ECS join hands with Intel for a DIY campaign

Computer hardware and notebook manufacturer Elitegroup Computer Systems (ECS),
in association with Intel India launched a 'Do-it-Yourself' (DIY) campaign
amongst the technically qualified enginee­ring student community in India.
Focusing on the assembly of PCs based on Intel Core 2 Duo CPUs, the campaign
will cover three major engineering colleges each in Bangalore, Chennai and
Hyderabad, respectively.

A 'Who Can Build the Fastest Core 2 Duo PC' contest will be conducted in
each college, on a regular college day and in close association of the college
faculty. Student's teams, selected by the college faculty after a brief
qualifying test, comprising three members per team, will assemble PCs within the
stipulated contest times. The fastest team to assemble a Core 2 Duo PC will walk
away with attractive prizes, including ECS dual core motherboards and Intel Core
2 Duo processors. There will be other attractive prizes for the runners-up and
participating contestants, as well.

A random quiz contest, on PC technology related subjects, is designed to keep
the non-contestants engaged during the assembly contest and will enable students
to learn, in a fun-oriented environment, the latest developments in PC
technologies and products. The event will also witness the presence of senior
ECS and Intel officials, who along with the College faculty will give away
prizes to the winners at the end of the program.

“We are very excited about the Do-it-Yourself campaign and feel confident
that it will push the technically qualified student community to take up PC
assembly as a hobby,” opined Adam Chau, Marketing Director, Elitegroup
Computer Systems.
