Smart? Witty? How about a guy playing StarCraft II, Fallout 3, and Dragon Age (among others) on a P4 3.2GHz, 2GB 800 MHz RDRAM, with a Radeon 3850 AGP (just replaced a GeForce 6800 Ultra a few months ago - that was a great card and served me well for a long long time). Crazy thing is, at 1650x1080, the games aren't terrible (half-bad, yes, but not terrible). It's the Little 6-year-old Rig that Could!

why dont they open it to other countries but if someone for another country wins just have them(the winner) pay for the shipping. I would be more than willing to pay like $150 in shipping to receive that bad boy.

[citation][nom]joytech22[/nom]Oh man it's never outside America.. i mean can't toms just "Pay" for the shipping? it's meant to be a competition after all..[/citation]

It's due to legal issues. Sweepstakes, giveaways, etc. have procedures for compliance with state and federal law. Also, the risks of getting scammed increase when you deal with foreign citizens. Having a person in the US to ship to gives them someone they can have a material connection with in case something goes wrong. It is unfortunate, but them's the rules.

It isn't about the shipping cost. It is about international laws.

The UV fans/Liquid cooling look absolutely sexy. I would leave my wife for this rig, its sexier/ probably doesn't talk back or argue with me either lol. And I would get more enjoyment out of it than i did with my wife lol. I would to put this thing through its paces to see what it can do. A system that sexy should be censored for people who cant handle seeing a system like that.

Dern, that's one mighty fine rig. I was tellin' Ma the other day about a tractor I was needin', but then I saw this gussied up thinking-machine on the Internet-picture-viewer and I was flumoxed and my needs dun transmorgafied. (The tore up, old tractor will do fer another season with some bailin' wire and grease.) I can't quite reckon what some of those high-falutin' parts are even fer on that thinking-machine contraption. I'd bet our best yard dog that junior could finally get the best of that McCoy boy she's been hatin' on for years in Crysis 2 (Junior needs all the help she can get, she is a might slow, but I don't like the dog much anyways). So, if I don't win me this here major award, how may chickens you figure I'd have to sell to buy me one?

Cheese for everyone! Wait, Scratch that. Cheese for no one. That can be just as much of a giveaway, if you don't like cheese. True?
