (which you need to do)
    • Have a valid 3DMark 11 or 3DMark Fire Strike (the page says Vantage - but they have rececntly removed that and replaced with Fire Strike)
    Once you have done all that, you will have an icon on your Mod Rigs page (looks like a poker chip) that says $1000 eligible.

    Still don't agree with "random".  I think that is unfair to people who spend a lot of time building a unique and beautiful system.  They should be hand picked by a judge.

    Then it might only go to people that already have money. We've all had a less than stellar system at one point or another. I like that everyone that fits the criteria has a chance.

    .....What? Give money to those who already have the money and say "Screw you broke EVGA supporters"? No. That's not how this works, EVGA is a fair company, They will allow everyone, Which is better than anything else, Remember... Greed won't get you anywhere. (Not saying you as in YOU, saying you as in, in general)

    200 rigs... really? , that kind of impossible for the normal PC owner, that being 97% of all the people in this forum, that being fair for everyone? Not entirely, only for that ultra rich 3%
    Which is very lame and unfair if you'd ask me, I hardly know anyone that has money for 200 PC's.. unless they are running a a massive render farm or so heh
     
    I have 8 systems and 6 of them are posted in MODS RIGS, but there is no way you would see me have 200 PC's, I could in no way afford such a thing and I don't see the need nor point, but winning 1000 USD or Euro just because some dude has 200 PC's is plain stupid
     
    Anyhow, I really hope I understood it wrong, because it would seem impossible to me, as to most people it would be in a similar way 
    You would never see me congratulate a rich person for winning such a prize, like the need it ... For your information, I do know lots more worthy people that could use a prize like that, people that are in need of money and that have done so much for the community, I speak of Chrome-M-Dragon Baltothewolf and EVGA_RobB for example and there are many others too, I won't speak for myself though, as I don't like promoting myself for that matter

    Sorry for my previous post if it upset anyone, it's just my opinion to the matter, thus I decided to disagree with this concept on how it works.
    Although I have totally nothing against EVGA, it's just this type of rewarding with such contests doesn't suit me or on other words I don't like how they are dealt out, But I do agree that a random system would be more appropriate, thereby only randomly selecting people that have not won yet
     
    This way it's fun for everyone that takes part of MODS RIGS, that way it might have a much greater interest and value 
    Everyone should have a chance at such a thing and not only the rich types that have 200 systems or more, this makes it impossible for almost 97% of the entire forum, which is why I don't like how the system works, that is what I get from it all.
     
    If I am mistaken here, please do explain clearly
    Many thanks for your understanding.

    OK everyone there is absolutely no need for bad attitudes. I have deleted some posts so please post professionally and with courtesy. It would be a shame to lock down this thread.

    Also I didn't understand very well the mechanism ....
    Anyway rjohnson11 I want to ask if EVGA may decide to sponsor even in the normal way and if how can we forward the request?

    one person doesn't need 200 rigs, it means for the total amount of rigs listed on the site goes up by 200, that number is from all "new" (since the last giveaway) systems from all users.
