End table mod? Psh. So are you not getting a prize now? That would be very lame if that was the case.

End table mod? Psh. So are you not getting a prize now? That would be very lame if that was the case.
According to Dell, they are shipping me one as well.
Congrats on getting that bad boy, too bad you didnt win.Quote:

I can see it now! Someone breaks into my house and steals my 30" Dell LCD but forgets to steal my top of the line End Table! Just kidding, who wouldn't want a stylish end table like that? Congrats Tech on a great mod!
LOL!!!
OMG! That was funny! Perfect timing!
Hehehehehe....
How does something that looks like an underwear drawer compare to TD's mod? A tie? It wasn't even close.
Are you telling me that end table won a 30" LCD? You have got to be Fing kidding me. That was the worst contest Ive ever seen.
heheeh... ok ok, settle down guys! I have had long discussions about this issue elsewhere. The lowdown was that the person that submitted the end table was a professor at a college. He requested that his students go out and register on the forum and vote for his rig.
Nothing wrong with that, per the rules. I've had my discussion with him both on the forum and in PM's @ the Dell forum. He knows where I stand (and so does everyone else for that matter!). While he "won" the contest, the means by which he achieved the win are what bother me. Water under the bridge...
As such, the next contest from Dell will likely have some changes to keep things like this from happening. It's all an evolution, and they (Dell) learned a ton from this contest.
It was drama, intrigue, suspense, disinformation,... everything you pay for from a good movie! ;) Just not what you want in a modding contest!
;)
So, "yeah"... he won the contest. Fair and square. But, due to a mistake in posting the winner (me initially, then him) they awarded both of us a monitor.

Where should I email my shipping address for your old one? :p
Awesome Tech-Daddy, I'm pretty sure everyone here felt you should have won anyways. That 30" Dell is going to be sweet. I'm sure you've got plans already in the works on how you're going to mod that sucker.
Congrats! :)
Tech, did you get your 30" Dell yet? If so can we see a few pictures of it? I'm jealous! Not really, I'm good with my 20" Samsung for now!

I must say though, the 30" monitor is a beautiful thing... but I have need of other types of equipment (computer and painting) so I sold it to a friend of mine up in Canada that work on huge, hi res photos in RAW. So.... I played with it for one night... gamed for a few hours, drooled on my keyboard. Then I packed it up so that I would not become ADDICTED to it!
I shipped it out today, so there is no going back!
I'll miss that thing, but I really needed some other equipment more than I needed a 30" monitor. Would have felt really bad listening to my daughter complaining about her computer when I would be staring at that work of art. So, it is headed towards a better home.
Enjoy the pic... I certainly enjoyed playing with it for a few hours!
Nice! :)
To bad you couldn't keep it! I know I keep thinking it would be nice to have a monitor that big, but my 20" is plenty big enough for now. In a few more years when my eyes get worse I'll think about something bigger. By then maybe a 30" will be in my price range. Thanks for the picture!
OK, here's a few things I noticed about your Dell 30" PIC.
Your on a Low Cal Diet and you drink Sprite.. And most importantly Your Boss PC isn't looking to happy tucked away like that. Need to make a nice Computer Stand like they have cars on at the car shows.
BTW: I like your new Site where you have your PICS. Nice and Organized..
Just 1 question.. Did this monitor eventually fall in your Workarea PIC?

Low-CARB! ;) Diabetics need to regulate their carb intake so as to regulate the sugars floating around inside. Carbs turn into sugar after digestion.
And that's not a Sprite... it's a beer! Kronnenberg1664 to be precise! ;) Pretty difficult to get over here @ my house!
And "No..." the monitor has not fallen! It is right where I want it, and I can move it out of the way as needed when not in use.
Are you talking about the green bottle behind the left corner of the monitor? I see the monitor in your shop is on an arm. Pretty good idea if your working on computers! You can move it up and out of the way!
Didn't notice the arm.. Yea thats a good idea.. Its just amazing how much gear you have in your shop.. No wonder you turn out these works of art.. My Shoebox consist of a Dremel, Jigsaw, Files, and small workbench that is always in the way no matter where I unfold it.. LOL..
I really need to clean it up... I have crap everywhere right now!
After the next mod... I will need to clean it up, just to think straight!
;)
