ok ya'll the competition is now officially CLOSED.
It appears that there are a few people close to the result but no one got it right,
when i booted the system a week ago, i attached a USB mouse instead of the PS/2 mouse, that caused a hardware 'redetect' which slowed down my result by some seconds.
anyway, on with the result,
from start up (pressing the power button) to the moment i got a ping reply back from www.google.com took exactly (and i'm being specific here)
Quote:1 minute, 51.7 seconds
based on the result above and the guesses listed here, it's my honor to present the prize of the Fujitsu Scaleo Minitower pc to
z0ny
for his near perfect guess of 1 minute and 56 seconds.
If z0ny wants the box, and will pay for shipping as above then it's all his, if he doesnt, then I will award it to the second closest guesser (and so on until the box is shipped out of my office).
congrats z0ny and thanks to everyone for taking part
cheers
