I too am disappointed one of us had to drop out due to unforeseen circumstances. It's unfortunate for all involved. Like DB said, this being the first contest of its kind, a little leniency shouldn't have been too much to ask. But if the law is laid down and the deadline can't be extended a few days for whatever reason, then we just have to accept it and move on. And when we all get together for next year's comp we'll know to incorporate a longer build time and plan for this contingency. Maybe work an extension into the deadlines just in case. With such tight time constraints you KNOW Murphy's Law will rear its ugly head and wreak havoc. Should just call it "Modders' Law" lol.

Well, this sucks. Regardless, I would like to thank BoxGods for all the hard work he put in trying to make this thing a reality (not to mention with a deadline). I agree with Stormbringer. Without the restrictions, you can make this thing even more awesome for a good cause. Also, the other top 5 put in a lot of time and hard work into making their designs original, whereas I took a cool idea and just sort of re-imagined it. I was surprised that I even made it into the top 30. Anyways, it was fun while it lasted! I'm sure BoxGods will do an excellent job with it and blow the socks off of everyone at Childs Play!

Well, it happens. Good luck to the other 4 entrants out there (I forgot to put that in my last post.) Is there any way I could see the final product of this though? I would love to see it finished!

DSS you be getting your prizes for having it picked as one of the top five mods.

Sorry guys I did not mean to attack, but I felt that I was...which I took wrong. Sorry again.

As for my slow response...yeah that is true and my 50-60 hr salary job sucks the real life out of me. I normally get about 3 hours a night to try and do any personal or website stuff. Sometimes, don't tell them, I jump online and check my emails at lunch time.

This is probably the final post here as there will no longer be any updates to this project as per Geno “BoxGods” Phipps. "I will still be finishing the Sentry mod and publishing it and my worklog on Bit-Tech. I am putting it over there just to avoid any controversy etc. with the other 4 builds."

Please go check out the mod there and make sure that you support all the sponsors of the ION event and the hardware used for the mod.

Can I get a link to where he is posting the logs and what not of this pc design? i would like to follow this design with great interest myself. If it comes out looking great, I would likely want to buy it myself..I had several great ideas on how to do the design of this project, I almost submitted my own Portal turret idea after I had posted my Glados sphere idea. Where is this "Bit Tech" and what not. I would like to follow and help with ideas and what not... Thanks.

[BoxGods]

#300 - ION Mod Idea by DSS

Hmmm I don't think so. I had been in contact with him a while back, last I heard he already had all the special fabricating ordered, and already had a buyer lined up. He was going to post stuff about it on the forum he mentioned a few psts up... I was wondering about him too lately. I had his email or I m account...will need to dig it up again and ask. He apparently went to push the envelope with making a special module that will control and "animate" it..controlling its movements to mimic the motions of the turret ingame...light up lights when it "fires" and even spout lines from ingame as well. Think that's crazy? Well he apparently has some way of linking it to a webcam that will be mounted likely in the eye area that will allow it to follow objects based on size and movement speed! Just having this thing as a toy would be awesome enough, let alone a small pc! For those of you thinking about it, no it can't be baught...and will be expensive....judging by his estimate hehehe.
