[3dGameMan]

I've asked CM for a direct link to the C3 Case. It's kinda odd, but if you do to the USA site and search it will produce a result, but the link is messed up. Kinda wacked :shifty

Yay, another goodie :thumb

Oh awesome, I could use that case :P I'm in.

I am in on this one for sure, simply awesome, Im interested in that heatsink curious how well it works ^_^

The GeminII actually works very well. It has similar performance to the Thermaltake Big Typhoon.

[Race234]

The GeminII actually works very well. It has similar performance to the Thermaltake Big Typhoon.

ya it certainly looks unique, great in a fan themed case like the good old days, I plan to recycle my water cooling system in my current rig into something else so if I win this heatsink will have to try it out on my current rig ^_^

[Amdboy89]

Those are some great products...so I'm in!!!!!

[Saturn2888]

If I win this heatsink will have to try it out on my current rig ^_^

How good is the hs?

[Race234]

dont know thats why I want to win it, so I can test it out =p

[GzussTurbo]

I am so in, it isn't even funny! I got my eye on that case! I need a good foundation to start a new build! Thanks Rodney and Cooler Master!

[Tracer]

Another awesome giveaway! I'm in! :Thumb

[Nodspy]

Count me in.

The geminII works amazingly well, keeping my core2 e6750 at 20-23c idle and 25-30c load. Thats without my fans at the highest setting.

[evil_gusgus]

In in for Sure!!! Another Great Giveaway! Hope I win either that sexy case or power supply :bananna

[peti1212]

Great prizes rodney, Please count me in. I would like the Gemini cooler if I win. But that is not for sure, so till then good luck people. :thumb

[Airmack]

I am for sure in but am a little lost of the HS.

its looks fan less but the top of it looks like it has brackets for 2 fans? Can you put a fan on it?

[Airmack]

wont let me edit my last post but after some digging it does take fans but does it needs fans?

[MonkeyMan09]

you're awsome Rodney!!!!

I'm In

[slugbug]

I am for sure in but am a little lost of the HS.

its looks fan less but the top of it looks like it has brackets for 2 fans? Can you put a fan on it?

It accepts two 120mm fans which are not included.

[MonkeyMan09]

It accepts two 120mm fans which are not included.

how much would these 2 fans be??? any Idea??

btw great give away. :thumb

[robodude666]

Not very much. Depending on the fan, you can get it for 5-20$ each. $5 for a loud fan,, $20 for a fancy quiet powerful fan. The average good fan is $10ish.

[Tivon]

Case and PSU links are not working for me.

[medic583]

Wow... reason enough to start a new system.

Thanks for the oportunity Rodney and Cooler Master :)

[Curt]

I am in for this one! yay

You killed the quote, its "and thats all I can say about that."

Well, if I happen to get enough post by then

Its not very hard. Make sure they are quality posts :thumb


The case looks cool, sorta pre-modish though. Its one of CM's cases from 2004. Wonder why they are giving it away :s The PSU is cool, but I recently bought a PSU. I guess it wouldn't hurt having a second PSU, in case I get a secondary Q6600 rig for F@H. GeminII can come in handy. I don't know why I will get LC :(!

[Empty_Quarter]

I think ill give this one a go, Im in!

Good luck to everyone :Thumb

Definitely some cool prizes, that cooler looks like a mutated alien to me XD.

I wasn't quoting anyone. I was just stating that rod's an awesome video reviewer and has awesome give aways, and I wasn't trying to suck up! I am being serious.

[evil_gusgus]

WOW i just realized there is only 1 winner!

[Saturn2888]

Oh. Well then, I guess I could always build a new rig if I won, lol! I guess I may just give away the other prizes if I win just to be nice.

[borschtBomber[SS]]

If I won, I would give away the case for sure and possibly the heatsink as well. ;)

[viperrcr]

WoW! Incredible giveaway! Rodney always pulls through!

[tookie07]

im in for sure ;)

[DemonicDerek]

Wow, 1 winner! I would like to rephrase my previous statement, Kickass/Killerass Drawings from a kickass reviewer. I would still like to state that I am not trying to kiss up in anyway (Someone has already accused me, or atleast I interpreted it that way).

[sbrehm72255]

I'm in for the contest, as always, great prizes from 3DGM

[dukeman]

awesome contest. cound me in:noway

[CoolZoneAlex]

great contest,Rod,keep it up!

[Linseman]

Wow this is an awesome giveaway! I'm kind of surprised to see there's only one winner for 3 sweet prices. I could really use a new PSU for a C2D system upgrade I have planned.

