Yea you're all too late - those heatsinks are mine

The funny part is, Joe wasn't joking about the ice cream van - he stops right outside our office window.

Maybe I should just start slathering my computer in ice cream instead. Would make for a sweet mod...

yay, an international competition, though it would probably cost half the price of the heatsink just to send the package all the way to New Zealand :P

How about adding the contact information only after being chosen (for paranoid ppl like me)?

PS: Hooray Austria, hooray Noctua!

Well, It's a global contest. It'd be tough to roam the earth, clubbing the other applicants to death.
It would get quiet around here, too.
-Then there's that deadline thing... I would need to be some kind of psycho SantaClaus.
Still, the Noctua stuff is sweet, but I can't find any of the 12p fans in the US.
P.S. I thought posting that giant text a THIRD time might get me banned.

makes me wonder, how come Bittech competition doesn't require one to be a Bittech forumer to enter?
