    Where Do You EggXpert?

    Plantronics

    Where do you EggXpert?
    Show us and you could win a Plantronics headset!

    Plantronics Headsets


    Six Plantronics Gaming Headsets are Up For Grabs!

    We've got six (6) sets of premium-quality gaming headsets to give away today EggXperts. We figured the best way to give 'em away would be to have our loyal posters show us exactly where they would be using them!

    Entering to win a headset is simple -- just snap a photo of your workstation, study, gaming lair, garage or whatever location you usually log on to EggXpert from. We're encouraging EggXperts to pose in the photo personally, but it's not required.
    Upload the photo to the internets, post it on this thread, and you're in! (See below for a step-by-step guide.)

    Keep in mind that this is a family-oriented website, so please follow these photo-taking guidelines to make sure your entry is legitimate:

    • No nudity, whether it be posters, desktop images, or you. Especially if it's you.
    • No violent, obscene, pornographic, racist, sexist, or otherwise disturbing material.
    • Please remove or cover up any visible personal information such as e-mail addresses, phone numbers, home addresses, etc.
    • No drugs, images of drugs or drug use, or drug paraphernalia.
    • Photos will be reviewed regularly by EggXpert Staff, and it is at our sole descretion to determine if a photo is appropriate. Only users whose images have been approved by EggXpert Staff will be entered into the drawing for the Plantronics Headsets.


    Posting Your Photo
    Here's a tutorial for posting a photo here on EggXpert.

    We used snapfish for the photo hosting in this example, but any free service will do, such as photobucket, shutterfly, imageshack, etc.


    Step 1.
    Upload your photo to your photo-hosting website.

    Plantronics Headsets


    Step 2.
    Confirm the upload, and edit the pic if that's an option.
    If you can resize, shoot for a 600-pixel width so the photo will fit on the EggXpert forum.

    Plantronics Headsets


    Step 3.
    View the photo and get a link to its location. Some sites display
    the link for you, but if it's not there just right-click and "Copy Image Location" (FireFox).
    IE users, right-click the photo, go to "properties", and copy it from "Address (URL)".

    Plantronics Headsets


    Step 4. Go to EggXpert, and go to this thread. Already here? Great!
    Hit the "reply" button, and click the little tree icon to insert/edit an image.
    Paste your photo's URL into the "Image URL" box.

    Plantronics Headsets


    Step 5. If you didn't re-size your photo, and it's clipping the page after you post it,
    try editing the dimensions. 600 pixel width is good... remember, if you shrink the
    width, shrink the height by the same % or your pic will get squished!

    Plantronics Headsets


    Step 6. Check out your photo on EggXpert!
    And cross your fingers that you win a headset...

    This is sort of a temporary spot for me. I'm currently living with my fiance in her parents' house so this will change when we get our own place, hopefully sometime soon.

    A nice little custom built computer. ^.^

    Reasons to get Windows 7:
    Snap to maximize windows
    Formatting huge hard drives
    It's Vista but better

    The ASUS M4A78-E sucks, don't get it.

    Re: Where Do You EggXpert?

    I have a selection of pictures, seeing as my "workspace" is so vast

    My chair, and lower half of my desk, this includes my mouspad (Dimension 8100 model) and my chair (Grand Am 1990 model) and desktop (athlon 64x2 4200+ model)

    Next we have a kinda dim photo showing my unique hanging items, and Eggxpert on my screen

    Upper half of my desk, from left to right, Compaq Ipaq in the process of being upgraded from a 700mhz celeron to a 1ghz pIII, My workstation (specs to come soon) and a still working Comapq Contura 4\25 laptop... (notice the Ubuntu stickers hanging from my external zip drive)

    My case with the "casemod gone bad"... this includes an Athlon 64x2 4200+, and Artic Cooling, Artic Freezer 64PRO HSF, Mood lighting, 2x160gb hdds, 1x80gb hdd, and 2x160gb externals (behind the case) it also includes a famous "Designed for Windows 98" sticker and an "intel pentium II" sticker (not shown)



    Edit: re-sized your images, hope you don't mind!

    Well, here is me.  The first is my apartment setup, then there is me, and i carry my little archos with the internet to hop on during boring classes.

    Clicking makes them bigger. 

    That headset i am wearing is a cheap set of platronics i got when they were on the shell shocker deal.  I use it with my TeamSpeak server to play games with my brother.

    Also, if you look close to my desk picture, you may find some really random stuff on it.  (hint: there is a rubber duck)
