I'm hoping those GPU work units will be back soon so I can put my 7970 to good use coz I haven't had the time to game lately.

Great work team. :toast:

Sorry I did not put up any prizes, the casino thinks they need my money more than me. :banghead:

Aquinus · May 20, 2013

Congratulations everyone. I'm never bummed when I don't win because I got used to not winning so often in my youth. :laugh:

No, the love needs to be spread around. I still have Norton's old 965 rig from the last contest which might be finding its way to a family member in the near future considering my aunt is still using a computer with Windows XP and DDR memory. :eek:

Once again, enjoy your new, game, software, and hardware everyone. You earned it! :cool:

Thanks NHKS!

Xenturion · May 20, 2013

As elated as I am for winning, I'd rather the Razer Orca Headset go to someone else. Feel free to do a redraw on that prize with me removed from the running. I've already got a fairly nice pair of stereo headphones, and 7.1 speakers when I can afford the luxury of volume. Surely someone else would get better use out of it.
