I know some of you think this is a bad idea, but just as a disclaimer, if someone wants to photoshop cpus for use in an ebay auction or something, they're going to do it anyhow Smile

Now, heres the one rule of this contest!

All entries must have a watermark on them saying theyre fake

That's it!

Just to make this fun, I'll give out a first place prize. It's not much, but you'll get your pick of any one chip in my tradelist: http://www.cpudb.com/index.php/User:Skold

I'll pick a winner in a day or two, probably Monday, to give everyone a chance to submit something.

Here's some past photoshopped chips to give you ideas:

You've got all weekend, so take your time and make it look good! Smile

like i already said, if someone wants to scam you they will whether they look at this or not Rolling Eyes .. theyre just as likely to put up an auction for an 8-way opteron server, or plain LIE to you and say theyve got a grey 4004.

imo its not worth fussing about. you should be checking any potential sales beforehand ANYHOW.

this is also the purpose of the watermark.

lastly, your link is broken.

now then, lets have some pics Razz
