The Tom's Hardware Best PC Builds Giveaway

[eternallydead]

This is awesome, thank you for running this contest

 

[anxiousjedi]

I was able to finally get the steam portion to let me sign in, but whenever I tried with the profile number it kept saying that it had already logged in (with 0 entries listed) and asked me to use a different account. It didn't matter if I was logged in to Toms or not, same issue each time.

No idea what the problem is. I'm reasonably certain I have entries now at least!

If you want to PM me your information I can double check for you.

I'm having trouble with this as well.

I gots my fingers and toes crossed for this one. I've been using ya'll to help me troubleshoot for some time now but never made an account just searched ya'lls forums. They almost always have the answer. Thanks for the years of help!

 

[fl-gators-fan]

WOW!! Awesome! Count me in! Many thanks Tom's!

Hmm, sorry I missed it, _Johnny5. Between some health issues keeping me away from "sit there and read tech news until an actual issue arises" (cough cough, I mean... Work productively, obviously) and serious problems accessing Tom's Hardware on mobile, I haven't been around as much. I'll keep my eyes peeled!

It says the giveaway has 3 days to go? Isn't it finishing in 1 hour and 8 minutes?

Might be a glitch.

Hi,

The email I just got clearly says: and I quote:

To sweeten the deal for you, we're running Summer Giveaways with thousands of dollars in prizes of epic hardware, gaming consoles, and tech that we know you want - and all you have to do to enter to win is log in.

Now, I'm from Sweden and how does this sweetens my deal?
Since it is clearly, after I read the terms in smaller letters, not affect any country outside USA?

Please be more specific beforehand and don't send out any promise winning-things via a mass letter outside the USA - unless You can keep the promised.
How many regular member does tom's has outside of the USA? Must be thousands...

Best regards from Sweden

I am sorry for my poor english.

Logging into Gleam should not be necessary to enter the competition. You should only have to input your public profile id number int he input box on the widget. Going to double check on that now.

It seems like it is necessary.
After public profile ID was entered it asked me 'bout first-last name and email.
And then I got this message.

Hey Johnny, when is the giveaway going to be closed and drawn?

Hey Johnny, when is the giveaway going to be closed and drawn?

Originally the giveaway was going to close today, but we've extended it to Monday. I'll draw the winning entries on Tuesday and hopefully have all the prizes shipped out by the 30th of this month

Woops, I thought Public ID # initially meant my User ID and I put Brogni and it somehow accepted it xd, any chance I can re-do the entry?

I love Tom's Hardware, but I hate GLEAM with a freakin passion. Why should I have to register on another site to win a contest on this site? It's bad enough that GLEAM wants my email address to send me spam (which you know is how that site is making money), but GLEAM also wants to "See who you follow, and follow new people, Update your profile, and Post Tweets for you." Screw you Gleam.

I respectfully boycott this giveaway and the virus that is GLEAM.

If you can recommend another raffle giveaway system I'd be happy to look into it.

I can't wait to see who wins. Good luck to y'all.

As much as I love the "Best PC Builds", I think it would be interesting to see a "Worst PC Builds" competition. Maybe a 1Ghz Pentium 3 or Athlon... or Celeron/Duron. Throw in a GeForce 6200 with a cardboard box chassis, a cheapo PSU (Logisys, Apevia, etc.), some ancient 16-18Gb HDD, and a fresh copy of Windows 10. Good to go

Good to start a fire

Pretty sure there would be some pretty interesting legalities if someone was sent that.

*EDIT* On second thought, that could well be a contest run outside of the US (and Canada). You'd need somewhere with a less "lawsuit" culture if you dared ship that anywhere! :lol:
