    I think $4300 would be easily acheived using Phat's ideas :D
    But still, paying taxes on a prize? Is that some local texas law or something?

    Does anyone have a tape of the show that they can post here? I want to see it. (It reruns some day soon, I think).

    ask HK, Adam or Quack if their upload sites will accept a video so that you can upload it and let someone edit the video. Then it can be up to Zap wether or not he hosts it on his space?

    It's not outlook that's the problem it the POP3 server, they wern't made to carry that much data.

    Monolith might be able to help with the editing bit, I remember his 'starwars-boy' thing... so im guessing he has the right software to edit it and a heck of a a lot of bandwidth aswell! (if he'll host it?)

    What format is it in, hyjnx? Is it an Ati format like *.vcr or a general format (divx avi or mpeg)? If it's an avi, you could send it to me on MSN and I could edit it.
    (If it's an ati format, you could send it to me on MSN and I could watch it :p)

    I'm just quoting CrimsonSky over at [H]. I don't see any reason for him to lie about the figure (and seeing as he was at techtv prior to the contest), so I for one believe him.

    Personally I voted for Zap, and have the utmost respect for him, but his forum pimping and dissing the other contestants (atm remarks etc) were a bit naive in my opinion.

    That is great that he won the contest. He won a nice little prize. BTW the show was on today. The mod prize is about 20 minutes into the show. I was watching lastnight and just missed the mod contest but saw it today

    That tax figure sounds about right. Im not sure how it works across the pond, but anytime a major prize is received, be it money or material goods, it is taxed for its worth. Uncle Sam gets his share, always.

    Congrats on the win Zap.

    Thanks everyone.
    I have been basicly traveling since the show aired until just now.

    As far as selling the Laser, I won't be, as my parents own a retail scrapbook store (Rubber stamps, paper, etc)
    I will be housing it at their store, and make profit both from internet and local retail.
    I have no idea on pricing (I will figure that out, with perks for loyal bit-tech users)
    their website is: www.memorydepotonline.com

    Projects in line:
    -Faceplate and laser cut window for wife's PC
    -Build a mATX PC to just keep attached to the laser to run it independent of a normal PC
    -FINISH THE MEDIA PC!


    They tell the amount I won by here:

    I do have the video on my DVR so I will be getting clips up sometime soon.

    The software for the DIVX playes them a little too fast.
    I didn't write it, (It's in the noritake technical thread)
