    I thought this was supposed to be an actual PC build contest, rather than based on gaming set up?  Seems like most of top 5 are all picked including the whole set up: monitors, accessories, room etc. rather than just the pc build.  Don't get me wrong they look awesome! But just defeats the whole purpose of the contest.  I accidentally voted for game room 3.0 while scrolling (how do I change vote?),  but I really think ICEBERG should win because his is actually about the pc build, which is what the contest is supposed to be about.  Your game set up and monitors, etc. shouldn't even be in photos.

    Open-air builds are pretty rare around these parts and this one is done very well,  Player 1 has to be my choice this time around.

    There should be a contest where there is a strict budget, as all these people have multi thousand dollar set ups so giving them 500$ wouldn’t be as cool as giving somebody that only has 500$ Pc or 900$ pc. @TSTonyV

    Part of this contests description was how the PC fits into your full setup. These were the criteria:
    • Photo quality
    • Quality of description of the post
    • Quality of cable management
    • Uniqueness of build or theme
    • How the PC fits into the full setup
    So at least for this contest the whole setup was in consideration, but I understand where you're coming from. Feedback like this is definitely taken into consideration for possible future contests.

    ‐-----------------------
    I completely understand!  The only problem is that the entries being submitted ends up being about the whole set up.  The photos mainly submitted are the overall view, rather than the actual build.   From most of these post I can tell you how many monitors, etc they have, but I can't tell you much about their pc because there are either no close up parts photo, or none at all, or 95% photos of monitors, chairs, etc lol.  The voting versus random winners is much better though so thanks for considering what people are suggesting!
