Got dust? Dirtiest PC contest with #GoFanless campaign

"We hear horror stories every day about computers clogged with dust and debris, overheating and failing," said Logic Supply VP of Marketing Andrew Swayze. "We want to highlight the benefits of fanless computing and let people know that there's a better way."

To enter the World's Dirtiest PC Contest, participants need to snap a photo of the inside of their dusty computer and upload it to Logic Supply's #GoFanless Gallery. The photo must include the hashtag #GoFanless for verification and all photos will be reviewed before being posted to the gallery. Participants are encouraged to describe the computer's use, age and location in the image description.

Each week Logic Supply will select one image and the submitter will receive a prize package including a wireless mouse, travel coffee mug and stickers. Throughout the contest, visitors to the #GoFanless Gallery can vote on their favourite dusty PC photo. At the conclusion of the contest the user who uploaded the photo with the most overall votes will receive Logic Supply's new CL100 Fanless Mini PC.

Submissions are now open and participants can upload their photos on the company’s website. Full contest rules and submission guidelines are available online. Weekly winners will be announced every Wednesday beginning 6th July, and participants are encouraged to subscribe to Logic Supply's I/O Hub blog and follow @LogicSupply on Twitter for updates. Winners will also be notified via email. The grand prize winner of the CL100 will be announced 10th August.
