Master Builder Biatches!
If anyone gets a subscription to APC Magazine, check the January 2010 issue on page 67. You will see a familiar (and might I say very attractive) face, and a full page article featuring me and my computer :)
I’ve won this month’s APC Master Builder competition (http://apcmag.com/masterbuilder.htm) for putting together my media center PC. I believe I win a Intel Core i5 CPU for being published, and something further for winning this round. Apparently I now get given a “special challenge” and if picked as a finalist travel to Sydney to build a PC on the spot… taking it home if I win (OK, not bloody likely, but anyhow).
Quote from the published article:
“Not one of the judges would change a thing on Luke’s system, all regarding it as a perfect example how to migrate the latest hardware into the living room.”
… I’m off to a bar with my copy of the mag to pick up chicks! This is the kind of thing that attracts chicks right?

That’s bloody impressive Lt. And to think we all heard it here first, months before APC Mag. I feel privileged.
The Jan issue is out...
It comes out to subscribers before it’s in the newsagency (I think). In any case, my work has a subscription which is where I saw the competition first.

good stuff
you do realise I will now have an uncanny infatuation towards you :P
Wow!
Lt, that is great news!
Your media centre was something I aspire to build some day…
With an intel i7, we’ll be seeing you on the latest games then? :-)
Maybe
I’ll be in on the latest games.
When I get a motherboard… and RAM… and graphics card…. and PSU… and case…
No idea what I’ll be doing with a random CPU. It’s possibly heading to ebay, or maybe the IPX server needs an upgrade….
:)
Nice.
Congratulations LT.
We should have a show down on the most competition’s won and published articles secured :-)
On the spot
Making the PC on the spot? I’m sure you can do that :-)
Brilliant!!
That is some achievement… well done.. the closest ive ever come in being in a magazine or newspaper is only my name in the Letters column.
All the best in the special challenge and will be watching this space for updates!!
Viva la IPX!!
Congrats
That’s awesome, nice work Lt!!
Excellent.
Excellent there lt. Better then winning a PS3, camera, mp4 player, and far more well earned. Carry on through the next round, you will do just fine. =)

Am gunna buy that mag just for this LT! well done
as one of the few lucky buggers who’ve met ya IRL, im gunna own it at feel privlideged
However…….. i want to know something
A: in the pictures of Lt’s Comp have a “IPX sticker” / is LT wearing IPX colours in them?
B: does Lt get teamipx.net or TeamIPX mentioned anywhere in the article?
C: does the this magazine support screw norwayness?
Well done LT… Very impressive!
PS. if you make it through to that “build a PC” – make sure you wear an IPX shirt.
Alas, no...
You can’t really see the computer in the pic (it’s a bit small), and I didn’t get TeamIPX mentioned. I have my IPX jumper at home, but the photo was taken on a 39 degree day – I’m in shorts, t-shirt and bare feet for that extra classy look.
Oww LTmon

Thanks Justin, I’ll check out your build when I get time at work tomorrow (and find the issue). They’ve sent off my i5 as well, and the AMD prize should come in a few weeks.
