The Press Play ‘Split Second’ PC Assembling Competition is an event, where participating teams had to build the fastest/most powerful possible PC within the allocated budget. The computer parts were provided by Golden Systems Middle East, GIGABYTE and Coolermaster. Each team worked within their budget to build a PC, where each part value was deducted from the allocated budget.

The participating teams at the Press Play ‘Split Second’ PC Assembling Competition were judged on speed of assembling the PC, speed of dismantling the components, processing power, graphics performance, WEI and 3D Mark Vantage game. The team from University of Wollongong scored the highest marks on all the criteria to take the first place. The second prize was won by Middlesex University.

About The Republic:
In April 2010, a group of three enthusiastic college students initiated a unique youth group, in the U.A.E, to deploy projects for youth benefit and support. The trio called it “The Republic”. After a few successful events and projects, more students showed an interest in the group and joined the team to contribute their talents and skills for a good cause. The Republic grew significantly, and continues to do the same.

The Republic provides a platform for university students in the U.A.E. to connect with each other, discover their talents and give back to the society. Under the roof of the Republic, the students learn to stand as one. The varied talents of “The Republicans” elegantly lend themselves to the concept of TR as a “collector of clubs.” Students form clubs where those with similar interests can get together to explore their fields of interest and in the process gain knowledge, experience and skill. Each club has its own goals and methods, but occasionally the different clubs unite to work on large-scale projects, mostly events. The goal of The Republic as a unit is to “edutain” i.e. educating while entertaining. For further information, please visit https://www.therepublic.ae
