P4 Tiny Fin competition - OVER - [Archive]

At the end of my P4 Tiny Fin 478 "review" I offer you the chance to win the cooler. Here's the question, and instructions, again:

Where does the name "Pokémon" come from?

The winner will be chosen at random on March the 18th (that's in 2 weeks time).

So... register here at the forums (if you haven't already) and post below... just a simple smiley post will do, or you could try to be a little more original and post something of some actual interest ;).

Then send an email to competition@techangel.co.uk containing your name, forums nick, and the answer!

Good luck to you all. :D

I've just sent you my answer, mrplow. I think it's the right one... (I hope so...)

I hope I win, I need a new HSF for my new P4 1.8 (like Gator :lol:)

Good luck to every one...

Damn these people who can afford the 1.8 chips.. :)

Mystique

04-03-2002, 18:52

wel... I really can't afford it right now, but in a couple of weeks... who knows...:D

It's a "project" I have in mind. Building a machine for me :o , not just for a friend.

I have to say I'm writing right now with my main (and unique) machine. It's a PIII 533, 192mb PC-133, 50Gb (40+10) and Abit Siluro GeForce2 MX400... Nothing really impressive, but it does the work right.

Any idea wot mobo you're going for?

(wondering if everyone is going for this MSI645Ultra) :D

Main thing about it is that it isn't a VIA chipset, and hopefully, there'll be no probs with Creative Soundblaster cards :) ;)

I don't have any idea because here (Spain) it's quite difficult to see good mobos (they're a bit difficult to get or you have to wait untill the shop gets some for you...)

VIA = KA KA
(when it comes to Creative Soundcard compatability)

Damn j00 st00pid KT7A-R :(

Now, the reviews on the MSI 645 have been nothing less than awesome...

Hope you have received my e-card with the answer =)

I currently have a Pentium 2 MMX 333 Mhz with 128 MB SDRAM and would like the chance to upgrade my computer. I think that having a good fan would help me towards having a better computer with my small budget. I am looking forward to assembling a Pentium 4 1.6A Northwood chip which I can overclock with a good fan. I am also planning to give my old computer to my local community where there are people in need of having their first computer. If I do win, please contact me back for additional information and thank you for your time in hosting this contest.