Good luck to everyone and thanks 3DGM and CoolerMaster for putting this together!!:thumb

[Race234]

;597069']If I won, I would give away the case for sure and possibly the heatsink as well. ;)

LoL, I was thinking the same thing. All I really want is the PSU! :KICKASS

[robodude666]

I will also be more than happy to take the GeminII off your hands :) I could pay for shipping if CM doesn't want to ship to multiple places.

[Saturn2888]

I called the HS first! LoL. Ha ha ha ha ha.

[Race234]

man great prizes but is it me or does CoolerMaster really like that style of case, they have so many version to what is for the most part the same case just with slightly different variation of the same shape but ya great prizes, thanks CoolerMaster and Rodney.

[tkelito]

Count me in cause I sure could use it..

I have all the parts for a new computer except for a case and PSU... unfortunately school books cost a lot of money and that always sets me back in August.

[DragonMaster]

Less than a week remaining!

[teh_masterer]

I am a bit confused as to what i need to enter the competition.

Firstly, what are quality points. Sorry but i'm new to 3Dgameman.

Secondly, Is their any way of getting delivery to England? And soes the delivery area vary vetween competitions.

I really wan't to enter, just a shame you have to live in America :(
I wouldn't mind paying for shipping if i was to win.

Please write a reply or PM me if you can help.

-teh_masterer

[DragonMaster]

Firstly, what are quality points. Sorry but i'm new to 3Dgameman.

Quality p[U]os]/U]ts? Well, it means that you need to post at least 25 messages worth reading, don't just spam the forums with useless posts like the following example :
"LOLZ dat happnd to me too ... it suXXorz"
when someone has a problem.

Secondly, Is their any way of getting delivery to England? And soes the delivery area vary vetween competitions.
3GM contests are pretty much always Canada / USA only, since the companies don't want to deal with shipping costs and other problems normally. The fact that the contest is open to Canada too is almost exceptional, since shipping costs a slightly higher price to get here.

An other reason is that the US division of companies are the ones providing giveaway products, and they don't cover your area. I heard that the European divisions don't give as much tho...

Your best bet is to fulfil all the other conditions and see. Maybe Rod will ask CoolerMaster if you get drawn.

[jiggajake]

-teh_masterer

By your name I would have thought you were have been the masterer of the Sticky or atleast the FAQ.

:)


If you only have 8 posts with less than 1 week away, don't just spam the board to try to get your count up. Just wait till the next one....as we are at giveaway 40 you can guess there will always be 41.

[elkmanwsu]

count me in too please.

Good luck to ya'll, though.

Good luck everyone :luxhello

Alright today is the day!:thumb

I just realized who ever whens today's draw is gonna start looking a lot like a CM fanboy. I still kinda wish there could be 3 winners, but one winner makes it a whole lot easier for CM to ship.

Anyway good luck everyone!

[Kindom934]

[ComLogical]

hehe...no posts yet. He just might have already emailed rodney without posting on the forums though.

Just like those guys that win the big lottery... they don't show their faces for a long time.
I know I want to hang out with Airmack and his new cool toys, maybe he'll even give me some of them.

[robodude666]

I've noticed that the last few winners are people who aren't around when the contest ends and winners are announced. Weird =/

If Airmack doesn't take his prizes within a week, I guess rodney will email him to let him know. He probably didn't think he'd win.

OH! I know, to win a contest you need to believe you won't win. Then, when the contest is over wait a week or two before checking. =D I'll try that strategy for the next one :Thumb

[peti1212]

[Saturn2888]

LOL! No one really thinks they're gonna win unless there are a bunch of prizes and only a few people entering.

[Empty_Quarter]

Oh snap, a winner has been picked already?! I gotta follow up on threads like these more often =\

Anyway, congrats airmack! enjoy the super great prizes!

Makes me wonder sometimes how many members join just to take part in the giveaway.

[slugbug]

I think Rod should email airmack(if he hasn't already) and if he doesn't claim his prize by tomorrow morning(7days) then pick another winner.

[z33k3r]

Emails start flowing the day that the member wins... trust me, Rod makes many contact attempts before re-declaring a winner!

[AJ]

Emails start flowing the day that the member wins... trust me, Rod makes many contact attempts before re-declaring a winner!

I dont think that's fair for the rest of us though. The rules clearly state that the winner has seven days to claim their prize(s). I know Rodney is a great guy and will make lots of attempts to contact the winner if he or she aren't aware of it, but rules are rules right?

I recall a couple giveaways back the winner still got their prize even thought they didn't claim it within seven days. Not trying to start anything, just saying :Wink

Thats usually what ends up happening lol.

