VeryPC Posted September 10, 2013 Author Posted September 10, 2013 you could just send a crate at a time, saves on having to rent an office block. I prefer the idea of filling a warehouse to the rafters, giving you all cryptic clues to it's location, and then waiting for you to find it and have to eat your way inside! 1
X-13 Posted September 10, 2013 Posted September 10, 2013 giving you all cryptic clues to it's location If the Stocktober secret phrase is anything to go by, I'd get it with the first clue.

That would be the best ever competition! Or a Very Pc style super market sweep?
VeryPC Posted September 10, 2013 Author Posted September 10, 2013 If the Stocktober secret phrase is anything to go by, I'd get it with the first clue. If we hide it on Tatooine, yes you probably will.
VeryPC Posted September 10, 2013 Author Posted September 10, 2013 Mug arrived intact so shipping = win Plus the silicone coaster and Star Trek goodness thanks again guys. Ben You're welcome - hope you enjoy them. Al

VeryPC Posted September 16, 2013 Author Posted September 16, 2013 Could that thing do Tattoos? Very very painful and permanent ones, I daresay
siuko Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 Thanks for posting that Al!!! Its fantastic seeing it being created... I was sooooo close to just having the lettering. But that Shai-Hulud looks fantastic on there!!! Bless the Maker and all His Water. Bless the coming and going of Him, May His passing cleanse the world. May He keep the world for his people. Lol Dune rooooooooooooooocks
VeryPC Posted September 16, 2013 Author Posted September 16, 2013 ...that Shai-Hulud looks fantastic on there!!! Bless the Maker and all His Water. Bless the coming and going of Him, May His passing cleanse the world. May He keep the world for his people. Whoah - you are a Dune uber-geek my friend. I didn't even realise there was a proper Arrakis (Fremen?) word for the worms, but now I think about it there had to be really. ...and another quote - do you go around making moral points by quoting chapter and verse from Frank Herbert? Glad you like the teaser BTW. Al
siuko Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 Indeed Al, All my morals are from the Fremen customs.... And anyone who crosses me gets a Crysknife to free their water!
plexer Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 Will there be a mouse trap in stockober2 for these pesky mice that have just been delivered Given them to the receptionists to enjoy as a dose of pure sugar wouldn't be good for me. Ta. Ben
north-ict Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 Out of curiosity shoot me down for asking but would you guys do personal etching requests if someone wanted some artwork designed onto metal sheeting for display? Mind you that would be a cool stocktober2 prize a laser etching onto a sheet as a lesser option compared to the main prize of a pc. Just thinking out loud don't mind me.

Ta. Ben Good idea - a Brandy SNAP! perhaps? Re sugar and not-being-good-for-you-ness: Dan our web developer (you may have seen him in some of the vids) challenged me to film a STOCKTOBER2! video after eating a whole box of (60) sugar mice. I refused. Al

Not really something we'd really get involved in as we're not a marking company, we just use the machine we have for marking our own products. We don't have supplies of metal sheets for doing this sort of work either. TBH it can be quite time consuming converting artwork into laser etching profiles so it has the potential to end up quite expensive too if not part of an order for our PC products. Nice idea though - I daresay there are marking companies around who can perform this service and they should be able to offer more options anyway. Al

The engraving looks good though 1

siuko Posted September 20, 2013 Posted September 20, 2013 (edited) Al, Just wanted to say a massive Thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaank Yoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooou!!!! Have received my prize! And I have got to say how fantastic the laser etching is... looks great. The other thing is... HOW SMALL are these things lol (About the size of a hard back book if anyone is wondering) Sorry I've not had chance to plug it in and test it yet (and I'm on holiday next week yay!) but I will have a look once I get back. Big thank you to you all at Very PC. Edited September 20, 2013 by siuko 1

We're all really chuffed that you like it so much. Al 1
