Uhm... not to be rude, but those are some pretty unexciting prizes...

200 bucks is cheap price for thousands of likes, so MSI can show off how "popular" they are.

MSI Z68A-GD65 socket LGA1155 motherboard (1st place)

Uh...Z68 ? MSI, this is 2013, i know you make good stuff for here and now, so why ?

Is the mobo's box included?

I have no complains becuase i know how hard it is to get prizes for giveaways.
Something is better than nothing, Good luck all.

Can you really complain when the price is free and all you have to do is like the page?

is that a joke?

Thank you TPU and MSI, and good luck everyone:toast:

what? You're complaining about the prizes in a giveaway? I mean if it was a competition of some sort I could understand but for this you don't have to do any effort. Even if you wind up not using the prizes you can always sell them (free money).

Congrats to the Fractal Design Giveaway winners... :toast:

One of the things that I enjoy about being on a site like TechPowerUp.com is seeing the different cultural and economic viewpoints. This giveaway has shown how people react on both accounts. I (my viewpoint) think it is in very poor taste to give, as a prize, anything but your best, and some of the comments echo that. These prizes represent the company, and MSI should have asked themselves what this says about them. Others don't care that MSI, "one of the world's largest motherboard and video card manufacturers. In addition, MSI also manufactures a wide range of products including notebooks, gaming laptops, All-in-One PCs, servers/workstations, industrial PCs, household appliances, car infotainment products, barebone systems and communication devices among other things" - with "Revenue TW$74.61 billion / $2.54 billion (2011)" (from wikipedia)- would give away a discontinued, (Newegg.com) previous generation product. This is not to bash MSI's products. Their use of "Military Class" components has contributed greatly to the quality and longevity of all motherboards today. I have a MSI N460GTX Twin Frozr II SOC that I absolutely love.
IMHO, bad form MSI, bad form.

Finnaly someone who didnt just complain but gave reasoning behind it, ( which i 100% agree with by the way).

But nice to see more people doing give away's and getting popularity on social media, having a chance to win for clicking 1 keyboard key and 1 mouse click, definitely cant complain on my end.

Thanks TPU and MSI

HOLY HELL........... How does a giveaway turn into a crybaby fest?? Its a GIVEAWAY, who cares it is FREE.............

some other threads are popping up with malware warnings from Google Chrome... in particular the 360 office thread and the monster 7750 thread. not sure if they ARE infected but chrome says they are so i'm staying away until otherwise... just thought you'd want to know !

"Kadir from Turkey, wins Fractal Design Define XL R2 (black) case"

i think that named person winner is me :respect:

Yay, nothing like giving away crap you can't sell!!:shadedshu

I like all of these people with under 10 posts both winning and crying about giveaways here on TPU...and I thought I was a troll...

Some people are really an ungrateful f*cks, the mods here are patient....

Id be very happy to win the motherboard. Even just to win one of those little watches is better than nothing.