Dibs on his prize! LOL

Hope he does claim it.....some good products there.

More Goodies! :hail

[peti1212]

He only has one more day to claim the prize. Hope het claims it or else there will be a redraw. It is good for some people that do want those things, like me, but it is bad for him.

[nilzxx]

I think Rod e-mails the winner right away and also gives him warnings if he doesn't respond. I guess he entered a wrong e-mail address, or one he doesn't use, to prevent spam. Well, I think it's his fault. Somebody else should get this amazing prize. So good luck! ...again :thumb

[robodude666]

No reply from him yet? Bummer :( Its been like 5 days so far.

In his profile it says hes a college student. Its that time of year again. Hes probably moving to his dorm or too busy with classes and stuff. I added him on AIM. If I see him, I'll send an IM.

He hasn't been on 3GM since the 23rd of august.

Can't wait for the next contest. I won't win so I won't check the site =D

[Race234]

oooh so there could be a new winner drawn, tell you what Im a nice guy if I win I will send him the case, I will keep the power supply and heatsink ^_^

[a111087]

oooh so there could be a new winner drawn, tell you what Im a nice guy if I win I will send him the case, I will keep the power supply and heatsink ^_^

I would send him that heatsink and my old case with PSU :lmao

[MakubexGB]

Woah, no price claim yet? That was unexpected.

Maybe there's still some hope for the rest of us. :Blah

[Kindom934]

For the rest of you that is, I didn't participate in this XD

Why? Well...I could use an O2 sensor along with some other engine components...

[Race234]

I would send him that heatsink and my old case with PSU :lmao

ah well see I like that heatsink and want to try it out but hey if you win and dont want the heatsink I will surely be happy to take it off your hands ^_^

[a111087]

what i really need is a case, then psu, but i would definitely give the heatsink to someone else

[Saturn2888]

Oh snap, a winner has been picked already?! I gotta follow up on threads like these more often =\

Anyway, congrats airmack! enjoy the super great prizes!



By believing you wont win, you are believing that you will win :sweat

Makes me wonder sometimes how many members join just to take part in the giveaway.

I don't believe that. Not to sound arrogant, but each giveaway I won, I think 2 or 3, I've forgotten, but the ones I won, I had a feeling I'd win. Especially on that 40 prizes one.

[peti1212]

Man, it sucks so much when you lose your prize becauase the time is up I believe. It is already September 8th here and 7 days had already passed, and a few hours already and no confimation? Hmmm, I bet you guys Rodney will give him a few more days. :)

Not to be greedy or anything, but the rules say that there is a redraw if 7 days pass and there is no winner.

[slugbug]

I'm truly amazed at the number of people on the various forums who totally forget to come back to see if they've won or not.

One forum had 15 prizes to give away and only six people claimed them. They just had a redraw for the remaining prizes and so far only 2 of us have claimed those.

I truly think that some people don't read the rules properly and expect to be emailed if they do win.

[Race234]

but in this case they are emailed so whats there excuse then???

other then oh it went into my spam folder lol

I truly think that some people don't read the rules properly and expect to be emailed if they do win.

Exactly. And thats why I feel if 7 days passed, oh well. Tough Luck for them.

You shouldn't have to be emailed to be told you won. It should be the winners responsibility to check the website and forums to find out who the winners are.

If the pickup dead line passed and they were emailed/pm'd and they STILL don't pick up their prizes, then sucks to be them.

It might sound mean of me to say this, but rules are rules. The staff has better things to do than run around and try to catch you.

Speaking of which, 7 days already passed.

Now you guys get what I'm saying. It's not fair for the rest of us that actually come here every day and are active. I think Rodney should make a "25 posts minimum" each month to be able to participate in giveaways. That will more than likely eliminate most of these problems.

There already is a minimum amount of posts required.

[DemonicDerek]

I mean if you sign up for a prize and you win it but you are too lazy to e-mail your info to rodney then tough luck I mean seriously give the people who lost the drawing a chance!

[Race234]

well I say it should be up to 50 post for a min, but I can understand Rodney's reasons for a 25 post min.

[DragonMaster]

There already is a minimum amount of posts required.

To post after making part of the contest or simply to have at least 25 intelligible posts since subscription?

[AJ]

There already is a minimum amount of posts required.

That's on 3GM all together. Not in a month.

You must also have at least 25 quality forum posts on 3dGameMan.com.

I'm talking about a minimum post count each month.

[superdoughboy4]

Oh. Each month.
Well, not all of us can come here and post 25 "intelligent 5 paragraph" posts.

[Race234]

actually 25 post a month would be real simple to do and still we non spam related post.

