Leading case, power, and cooling brand be quiet! partners with TechPowerUp to present the "Get in the Flow" Giveaway. Open to our readers from the United States and Canada, the Giveaway lets one lucky winner bring home a be quiet! Pure Base 500DX case (color of the winner's choice). Released in Spring 2020, the be quiet! Pure Base 500DX is a premium ATX mid-tower case targeted at those wanting to build airy high-performance gaming builds. Its large mesh-type front panel allows the intake fans to breathe freely, helping them maintain a positive air-pressure inside. You also get vast amounts of room—graphics cards up to 36.9 cm long, and CPU coolers up to 19 cm tall (the RTX 3090 Founders Edition will be comfy). The air-flow design focus continues into filtered 140 mm top vents, and the inclusion of three 140 mm fans. All in all, a case for your next 4K battle station you're putting together for Cyberpunk 2077. Learn more about this case in the TechPowerUp Review. Open from today, entries for the Giveaway close on October 1, 2020. To participate, simply fill up a short form to help us get back to you if you've won. Good Luck!

Odd that it's limited to NA considering Be Quiet is a German company. Thankfully i already own Dark Base 900 r2.

Obviously they will ship from the US warehouses. Just like every other time, we told them that global = better exposure and less drama. They still decided they prefer US/CA.

Would you rather way say "no", so nobody gets free stuff?

Yes!
No giveaway, no free promotion.
Make it global, get global exposure.

If I'm being selfish, yes.

But I'm not. Its clear you've had the conversation, atleast. Sometimes repetition is key to get a point across :) Although I gotta say, there is something to be said for Caring1's approach as well. Not sure if they'd just tell you to 'be quiet' then, though :p

Tell them this: they ostracize EU enthusiasts with those sorts of US only giveaways. We wont forget = brand reputation damage. Very silly. I understand they have a “US” marketing budget, and the giveaway has been allocated to that cost centre. Nonetheless, it is a bad GLOBAL marketing strategy. Reflection of stovepipe thinking and matrix management at the company. Thats what we infer. Those reflect inefficient company structures = Companies that are unable to bring the best to market at the best prices = second rate manufacturer.

As usual, most giveaway really do not care about people in Europe or asia Pacific...in Europe most companies still have the mentality of making it big in the Usa....true...i agree, a lot of POTENTIAL customers, but as others pointed out here, ”be quiet”, you will start to loose your old market.....regarding TPU, I agree with what said...at least somebody will have free stuff....but please try persuading more the tech companies on a ”world” giveaway....otherwise what is the point of all being ”connected”.....
