WORKSPACE SHOW OFF CONTEST

Move over complicated contests which take more time and energy than most people can invest. This is your chance to win exciting goodies from SVG Tech. Sweep the dust off all the tools on your workspace and make it worthy of a show off. Post pictures here. That's it.

Wondering what is a workspace? Any space which you generally use as a working area (Eg: table, bed, floor, etc). Do not ask me to define work please, define it yourself (gaming, homework, office work, etc). You need not have an industry standard work bench and tools, just show-off whatever you have. You can show off your computer table or your study area or even your cooking area (in case you are a chef). Be creative, and have fun making your work setup look the best.

Rules:

Post a picture of your workspace with your username along with date written on a piece of paper, which should be clearly visible in the picture.
Only one entry (one picture only) allowed per user. In case of more than one picture posted, we will.judge on the basis of the first pic.
Picture should be clear and should preferably have a minimum resolution of 1280x960 and maximum image size 3 megabytes. Better borrow a decent camera before posting.
Your entry should not violate any forum rule. A clear verification image is also important. Read the guidelines below.
Rules and contest conditions are subject to change at any time without prior notice. We will do our best to be fair to the contestants.

Judging and winners:

The winners will be declared sometime in May. Contest closing time will be updated soon.
Admins and mods will decide the winners. Our decision will be final.

Terms and conditions:

Contest open only for residents of India.

Read the guidelines in the next post.

First prize: SVG Tech HOC 40 Closed Loop Water Cooler

Clean up your workspace, take out your cameras and get clicking. May the best workspace win.

Cheers,

ThinkDigit Forum Staff

Why watermark on the Entry pic? (This is optional)
So, that someone doesn't use your pic to participate in such a competition organised somewhere else. It is your wish to watermark. This is optional.

Why verification pic with User ID, Date and "For ThinkDigit contest use" message? (COMPULSORY) (Pic angle can be different)
Simply. For verification. We don't want to see cases of plagiarism and useless accusations. I had seen a hilarious case in some other forum. Don't want that kind of stuff to happen here.

Example of a correct entry.

@ico: You call that a workspace!! :/ (Wires can be made a little less cluttered. And do you browse forum while standing?

)

Anyway... I will look if I can post a pic! :))

This is the first ever contest I think exclusively for forum members!! Nice! :doublethumb:

Vyom said:

Lol. it ain't that up the wall

I could view it nicely while sitting.

Compared to that I live in a frickin' cave.

bump.

This is up now.

*www.thinkdigit.com/forum/chit-chat/155090-entry-thread-workspace-showoff-contest.html

Ask questions only here. Don't clutter that thread.

This is a workspace showoff contest. It could be your office or study room as well. am I right?

ya.

One more thing - we are NOT looking at who has the most uber rig, expensive gadgets or whatever.

Just present what you have properly. If you put in the effort, you'll be rewarded.

Gotta find that duster now. :/

Re: Entry Thread - Workspace Showoff Contest

@Tenida

put up the katrina poster and you will win dude

Nice! will put my entry in the thread few days from now

One thing about these clean-up contests is that even if you lose, you still win.

Gotta tidy up my study.

Yehhh that's so cool guys., i like this contest., i'm going to post my rig pics too...

Remember that you need not post only rigs. Can be anything.

Again read the rules. Rules are at the 2nd post of this thread : *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/contests/...um-workspace-showoff-contest.html#post1620287

Yes every single thing is important.

TDF UserID, Date, "For TDF Contest Use" sentence and WATERMARK of TDF UserID in first Image.

Consider yourself lucky to be pointed out of your errors, we are not exactly warning every participant for any of their errors, but automatically disqualifying them or cutting their marks.

P.S.: Every little thing counts.

nice entries so far, interesting but deleted comments on "nice hand-writing"

write it out _very_ neatly

looks like some entries still need to read the rules before posting

is my entry correct?

Watermark in the entry pic is your choice.

But "For TDF Contest use" in the second pic is important.

Pramudit's entry is also not fine.

Ok will edit my second pic tonight for sure, need my dad's BB Torch for camera as i lost my phone

I have a really simple and clean black workspace..

.. Will that work here ?

I have deleted the entries of DesiJatt, Pramudit and d3p.

Please read this.

That's right. It's just that we pointed out errors of yours.

But we won't do that every time.

So be carefull everyone and check Rules before uploading your pics.

If your answer is YES, you are always eligible..!!

@ico, I don't think we should delete wrong entries..!! It's just that they'll be disqualified. What are your views..??

This. If you can't comprehend simple English, then you don't deserve to win either.

Pretty much. Just making a note here.

Entered! Have a look all.
lots of cleaning done

the open spaces are for my logitech speakers for movie watching.

What if people have two workplaces?

Re-entered, now complying with all the guidelines. Have a look all!

@thetechfreak, great workplace you got there! Simple and elegant.

Sarath said:

Post only one. The one which is more unique or humorous or anything that gives a better choice.

@desiJATT well thats all I have for now. stopped gaming. laptop suffices for everything I do. printer also needed as dad needs to take prints regularly. mouse for Angry Birds when I play.
Your setup is also nice

Holy crap! I just googled his name. :shock:

It should be :

I'd shred his n*ts if he'd plagarized my work.

