Default August's Foldathon

Why
Since many of us can't afford the electricity bills that come with folding 24/7, this is a designated time when everyone can fold and make their contributions felt in a big way.

When
Starting August 18th (Tuesday) at 12pm MDT and continuing until August 20th (Thursday) at 12pm MDT.
(That's 1pm CST, 2pm EST, 11am PST, 6pm GMT )
Countdown

Prizes
The foldathon will start with one prize. Another prize will be added once 50 people have signed up, another at 100, and so on. (ie 5 prizes at 200 people)
Winners will be drawn at random from all those who post in the sign up thread Even if you complete just one work unit, you'll still be entered to win. Each item on the list represents one drawing for one winner.
This month there will be extra 'quarterly prizes' drawn for those who have participated in June and July. There will be a list of those eligible posted in the sign up thread. YOU MUST PARTICIPATE THIS MONTH AS WELL TO BE ENTERED IN THE QUARTERLY DRAWINGS!.

*prize list*
  1. 3DMark Vantage Advance Edition license key
    *donated by Valicious*
    The winner is 87-wierdo124
    two 3DMark Vantage Advance Edition license keys
    *donated by Socom*
    Winner #1 is 37-cuy50
    Winner #2 is 58-nckid4u




  2. Modded CM590 (OCN Case Mod 2009 Winner)
    *donated by nckid4u*
    Winner must pay shipping
    Winner is 93-TurboTurtle




  3. Thermalright Ultra-120 Extreme Heatpipe CPU Cooler (Socket 775)
    Winner is 81-Hueristic


*quarterly prize list*
The numbers are for the xth qualifier on the list. (ie #3 for the quarter\ly prizes is the 3rd qualifier on the list, even though it is #7
on the list as a whole.)



It's crucial to the success to spread the word. Here's the code for the fold-a-thon bit of my signature. Add it to yours today!

WOW those prizes are AMAZING.

I should hopefully have another Vantage Advanced code to throw in the prize pool when my 260 comes in the mail.
