Now is a desperate time for the rebelion...


Hi everyone.

I'm the creator the Millennium Falcon PC computer mod.

http://www.techtv.com/graphics/thescreensavers/3527531.jpg http://www.techtv.com/graphics/thescreensavers/3527538.jpg


They are having a mod contest over on TechTV (http://www.techtv.com/screensavers) and I'm one of the 4 finalists! Now I need your votes to help me win. The
Falcon will be featured on ScreenSavers on Monday the 22nd, then voting will begin on the 25th and end on the 26th.

Don't let the evil military with their AmmoPC or the repungnant A.I. of the matrix win! Support the Rebel Alliance and vote for the Falcon!

May I count on your support?

May the force be with you...

You've got my vote. :)

P.S. I think I'll move this over to the OOC forum so that it gets more exposure too.

EDIT: Voting details:
The winning mod project will be decided by an online vote on the TSS website beginning Thursday, Sept. 25, at 8 p.m. Eastern, and ending on Friday, Sept. 26, at 3 p.m. Eastern.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

Oh my sweet lord I WANT one :cry That is amazing!

[Zasz Grimm]

it's better than my PC! JEBUS!

You got my vote.

[AmazonBabe]

That's AWESOME!

You definitely have my vote as well! :rollin

[Figrin D'an]

Awesome. :)
I watch TechTV a fair amount, and am more than familar with The Screen Savers show.

You've got my vote, easily. I still say that's the coolest PC mod I've ever seen.

[Mu Satach]

Sweeeeet...

[Jhoram Hyde]

Awesome Job. The matching form of detail and function is incredible. Ya got my vote. :)

[JediKnight0]

Thanks for the support everyone!!!

So... I have one more question if no one minds. I'm new to the online Star Wars community...

I posted the same type of message to the forums at starwars.com and got the posts locked & deleted as SPAM. For the life of me, I don't get it.

Did I really do anything wrong by asking for help? Are they really that sensitive there?

Thanks again. I'll post the link to the voting site when it goes up on Thursday.

[Ryla Relvinian]

That's because we are nice. And we also don't have squads of lawers just itching to sue people. ;)

[DarthHERA]

that is pretty amazing.

*ties string on finger to remember to vote*

[Figrin D'an]

Somehow, it doesn't surprise me that they deleted your post(s) at the starwars.com forums. Oh well...

Did you submit your information to TheForce.net, too? This seems like the kind of thing that they would jump on to put up on their main site, and their forums have thousands of regular members.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

Mebbe try CoruscantCity.Net as well...? We have a lot of posters who post at this board and that one, and they might be receptive as well.

[Kelt Simoson]

Yeah, got my vote to :)

[Crystal]

I love that thing.. ever since I first saw a picture of it I've wanted one.. I'm voting for you :D

[Park Kraken]

Could you make a Imperial Star Destroyer PC Mod instead?

[JediKnight0]

Thanks for all the great suggestions... I'll go post something on those boards right now...

As for the star destroyer... check out this guy's work-in-progress here (http://www.overclockers.com.au/~bluesmurf/)

[JediKnight0]

*looks at the mod speechless*

Where do you live again?

[Figrin D'an]

I... uh... voted a few times. :mischief

[Lilaena De'Ville]

Voted!!! :D:thumbup

[Eris Alexiel]

I voted a few times too :angel

[Marcus Telcontar]

I said it before when you first posted that mod and I'll say it again now... that is simply the best case mod I've ever seen. Just tooo cool and it get my vote

[Ryla Relvinian]

Voted. :) Let's hope you win this thing.

Where do you live again?

I live in Sunnyvale, CA, USA. That's in Silicon Valley, for those who don't know :D

Thanks everyone for all the support. When I originally built the mod back in April/May, I got a good deal of support from the other case-modders. Now, a lot of modders are trying to put the case down calling it (and I quote) "ghey".

Every vote you give me is a vote against those people. If I win, me & the case will be on TechTV Monday. I'd love for that to happen if for no other reason than to stick it to those people who insult the case and me. Star Wars rocks.

[Figrin D'an]

If you win and get on the show, you'll have to give us promo... tell everyone to check out the boards. ;)

[JediKnight0]

I've heard from others who have been on the show they frown on "plugs" like that on the air.

But if they let me, I'll certainly mention this board and the support I got.

Remember, less than 4 hours left for voting. The dark side is strong with the others...

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

i voted ^_^

[Warlock]

Me too :) Good luck. Wear a SW-fans.net t-shirt when you're on the show :D

[Park Kraken]

I voted until my computer pratically froze up, I think like 25 times total.... Good Luck! :mischief

Ah I used to live in San Jose. Not a bad area. :mneh If you like high rent. :)

Much good luck wished on you!

[Lady Vader]

I voted! :D

...and voted, and voted, and voted, and voted, and voted... ^_^;

[Preacher Blake]

Or what you could do is just have swfans up on your monitor when they do the show. :angel

[Lady Vader]

YES!! Brilliant idea!!! DOOOOO IIIIIIT! :rollin:crack:rollin

[Hayes Muirso]

it says voting is over... so who won!!

[Lilaena De'Ville]

Yes I wanna know who woooonnnnn ^_^;

[Akamu Lucas]

We will find out on Monday, I guess...........

*:cry cos I didn't get to vote*

[Rage]

SUNNYVALE??? Whoa, not that far from me! Good luck on this thing, you definatley deserve to win! :D

[Azhure Darkstone]

Voted again. Dang you live too far away...not that I was planning anything. :angel

[JediKnight0]

Alas, I did not win.

I'm still not certain who it was, except that it wasn't me (for those who care, I'm 90% certain it was the AmmoPC).

Thanks for all the help, it definately was appreciated.

:mad I think the voting could have been done better. As it seems, people could vote multiple times, and that doesn't seem right. I have a vague feeling that because I didn't sit there for 19 hours clicking "submit", I lost. :mad

Oh well. I'll live to fight another day.

Thanks again.

[Zasz Grimm]

That sucks man.

You should have won.

It was an excellent mod.

[Lariat Van-Metzger]

Too bad... but you're the winner in our eyes (however small a consolation that may be!) :)

[Lilaena De'Ville]

Oh no, that sucks! :(

I really did think it was the best out of all the others. *plots to go and destroy the Ammo Mod in the night* >D

[Diego Van Derveld]

If it wasn't you, I hope it was the ammo box. Both were excellent.

[Azhure Darkstone]

< hugz >

Yours kicked butt, and you don't need to win to know that.
Congrats on your achievements either way.

[Lady Vader]

And the results are in: http://www.techtv.com/screensavers/supergeek/story/0,24330,3536290,00.html

The way I see it is if you take away the lights on the ammo box, it's just another box. The Falcon was different as it wasn't just your average rectangular case (and it didn't need any flashy lights to win).

As far as I'm concerned, the Falcon won the contest, and nothing else matters. :)

And next time (and there will be a next time), you can kick some major booty with your next out-of-this-world mod (hmmm... see if you can find one of the AT-AT toys :D)
