Only one guess please!!! If I think you even remotely made other guesses you will not win!!! I hope this is okay mods? If not just lock or delete the post but remember you can win too!!! Contest end this Sunday when I say it does...lol...because I do not know my plan for Sunday yet. Good luck and may the luckiest speedster win!!! BTW - The prize will be equilavent to $10 and I would like to get a minimum of 5-10 entries! HINT------------->>>>>>>>>>>> shipping was $65.00 US. All guesses must be in US dollars by the way. Good luck! PS - This is still pending mods approval. I will post in this thread again to let you know if the battle is on or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddog00 Posted February 19, 2004 CID Share Posted February 19, 2004 CA3LE please check your PM box I have info there for you! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA3LE Posted February 20, 2004 CID Share Posted February 20, 2004 Sounds great to me... ~~ I will work on a guess myself I will have to re-transfer the forum database over to the new server... (I am in the middle of a full server transfer right now... it's a bitch because I have SOOOOOO much data besides the data you all see here.) if I don't... all these posts we are doing right now will disappear!

Swimmer Posted February 20, 2004 Author CID Share Posted February 20, 2004 Ok I have a number but the prices are based upon OEM products for the hard drive and os. Assuming that you bought OEM for these products I think that I am close. Also you list round cables?? SATA is a round cable...I am guessing it is the floppy/ide you are refering to and that the you are running the drives on the same ide channel. The only other product that I had a hard time finding was the 12bay case. I found an 11 bay case on Kingwin's website so that is what I went with. My guess is $1792.00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ice Posted February 20, 2004 CID Share Posted February 20, 2004 I'll guess 1500.00. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sin0cide Posted February 20, 2004 CID Share Posted February 20, 2004 S++T this better be like the price is right... closest without going over I say a rounded $800.00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimmer Posted February 20, 2004 Author CID Share Posted February 20, 2004 lol we will see... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddog00 Posted February 20, 2004 CID Share Posted February 20, 2004 Great to hear the BATTLE IS ON BTW I edited my post above to say you can go over the purchase price and still win. Obviously if someone guesses exactly how much I paid they become the instant winner. Please don't edit it a thousand times to see if you hit the number...hehehe. And I will not tell you whether or not any bids that were already placed hit exactly. Well yes I will . I see 3 guesses and 2 of them are under and 1 is over...... man I am making this to easy. Now any post below this one counts towards the contest so bid again if you have already posted above or before this post. Thanks.....have fun....and good luck!!! I will frequently be stopping in to see if we have an instant winner! Thanks for the go ahead CA3LE (and posts please don't disappear because I know for a fact I could never remember all this stuff to post it again....LMFAO) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA3LE Posted February 20, 2004 CID Share Posted February 20, 2004 If it was like the price is right... I would be like "$1.00!" Since this isn't a game show.. I guess I will throw a price out there... I will guess with that video card I will guess... $860 I have the Radeon 9800 Pro.... best video card I have have seen ATI rocks! - Damon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddog00 Posted February 20, 2004 CID Share Posted February 20, 2004 Okay the first clue is the cost of the video card. The card itself retails for $499.00US. Best card on the market right now that it why it is so damn expensive. But that is not necessarily what I paid for the card because it was configured into the total cost of my black baby! If you need to modify your guesses do it after you factor these clues in. Make sure you guys look at the clues I have given so far: 1) 2 of the first 3 guesses were too low while one was too high. That would give you a price range of $1,500-$1,792. 2) The video card retails for $499US but that is not necessarily what I paid for it! I will give clues as I deem necessary to home you guys in to the target! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA3LE Posted February 20, 2004 CID Share Posted February 20, 2004 1654... lets try that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimmer Posted February 21, 2004 Author CID Share Posted February 21, 2004 OK $1637 I dont think you go the card for free.... I hope. IF you did please hook me up with one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddog00 Posted February 21, 2004 CID Share Posted February 21, 2004 Excellent guesses guys but no instant winner unfortunately Good news is I will give one more clue tomorrow night here in the thread that will help you immensely! After that the very next price (if you want to change what your current bid is) will be your final answer. HAHA kinda sounds like Regis Philbin...lol. Then at a random time on Sunday I will come to this thread and announce a victor. I have no idea what time it will be because anytime is fair game after Saturday 12 midnight EST I will try to get the best and last clue up before 6pm EST tomorrow so that will give you guys pleanty of time to fire up the brain cells (unless you have had a few) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sin0cide Posted February 21, 2004 CID Share Posted February 21, 2004 ok I guess 1700 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddog00 Posted February 22, 2004 CID Share Posted February 22, 2004 Okay I am sorry I am a little late but had to wait for CA3LE to get the new server up so I could get on the forums Hope all went well! Last clue: Since the are abour 4 people doing this I will narrow the range down to about $90. Okay taking into account all bids placed so far The following range of $1701-1791 including both the end amounts. More info is that the price is not $1701 or $1791 so that will narrow it even farther. Make your last guess count because there is a smaller price range now so everyone has a better chance of winning. I will try and wait a longer Sunday to determine the winner because of the swithching of servers and forum access. Thanks and may the best testmynetter win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So i put them in a hat and let my curious dog pick one out of the hat. I think I will go give him a bone now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
