The final countdown: Who will win our $3000 Velocity Micro PC this Xmas? photo

ONE SHALL STAND. ONE THOUSAND SHALL FALL.

While we wish we had a couple of hundred computers to give away next week, we only have but one succulent Velocity Micro Quad-core Mega Gaming Orgasm™ PC to give away along with a free copy of Crysis -- and you have less than 72 hours to get your photo entry in.  If you just found out about the contest it is not too late to enter, but you're going to be going up against some pretty stiff competition. All you have to do is take photo of yourself in front of this page and post it on your community blog -- that's all there is to it.  To win the grand prize, your photo simply has to blow our mind. Interpret that any way you'd like, just don't hurt yourself (too much)!

Who's in the lead today?  It's hard to say.  Thornn, Dutch, Dexter, and various others have been pushing the envelope and I think we're going to see some insane entries appear at the last minute, like those ninjas that steal all those eBay auctions away from you. The hilarious entry above is from MikeMGN's blog, who talked his girlfriend into channeling Edvard Munch. Simple, but surprisingly effective! I laughed so hard I almost accidentally stabbed myself in the eye with my DS stylus.

In need of a strategy? Think outside of the box. Some contestants are doing series of photos, videos, and other tactics to bend the rules in their favor.  Due to the sheer awesomeoness of some of these entries we will also be awarding some mystery prizes to the top 10 runner-ups, so gather your loved ones and tuck your genitalia between your legs -- this is going to be a close photo finish! Pun intended, HAHA!  

Goodnight, and good luck.

Jeez.
Well, my vote is for Thorn.
Looks like he needs a new comp anyways.

Yeah, that is not that great. It's kinda funny, but I agree with Chee, Thornn deserves this more than anybody at this point. For fucks sake, he has two kids and makes 7 bucks and hour. And he is willing to show his disgusting nakedness to us all just for the comp.

Giving it to someone else would be wrong, nobody's entries beat his.

He's definitely among the stronger candidates. Anything can happen though. I can't wait to see if anyone has a secret weapon to pull out at the last minute.

yeah I just looked at some of Thorn's entries. They're so highly disturubing that I don't think I could ever top that. And I may be going blind now. maybe I should give up.

I still toast to destructoiders though. Beer is actually much tastier when it's robot head label.

Not to be an asshole, but you mean “awesomeness” and “genitalia”, right?

Also, won’t the top 10 entries all come from Thornnn or Dexter anyway?

Dagnabbit, this is no fair. I'm too poor for a camera. How can the people who TRULY deserve the computer (me, me, and more me) get it if the entire reason they deserve it is because they lack the funds to enter it?

And the only person I know with a camera is a jerkface and won't let me borrow it.

I wasn't referring to her, it was Thornnn's ass that is now etched into my brain.

I know Thorn and Dexter may have gone with more -- er -- natural entries, but, man, I agree with you Knee Row: that above pic is HILARIOUS! :)

If that's her "O" face, then I'd be scared... very very scared.

Because of Thornn, 3 of my friends will never grace this site again.

Thornnn needs to win just so something good can come out of all the mental trauma I've endured.

Is it wrong that I would go after a girl specifically if that was her "O" face? If she and Mike ever break up, she has a free date over here.

Seriously, I'd crown that pic the winner, if I had my way. Props to Thornnn, though.

Hell, even my vote goes to Thornnn, but I guess I'm glad my vote doesn't count. I haven't checked out Dutch's entries though, I'm heading there now. Regardless, I'm looking forward to seeing the top ten!
