Contest #4 DONE!!!

Post by Apoptosis »

Today we are launching a new contest. This one is easy...

Look at the below image and tell me what company this is from. What exactly this is I have no clue, but I found it very interesting. I think that really bored people at work stand behind it and poke fun at the people who really are working.

Image

For this contest just go ahead and post your guess below. You only get one guess and after a bunch of you post I'll let you know what the correct answer is and I'll send you out a t-shirt.


Contest Ends Tuesday September 14th!!!!


I can't wait to see who you think this is... You'll never guess

Ok, someone has to guess so... my guess is:

company: ASUS

purpose: behind the plastic is where they put defective/non-conforming products and/or items that are there for servicing. at first i thought it might be some sort of entrance to a cleanroom, but they wouldn't use that kind of plastic because there is too much static buildup. i don't know. i don't really know that much about computer stuff. i do want a t shirt though. so there is my guess.

Company: ABIT

Purpose: For the people who travel to shows to stand behind when angry customers throw bad capacitors at them.

Reason: There is a bottle of Alcohol in the picture and I think you half to be an Alcoholic to work there.

I think it is Corsair.

It is probably some kind of "Family" day where Parents bring in their family...the children got to draw this and then take pictures while standing behind it and having their faces poke through. It is now currently after that day, and they are recycling the plastic as a way to cover the door -- they are doing some kind of low-key remodeling or something and it keeps people from wandering that direction.

Shirt Size: Medium

Company: Red Bull
Purpose: It gives you wings!

J/K

Company: DFI
Purpose: They're expanding the assembly area. Someone cut a hole for ventilation otherwise the plastic wouldn't stay. It would get ripped away from the staples holding it to the wall. The drawing grew around the ventilation hole.
It kind of looks like an Amish skydiver. But seeing as how the Amish don't like modern inventions, he's going to have a hard time opening that chute that ain't there.

Shirt size: Large

Company: Corsair (???)
Purpose: This is the room they use to clean dimms off (using the alcohol) before applying the heatsinks (I think this might be a temporary 're-work' area, the fan helps keep the employee halfway sober (you can't safely drink iso, but if you breath the fumes.........hoo-boy)
the hole allows some fresh air in, but is really to allow the person to reach out to get more parts from the shelf behind the plastic. the drawing evolved (the day they forgot to the fan) from the boss checking on how quickly thinks were going (notice the angry storm clouds)
Of course I could be wrong
T-Shirt Size: XL would work

Here is another view od the same "thing"

Image

So basically this is a window in a side room at Corsair Memory. Not many inside the company know the purpose, but an employee who works in the room hung this up and put the design in it. I'll just leave it at that.

The Winners Are:

Amy
T-Shirt (guess we will have to send him something other than a T-Shirt)

Go ahead and e-mail me your shipping address!

Thanks for entering and hope you had fun with those pictures...

Actually, thats how I choose the name, the very first prize I won online was a t-shirt (butt ugly, the wrong size and 3 months late, but it felt great to win)
Thanks legit reviews, Apoptosis, and all for the prize. (now I won't have to surf naked :wink: )
