After stunning round of entries and astounding cable management, we have finally come to conclusion for the Clean and Clear contest. With a whopping 20 entries it was very tough to decide the winners. All the entries were spot on and deserves a credit. However due to limited scope we cannot provide prizes to all thus we have jotted down the list and with the help of a public poll we were able to finally come to a conclusion.
The contest was organised in association with SVGTech and we are thankful to them for providing the prizes. The winners were chosen on the basis of 70 - 30 criteries, where 70% of the voting was done by staff and 30% were taken from the public poll. The result were then merged to get the best out of all the 20 contestants.

The results are -
Winner -rd274 ( http://www.techencla...80#entry1727195 )
A medieval case and huge components, rd274's entry was one of the most striking ones in the contest. With almost no routing holes and areas to hide the cable, r274 pulled off a great one and conjured us into it. The neat cable management with such setup deserves a special round of applause. Without any glossy cabinet and other umpteen compoenents, rd274 really did a great job thus grabbing the top spot.
Prize - SVG Hoc 40
1[sup]st[/sup] Runner Up - Naveen Chauhan ( http://www.techenclave.com/topic/511044-techenclave-presents-clean-clear-contest/page__st__60#entry1724481 )
The only entry in which the modification looks permanent and subtle. Naveen did a decent job in not only routing the cables but abducting them inside a ghetto pipe, making the changes more stable and less clutter. A decent rig and clean management ensured that he secured the 1st runner up place.
Prize - SVG HOC 20
2[sup]nd[/sup] Runner Up - Fah33m ( http://www.techencla...80#entry1726507 )
The bumblebee custom design and off the shelf management, faheem has managed to grab quite an attention there with a super clean chassis and one of the best cable managements we have come across. The classic overall setup add to the overall asthetics of the case. The use of a non-modular power supply secured him additional brownie points. His efforts have paid off and he grabs the 2nd runner up spot.
Prize - SVG AOC 120DT Heatsink
3[sup]rd[/sup] Runner Up - Rejin ( http://www.techencla...60#entry1725798 )
Restricted with a run-of-the-mill setup and add to it an average non-modular power supply with a completely no-frills case, rejin had little free estate to work with. However, the brilliant cable management topped with a clever hiding trick paved the way for him to snatch the last runner up spot in the competition. Post the modifications, the system looked clean and the changes looks stable and permanent. Rejin has managed to grab quite some attention there with his subtle entry and has him finally pinned at the forth spot. Rejin, get yourself a better power supply - quick!
Prize - SVG AOC 120ST Heatsink
