The ASUS Treasure Hunt - COMPETITION CLOSED

This time round we've decided to up the ante and actually make you do some work for this awesome prize. Hidden somewhere in one of our most recent ASUS reviews is a scaled down version of ASUS' sexy warrior lady (seen right). Once you've found her, simply register on our forums and enter the web address (URL) to the page the picture is on using the form below, to be in with a chance of winning.

Found some wallpapers for you guys. TinEye was useful this time.
Only really one of a decent size, but i'll post all the biggish ones i could find. Actually. There are only 3 decent(ish) quality ones and even then they are a bit cack.
1920x1200
http://img453.imageshack.us/img453/9...97bzo07rj4.jpg
Might try and PS the writing out of the bottom one. Will probably spaff it up, so don't hold your breath.
EDIT: the patch tool made that far too easy. Will upload now.
EDIT 2: http://i38.tinypic.com/2eukiti.jpg
Now i might see if i can make it look any beter. This is where i will definitely fail. Also some stuff in the bottom right. Another port of call for the fail boat.
Last Edit i promise: Got rid of the smaller ones, you can just resize this one or something. Didn't want to clog this up with billions of pics.
Got rid of the writing in the bottom right. Hardly professional, but it's not hugely obvious unless you look for it.

QuoteIs there only one answer or is there more. coz every review I look at there lies that woman.
BTW does the woman have to be exactly the same e.g some parts of her aint missing like legs etc
Is it by any chance on a GFX CardQuote
