Hello everybody, as I had mentioned to a few people already, I am doing another annisman hardware giveaway. The first giveaway was an 8800GTS 512, won by Jay2Tall about a month or so ago. Now that Christmas is just a few weeks away I felt I should give away more than just one thing, so that more people had a chance of getting something nice in time for Christmas.
Up for grabs are 3 pieces of hardware, and one game.
The hardware is: 1X Supertalent Ultra Drive Me 32GB Sold State Drive
1X Creative X-FI Fatal1ty Pro Gamer Series Sound Card
4X 1GB Sticks of G. Skill DDR2 800 Ram
Also, I will be giving away a game (On Steam) that is 20$ or less, your choice which game that is.
Here are the rules for obtaining one of these items:
1. You must post in this thread.
2. Only one entry for an item per person, I want there to be 4 seperate winners so choose the one thing that you hope to get.
3. You must meet any specific requirements for the item that you are requesting (more on that in a second).
4. It is recommended (but not necescary) that you post a picture of the computer that you want to upgrade with one of these parts.
5. The winners will be announced here in this thread one week from now, Wed. December 9th. (the date may move slightly up or down a day depending on how many entries there are)
6. I will ship the hardware, and gift the Steam game within 3 days of the announcement. I will pay the shipping charges.
I will only ship to the continental USA, sorry Canada!
Here are some pictures of the items, and the SPECIFIC requirements that go along with them. I took the pictures near our little family Christmas tree for a nice Christmas setting!
This is a Super Talent 32GB Ultra Drive Me SSD, I bought it about 6 months ago and used it as a boot drive for Windows Vista 64bit until it took a crap. I then sent it to Super Talent for RMA, and in the mean time purchased a 120GB OCZ Vertex Drive. I just got the Rma'd 32GB Supertalent drive back in the mail today, so as you can see in the picture it is still in it's factory sealed package. However this drive is not 'new' it is probably a refurbished drive.
Although I used it as a boot drive, and it worked amazingly fast, it is just not big enough (in my opinion) to be a boot drive. But that is up to you what you do with it!
The specific rules to obtain the SSD are:
1. You do not have a high-end hard drive already, such as a Raptor drive or a brand new 7200RPM drive.
2. You tell me what you plan on doing with it if you get it. (boot drive, put a couple favorite games on it, etc.)
The second item is my Creative X-FI Fatal1ty Pro Gamer Sound Card.
Absolutely awesome sound card I have used it for a couple years and it is great. The X-FI Crystalizer feature makes your music sound so much crisper, along with all of it's other features. It also lights up red on the side. Very nice card, however after changing my motherboard to a Gigabyte UD5 I no longer have an open PCI slot to use this in, but maybe you do ?
The specific rules to obtain this item are:
1. You have either onboard sound or you have a very old soundcard such as an original soundblaster.
2. You have an available PCI slot (duh!)
3. Tell me why you would like this card, and whether you use speakers or headphones, also do you watch alot of movies on your PC ?
The last item is a 4GB kit of DDR2 800 G. Skill Ram.
Not very high end ram, but they have heatspreaders and it is 4 Gigs...
Perfect for sprucing up the performance of an old PC with DDR2 Support.
The specific rules for getting the Ram is:
1. You are upgrading a computer that has 1GB or less of ram.
2. You want to build a new computer on the cheap, and these 4GB of ram will be perfect for you...
3. You have some other way of using this ram (maybe 2GB for you, and 2GB for a friend).
Remember, even though the Sound Card and SSD and game are probably nicer than the RAM, there will probably be less entries for the RAM, therefore a better chance to win.
Finally, I am Steam-Gifting one PC game that can be bought for 20$ or less ( and there are pleanty of great titles for that price)
The rules for getting the game are:
1. You tell me what game you would like if you won, and also what are your 3 favorite games of all time ?
If you are looking at this thread, and none of the hardware can help you, or if you have a mad l33t computer already, or you just think that others might benefit more than you. Then this is the offer for you. There is no reason not to at least put your name in to try and get a free game off of steam, so what are you waiting for?
Now, I would just like to say that i am not a rich man, I am a 21 yr old full time student in college, I work about 30 hours a week at Good Guy's Pizza in Buffalo NY. So I would ask that people please not take advantage of all this in any way, and be honest about what's your computer etc. These are just parts that I don't or can't use anymore, and would rather give away than sell for a profit.
Finally I would just like to say Merry Christmas to everyone, and good luck! In my family we believe that giving gifts to others has a much deeper meaning that just 'getting stuff'. We believe it fully symbolizes God's gift to us, his son Jesus Christ who died to help free us from sin and death if we trust in him.
I don't mean to preach, but this is what me and my loved ones hold true during Christmas, good luck, and Merry Christmas!
