A Low-Budget Benchmarking Competition for the Most Cursed of us 
1) BUILD a TERRIBLE (but Perhaps Oddly Nostalgic) PC in the style of 2000s - 2010s POVERTY RIGS
2) MOD that HEAP - Custom AIRCOOLING, Ancient OC Lore, Hardmods, & COOL + SILLY AESTHETICS
3) TELL us the STORY of your Build- WHY those Specs? Does any of the Hardware have an INTERESTING or FUNNY History?
4) COMPETE the BEST you CAN on CLASSIC BENCHMARKS while making a SPECTACLE for your Fellow Participants
Think 24 Hours of Lemons C Class but for Dubious PC Hardware of the 2000’s and early 2010s.
Due to the Highly Customized Trash Cup Scoring System, this is an "Unofficial" HWBot Competition This means Submissions Will Not Recieve HWBot Competition Achievements and Boints, only regular HWP
Also due to it's specific nature of the above point attribution, the final ranking at Azalea site, will be different from the ranking at HWBOT
More information can be found at the HWBot Forum or Azalea Computers Discord channel
