Today ASUS kicked off a new PC building contest where they are offering up hardware and gift cards to winners. Called the ASUS Skills Challenge, the hardware company is challenging enthusiasts to time themselves building a computer, and the three fastest times will get Newegg cards and hardware grab bags. In addition, the PC builder that puts their computer together faster than JJ from ASUS will win a grand prize.
Prizes for the Skill Challenge include:
Grand Prize:
- The enthusiast that builds their PC faster than JJ wins a grand prize that includes all of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place prizes as well as a "top of the line" ASUS grab bag.
The fastest build time of all entrants, 1st place prize:
- ASUS Sabertooth Z77 Motherboard, ASUS GTX 660Ti, and a $500 Newegg gift card.
The second fastest build time, 2nd place prize:
- ASUS grab bag and a $250 Newegg gift card.
The third fastest build time, 3rd place prize:
- ASUS grab bag and a $100 Newegg gift card.
Alternatively, ASUS is offering up a random prize draw as well for those that want a chance to win without entering the speed building contest. In the random prize draw, one entrant will be chosen, and ASUS will award the winner with a $100 Newegg gift card and an ASUS grab bag.
The contest begins today and will end on October 14th, 2012 at 5:00 PM PDT. To enter, you will need to "Like" this ASUS Skills Challenge contest page, and then provide the company with your name, birthday, and email. If you are doing the building challenge, you will further need to provide an unedited video of yourself assembling a PC with a timer of some sort in the foreground.
Basic contest rules are that you be at least 18 years old, and live within the United States or Canada. If you do not use Facebook, you can also enter the contest on this webpage. The winner list will be posted on the app on (or before) October 19, 2012.

Oh my GOD, what a waste of time, I guess this draws the foucs away for ASUS’s crappy update software, you know the Asus live update software that pops up every time you boot your computer, and has to be uninstalled, beacuse there is no way to tell the software not to start everytime your computer boots or reboots! These contests are about as usefull as chasing a greesed pig at the county fair!
