The total scores were calculated for both rounds and Rui Pereira from Gigabyte announced the standings. Fifth place went to Ben Bradnick of the Gigabyte UK forums, winning him an Enermax Revolution 85+ 850W PSU. Fourth place to Peter Wright from DarkCat Systems who won a 2GB set of DDR3 Kingston HyperX RAM. Third place was nabbed by YoyoTech’s Ben Donnelly and Luke Szczawinski who won a Western Digital VelociRaptor Hard drive. BenchTec came in second place, also acquiring a 3GB triple channel set of DDR3 Kingston HyperX RAM. Finally Midland Computers just edged into first place thanks to a brilliant first round and is going on an all expenses paid trip to the final European leg in Prague. Each team got to keep their GA-EX58-UD4P motherboard and peripherals and a good day was had by all. We wish Philip from Midland Computers the best of luck in the next round.
