Alistair Roe is the winner of the inaugural ASUS Master Challenge.
He wins a P7P55D motherboard. APC and ASUS were impressed by the PC he
defined
around two ASUS components, a Maximus III Gene motherboard, and an
ASUS EAH5870 graphics card.

ASUS's Matthew Wu had this to say about Alistair's entry: "Congratulations
to Alistair for creating a perfect gaming machine using the ASUS
Republic of Gamers Maximus III GENE mATX motherboard and the ASUS
EAH5870 graphics card as a baseline. The combination of the powerful
Lynnfield CPU with high-bandwidth memory and very good CPU cooler, will
allow the user to achieve a really nice overclock to add to the gaming
experience. The monitor is
perfect for the high performance that the ASUS EAH5870 delivers and
adding another 2 monitors will allow Alistair to experience AMD’s
Eyefinity. The power supply and case will provide the performance and
space for an extra ASUS EAH5870 added onto the Maximus III GENE in the
future if more performance is needed. This is a perfect portable LAN
gaming machine that everyone will be envious of. Thank you to all the
entrants who participated, I enjoyed reading all your custom builds and
well done to Alistair and the other honourable mentions listed who made
our Top 10 list below."