Good thing TDF is asking for proof

Is it necessary that the date mentioned on the verification paper be the same date we post it on?

I'm moving currently & if I enter now I won't be able to enter once again when I'm settled at my new place. Right?

I've already shot a picture of my current work-space according to the guidelines. But I plan to post it later in case I'm not able to enter with my new workspace. Can I do so?

If not, I'll enter with the current workspace.

@a_k_s_h_a_y, great workplace you got there! A geeks heaven!

Now what's this

It is their work space.see first post any work space allowed. Moderators probably wont participate as they will do the judging.

From the looks of it looks like a pretty awesome stuff mounted inside a wooden chassis having motors mounted for operating the conveyor belt using a 12V supply (adapter?) and/or battery. A digital multimeter points out it's being tested side by side.

I so wanna be there right now checking out this ace machine.

You may seek the help of a live model.

Got sometime to take pics of my classic rig .....not much to say about mine 2 pictures worth 2 thousand words

Atlast I suceeded to enter into the contest.
Great thanks to my cousin for borrowing me his Camera.

oh wow gg some hilarious entries there

^^ gg! Great Going?

The entry thread has turned into a RIG Pictures thread (strictly my opinion). Some posts don't even show full workspace.

Only 16 entries, common guys this forum can do a lot better

Even i'm surprised, coz there are lot more entries are missing. I mean they have not entered.

I guess people are not aware of this contest. This contest need more promotion.

I think people havent yet entered. There are still almost 3 weeks left. Loads of time :wink:

Show them the goodies once again

Is there any rules, Mods & Admins won't participate ??

Yes..

Opps...terrific rules IMO.

Bump !!!

d3p said:

Last 12 Days to Go, c'mon Guys this Forum can do a lot better

Finally entered the contest.
I hope my pics comply with the rules.

Reported Post by d3p

Re: Reported Post by d3p

rhitwick said:

Yes. Do not post queries at Entry Thread. Use that only for posting Entry's.

This closes on May 11 - 10pm IST.

So, hurry up!!!

May 11? But your last post said it's gonna be May 14th? Why are you guys closing it 3 days before it actually was to be closed?

Read the first page.

Code:

Rules and contest conditions are subject to change at any time without prior notice.

God damn it...then I have to really hurry on 11th, assembling the PC, clicking pictures and entering in the contest again...Hope my cabinet comes on 11th morning

Welcome change in the deadline! :lol:

All the best to all participant.

Any predictions for the 3 places? Post ur predictions.

thetechfreak said:

No. They changed the timings in the last minute. They wrote that "the contest ends May 14th, and winners will be announced shortly after". This was their exact wordings in that post. Very unhappy about this change. 3 days? What benefit would those 3 days give to the moderators, judges or the sponsors? I am not upset by any means, but still I feel like questioning.

I am still unsure that my setup will get completed by 11th May, it might get delayed by 1 day

Hope it doesn't.

Contest is running for more than 1month. Still you guys running out of time?

Well I understand the change of closing date but we really needed to do that.

Because by any means we need to submit the results within 15th to Digit.

So we don't want to be unfair while hurrying up in last minute.

Hope you all understand the situation.

Best of luck to all the participants out there

Your reason is also justified krishnandu, but I so really wanted to re enter the contest on 12th, that's why I requested it to be open for 3 more days.

What a relief. Will enter on 12th May probably

oh well. So results what time & date? 14th night itself?

^^
Not on 14th, Krishnandu.Sarkar has mentioned above that all the entries would be submitted to digit by 15th. So, result will be out probably by 18th.

Entered!Hava look.Hope you guys like 8... ;-)

Will enter at the last moment. Lots of problems creeping up. First, the computer table got delayed by the dealer, then, had to send my BenQ G2222HDL back for replacement. Have clicked some photos as a backup, if my table and monitor couldn't make it till monday, and will upload them at the last moment

barely couple of days to go. enter quickly everyone

Either your room is too big or PC is too small..

Nipun said:

Its a mix of both

The room is big, the PC table is kind of small, that's why I ordered a new one, but the vendor screwed it up and my Monitor also got exchanged, so hard luck. But still I have re entered with better pics than before. Let's hope the best

So what exact time will this end? And results?

everyone please vote for your choice of winners here : *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/workspace-contest-voting/157002-contest-voting-thread.html

and please read through the rules

Vote Calculator - Home

simple calculator I made for counting votes, copy paste the votes like this:

sample_user1
sample_user2
sample_user3
sample_user4
sample_user2
sample_user1

where,

sample_user1
sample_user2
sample_user3

is one vote and,

sample_user4
sample_user2
sample_user1

is another...

^wooh nice... that was fast, are you taking bug reports? the space before the name is removed while listing the name, but still gets counted with votes

also it just gives the number of votes right, not the order of votes ?

sleeker than an xl sheet

good work hsr...

It shows total.

IMO the contest as well as the related threads were supposed to be closed by now.I don't understand the policy of Public Voting, where the final decision will be made based on the Moderators & Admins likings.

It won't be decision of mods and admins' likings, rather equal weightage to both so that no body cries foul and the contest is "public" in true sense.

No offense. Going by the words, mentioned in the first post of this thread.
