i'd like to post this outside of the Grid Forum, as it could be beneficial to any PCQ&A member.
Pwrguru is running a contest for people on the Grid team. the prize is a 2400 Athlon computer. The computer specs are as follows: 1. Standard case and 400w power supply 2. 40gig 7200rpm harddrive 3. Asus a7v8x-mx motherboard with onboard sound, audio, and lan 4. Amd 2500 "barton core" cpu, 333 fsb, 512 L2 cache 5. 256mb 2700ddr non-ecc ram 6. "a" drive and basic cdrom drive...Might be a burner if they are on sale 7. Windows XP home edition 8. Shipping anywhere on this planet..
The only rule is that to enter the contest you must be a contributing member of the team (you have plenty of time to do this ), and that you continue to contribute after you receive the prize.

Dave, that's all ya can do, is try! Thank you for doing so. *smiles* Actually, I shouldn't say that is the only thing you can do, visit the UD forum and there are some tips that you may be able to use right now to help push you along.
Feel free to ask any questions in that forum about the UD as someone will surely be so kind to help you.
