sorry for sounding like an idiot on my first day.

It's okay.

It's just not possible for us to sponsor 20 motherboards everyday. LOL! That requires really, really serious amount of cash.. and money is something we do not have. LOL!

maybe they have an underground link of hackers spreading out all the way to malaysia

LOL! You may hack but you still won't end up with 20 motherboards a day.

Frankly speaking, the cost of delivering heavy stuff like motherboards doubles the cost of the whole contest. All this (motherboard + delivery) comes out of our pockets, so our resources are limited.

We try to get sponsored prizes to cut down the cost by half (we still sponsor the delivery), but there's only so much we can do. If you guys want more contests and prizes, well, help us help you!

I think is not that easy to get some good sponsers.

We have gotten quite a few companies to sponsor. It depends on the participation of our forumers though.

LOL!! Why is that so?

Well, some sites either do not pay for delivery... or restrict it to their home country. Maybe that's why...
