Ok, assuming Jes's submission is actually his rig, then XJBanker is the fifth submission. If it isn't then Phil gets a shot.

good to see this is starting again, about time.

And... thread closed. Enough submissions.

Jes's submission has been invalidated by his lack of response to whether he actually owns the rig/pic in question. Since he only submitted the one pic, he is ineligible. We want to avoid any possible liability for copyright or whatever just in case he were to win.

On the plus side, Phil's rig becomes eligible!
