Count me in. I have a question though;

I'm assuming this does not have to be a working computer. Nothing in the rules said it needed to have components inside however almost all the gallery shots have components. Also, one of the criteria we will be judged on is functionality, I hope this means functionality of the case, not the computer inside.

Just wanted to clear that up.

 Thanks

Looks like fun, I really like that it looks like they are giving things to 20 people.

Good job Shuttle on making the effort to include so many ideas.

looks fun...but, i'm all thumbs at handicraft

markkleb...you should participate this ...

 Thank you very much  Unicorn for your confidence.

One thing I really enjoy is sharing my ideas with others, (I secretly hope someone will take one of my ideas and improve on it)

One of the cool things about contests is you never know what the company is looking for,

EVERYONE go for it, give it a try.

Gametech,

Where are the gallery photos to which you are referring?  My interest has officially been sparked. 

Thanks!

here is the link.Just click on the Case Design Gallery button,

There are some great ideas there. 

I don't want to sound negative but shouldn't this kinda thing be free? You are using up your own time and talent to create something new, exciting and functional. Then you know they are likely going to take your design.

You have to pay $10 wow?!!

I fold for my Grandmothers, my cousin Mike, Uncles Bob and Carl, Aunt Barb, my wife's Grandmother, Aunts Linnea and Alma and Uncle Myrel who all died from Cancer and my dad who has survived

That was my first thought till I read the contest info. the $10 ($5 at Newegg Lan) to cover shipping to you.

Well I just modded one for a guy who wanted it mostley plexy glass lol, if they send me the case woot!!! wonder if it is full computer or just case...

But I will say I am very interested in this project for one of the ways i make a living is custom modding cases... So hope to see you guys in

Yours BlueBalzz

There are no country rules mentioned, but since Canada is mentioned in the PDF file I assume it's open to Canadians as well.

Anyone know if the $10 shipping fee applies to Canada as well? I'd hate to fax the form in and then get a $50 charge on my credit card. 

I sent Shuttle an email and the reply I got back said: " For Canada the fee will be $25 (includes $50 value aluminum case cover and shipping). Waiting on another reply to see if it's the whole case or just a case cover they're sending.

I received a reply and what Shuttle will be sending participants is a case cover and not the entire case

Maybe they should rephrase that "Shuttle will provide the G2 case to all participants" line. I think everyone is under the impression that  they will be receiving a complete case.

So if they are only sending a case cover I guess it doesn't need to be a functional PC.
 

MMMM, Kinda havign seconds thought's. dont knwo if i want to enter if it is only the case cover ? I mean i have to build the rest of the case in order to compleate my designs......

Has any one recived any thing from shuttle ? ??? I have two other people I made aware of the contest and they are waiting on more details.. so idk have fun and i will check in later

no one knows wtf is being sent, so i am having second thoughts about entering a case contest where all i am gonna get is a soda can 3 side panel cover to go on top of a case.....

well to be more clear it sounds like this: you enter a antec case mod contest, your pay thier fee and get your side panel from one of thier cases, no u have to build the rest of the case.............. because all they sent was a side panel ??  If they send u just the case im fine or the frame for the case even better. but to send me just a panle from the case doesnt make sence to enter... now rules arnt that clear do I have to make a working computer or just make then a badd a** panel with cool tweeker toys...

so i will ask agian if any one has recived the "g2 case" yet and if so what did they send you to mod?

Did anyone here go to the NewEgg LANfest2K7 and notice what Shuttle was providing?

edit: just read the press release and saw this: 

Case covers are available at the Shuttle booth at the LANfest event.

 I was told they would be editing the Shuttle will provide the G2 case to all participants wording on the Contest Summary and Rules page. Of course that was two days ago and they haven't changed it yet.

OK have u entered the contest, I talked wiht a few freinds about just getting the "cover" if i enter and am having serious doubts on if i should enter the contest or not. reason for my doubts is it takes time to mod a case and make it look professional in the first place, even if u have a full case to start with it takes around two weeks to do it right. now that is if you have the frame for the case. but if all you have is a cover, U have to then design a frame, make a front panel, rear panel ( with all those lovley cut outs to match the mobo you are going to use). to me and how detailed I get, I cant take away from my clientell and mod a case from scratch. with a 1 in lets say 20mill chance of winning a computer system.

hopefully some one can shead soem light on what they are really sending........................

You 2 guys seem to be making this much harder than it is. Im pretty sure Shuttle is not gonna send out one of their $300 cases with PS and mobo for $10.

Most likely what they are doing is sending a shell for you to mod into whatever style you want. Than they want you to take 4 picts of the shell and enter it into the contest.

This seems to be a pretty easy way to compete without having to buy a case and all the hardware inside as well.

Received an email from eWiz today advertising the E FOR ALL show at the LA Convention Center which starts tomorrow. Here's what the ad says:

"We will also be the  official drop off point for the Shuttle Case Design Contest. Drop $5 for the application fee and we'll give you a free case."

 So if they're not giving a case then why do they continue to advertise that they do. Their contest page still says the G2 case will be supplied.
