[Winner Chosen][Give Away] Valentine's Day Rootz Shaped Box



It was an extremely tough choice, but congratulations are in order for imnuts!  We can't wait to see what you accomplish with the RootzBox!




OK RootzWiki, it’s time for another RootzWiki contest, but this time we’re gonna do something a little more awesome. In celebration of Valentine’s day, we’re going to show a dev or themer some love. If you’re a dev/themer with some current work on our site, you have a chance to win the ultimate personal computing apparatus: The RootzBox.

“But what is the RootzBox?” Yeah, you know you’re asking it. Well, the RootzBox is a custom built PC (with RootzWiki branding, of course) with the power to slay an angry Greek god. Because every good dev/themer needs a good box to do all their rootz on. And a box of this sorts can have much devving/themeing performed on it. To top it off, because we like openness, we have technically and carefully designed this machine to run as many mainline operating systems as possible; including but not limited to: many Linux distributions, Mac OSX Lion 10.7.2, Windows 7/8 and even DOS(maybe)!!! So let’s show our love in the only way you’re supposed to on Valentines Day; by buying expensive things for the ones you love.

So here’s the catch. If you’re a dev/themer who has work of theirs posted on RootzWiki, we want to see your current box. That’s right, the one you’re using for all your dev/themeing work. Even if it’s that old 386 that smells like stale mustard you got back in 1986. We don’t care what type of box, whether it be PC, Mac, or Linux So take a picture of your box and send it into us, and we’ll pick the one we feel deserves our RootzBox love.

The RootzBox will contain the following equipment:

So if you want a taste of that goodness, here’s what you need to do. Write down your username (the name you’re known by here on RootzWiki) on a piece of paper and hold it in front of the camera when you snap the photo of your rig. We just want to make extra sure you didn’t just grab a picture of someone else’s box off the interwebz. Once you have the picture taken, head on over to the contest thread in our forums, and post the picture in there. Good luck! Here’s a quick recap of the rules:
  • You must be a dev/themer with content currently available on RootzWiki
  • The picture of your box MUST have your dev/themer name in it, no exceptions
  • You can’t have won any RootzWiki prizes before
  • Your current box can run ANY OS, we don’t care.
Head on over to the contest thread to submit your entry. May the Best Dev/Themer win!!!
