Hey Hey Hey! :thumb Looks like Rodney is working on a new webpage. :)

This is just an idea, but maybe you should add the forum names
(Not E-mail and Real Names) of those people next to the products
they won. ;)

[Amdboy89]

Good Idea, lots of good stuff in the upcoming giveaways.

[Amdboy89]

[SAMSAMHA]

how come not many places are givign away mobo and cpu, you know, I have seen gfx card, memory, hd, caes, psu, all sorts of peripheral almost everything you need to build a system, but not cpu or memory. I always have a dream of setting up a system with everything I win to show off:). :rofl2

I dont believe you'll see a CPU in a giveaway, atleast not here, Cpu's are usually expensive therefore you may not see a GREAT proc in a giveaway. Although a few mobos would be great.
I garuantee if intel or AMD sent me their top proc I wouldnt give it away, I'd keep it.

I believe so; however, there is some confusion on the prize(s). I'm confirming that now. I will keep everyone informed and update the Giveaway Calendar if required.

In the instance were there are multiple prizes in the same giveaway/contest there will always be different winners. So if there are 4 prizes, four different people will be eligible to win.

Do these Corporation Sponsors give you the items for the soul purpose of a Giveaway? :)

Yep, that's correct. Also, I request they send the products directly to the winner. Otherwise, they would have to send it to me and then I would be responsible for sending it out.

[Darc]

Good to know for the future :Thumb

[SAMSAMHA]

Yep, that's correct. Also, I request they send the products directly to the winner. Otherwise, they would have to send it to me and then I would be responsible for sending it out.

This is a much economical way, otherwise it would be 2 shipping charges, not to mention that you would have to pay the shipping. This way, they pay the 1 shipping that's needed.

I think the 4 gig giveway is probably the flash drive as it's been given on many sites (though it's still great prize).

Thanks man, for all the great prizes. :clapping :clapping :luxhello :luxhello

That way seems best for everyone. ;)

Giveaways are a great way to promote new hardware. :Thumb

[MakubexGB]

Man, one of those 1GB Corsair Voyager Flash Memory Drives would be so good and useful for College!

By the way, GREAT giveaways Rod! Those are some nice products you're giving away there! Thanks a bunch!! :thumb

[3dGameMan]

UPDATE:
Good news on the Four 1GB Corsair Flash Voyager Memory Drives. Corsair is teaming up with 3dGameMan.com and offering this giveaway for the month of May. We are still working on the rules but I believe this one will be contest based. I hope to have it posted first thing in May :Thumb

[mach250]

wow, these giveaways just keep getting better and better. Keep up the good work rod :thumb

[Kuma]

I think i will come and check every day !!! lol :lmao

[Saturn2888]

I got the fan commander. It's really cool. I chose to go with the silver bezel. The cables were hard to put in, all except the fan cables, but it's really pretty nice. I think it changes fan speed by voltage rather than with that speed changing cable for compatibility's sake, but that was making the lights on my fan blink like mad, so I just settled with full speed since it's not too loud.

For those who are wondering what Saturn2888 is referring to, it's in regards to the Ultra X-Connect 500W Power Supply (http://www.3dgameman.com/forums/showthread.php?t=36792) he won some time ago.

Hey bud, Enjoy all the gear :Thumb

[Saturn2888]

Yeah, thanks. I'm really liking it all because I recently upgraded to Athlon 64 and a DFI Lanparty mobo and a 6600GT. PCI-e graphics cards really need a 500W PSU and so does this A64 setup. If it wasn't for this contest, I'd still have my old Athlon XP hardware.

[MakubexGB]

Post some pics if u can :Thumb

[Saturn2888]

Okay, I'll do it in about a week.

[werty316]

I have the same model but the black glossy colour. You will love it. I have had mine for around 1.5-2yrs now and haven't had a problem. One question though did yours come with a 20 or 24-pin power connector. I think newer shipments are suppose to have the 24-pin power conenctor. Let us know if you can run the DFI with the 20-pin connector if that is what you got. I heard you can run a NF4 system with just using a 20-pin even though it requires a 24-pi connector. Anyhow enjoy the PSU :Thumb

Heres a pic of when I got mine.

[Saturn2888]

Yeah, how do I get a 24-pin? I have a 20 and it works, but I kinda want to utilize all the things on the mobo. Also, what's with the power supply 4-pin dealy that's on the mobo? Is it for plugging things in or something?

[werty316]

I emailed ultra a while back and they said you would have to buy one form them. I think it is unfair that I have to pay some soemthing that they should provide for free. I mean they gave out a promotional Free SATA calbe to all users who bought one that didn't have any included like myself.

I think all new board comes with a 4-pin power connector, well AMD boards anyways. Not sure about Intel boards. I think it is to give a more stable voltage on the +12V line. Your PSU should have a connector that goes in there.

[BraydenW]

So how do you sign up for these giveaway/contests? I'm just wondering because there seems to be a big one going on today. Canadian Thanksgiving by the way!

Which giveaway? :shifty

You just have to qualify for the minimum post count, post something in the thread, vote in the thread, and send an email to Rodney. That's about it.:Thumb

[slugbug]

Any chance of a Christmas giveaway this year like the one 2 yrs ago?

[3dGameMan]

Possibly, but it will not be as big as last year though. That's if I decide to have one. I'd love to do this every month but the extra work is just to much for me right now.

Bah! Humbug! We haven't had a Giveaway in a long time. :( Last year was amazing with 40 prizes! :KICK ASS

[robodude666]

Well, while we wait for a new giveaway, if ever, you can check out the Other Sites giveaways board has a number of active giveaways with many cool prizes!