Conversations like the ones we are having here for example, but having that as a requirement would be far harder to monitor and inform and well would be a waste of resources and time.

[Tivon]

Well.... we try to be nice.. but the days are ticking away here.

Actually, it shouldn't be too hard. Other sites do this kind of stuff all the time. All it does is make sure active members win the prize. I dont mean to be greedy or anything. I just find it annoying when this happens.

I know it'd be easy; I did it. Lol
Just making users having a req. to be active members is ridiculous as not everyone can come here everyday and converse.

I dont know, 25 posts isn't really asking much in a month. But whatever, it's up to Rodney. It's his website after all :Thumb

Which contest are you talking about Slugy?

[peti1212]

Which contest are you talking about Slugy?

And I also totally agree with all of you guys about the requirements.

[peti1212]

oh, oppsie guys, sorry for tripple posting, but I accidently messed up and put quote because I though it was edit, but I just figured that you cannot edit posts in contest threads. Sorry again for tripple posting.

[borschtBomber[SS]]

he's talking about Tagan's forums. Had a great giveaway and a bunch of prizes went unclaimed.

[robodude666]

;602868']he's talking about Tagan's forums. Had a great giveaway and a bunch of prizes went unclaimed.

huh.. wow. So many prizes and two drawings. And I still didn't win, :lmao.

[slugbug]

Yes I was talking about Tagan's forum.

[peti1212]

Haha, same here Robodude666. I guess we do not have the luck at that site. :)

[Race234]

what do you mean lol Robo has won like 2-3 contest so far

I have yet to win in any contest I have entered, aside from the X-Mas Giveaway here on 3gm but the odds were in my favor on that one.

[MakubexGB]

Haha, same here Robodude666. I guess we do not have the luck at that site. :)

That makes three of us. :Sigh

Not talking about 3GM. I am talking about the Tagan Forums contest. They had sooo many prizes and not that many winners. Odds of winning were fairly good. Especially with two drawings. And i'm not even going to mention PC Apex and their september contest.

Maybe not that much : You look which persons fulfils the other conditions, you draw someone, and then look if the person posted 25 intelligent posts. If not, pick someone else... You at least don't check every single person's posts this way.

Well Rodney does that now anyways.

[DragonMaster]

Except that now if he knows that people already posted 25 posts since they subscribed, he doesn't have to check them, unlike if everyone had to post 25 posts after taking part to each giveaways.

[nilzxx]

This is sad. If you don't plan on claiming your prize, why bother signing up for it?? People who want to win this great stuff never win. But I agree that thwe post count should be 25 each month, since that would make those people more active here. It really is not that hard to make 6 posts a week. I spend like 15-30 minutes a day on this site, but I post around 3-10 times a day...

[DemonicDerek]

I got an idea... Can rodney just pick a new winner already? Lol, not meant to be harsh, but I really want to win A drawing.

[DemonicDerek]

Sorry for double post, but I just realized that I am a Long Dong 3gm member, lol it just sounds so weird... Long Dong. :lmao

[nilzxx]

I got an idea... Can rodney just pick a new winner already? Lol, not meant to be harsh, but I really want to win A drawing.

Lol, who wouldn't want to win this drawing! And 6 months does not make you a "Long Dong" member. And around 130 posts is really not a lot. I joined in February and I'm not concidering myself as a "Long Dong" member.
I think Rodney is giving airmack some more time, since he is probably moving into his College and he probably does not have the time to go on the internet.
:wavey

Ok if you look right below my name it says "3gm Long Dong Member" I just thought that the name was funny though.

I thought you wanted to call yourself an active member with such a weird name.
Anyways, lets not spam this thread up. :tantrum

[peti1212]

I don't want to be harsh either, but I do agree with DemonicDerek. A new winner should be picked from all the active people, because it seems like people nowadays just don't bother checking back to the site.

[AJ]

I agree. The initial winner did not respond by the deadline given so a new winner should be picked. But I guess rules were meant to be broken, eh? lol :smash

Oooooooooh no no no no no no I am not an active member by any means. Lol.

[Tivon]

The only reason anyone is posting in this thread is because they want that chance to win. Lets say we change the Rules to something that sends Tivon the unclaimed goods. I don't think you all would have much to say if that was the case. Sounds like a pretty good Rule if you ask me. ;)

[peti1212]

So seriously, what are we waiting for now? Does Rodney know that he has to pick another winner? I haven't seen Rodney around for a while now. Wierd.

[Race234]

guys chill out lol he is pretty busy you know, between the site and his family, he could have had something come up of more importance that is taking up his time right now. the prizes arent going anywhere anytime soon... not like you guys are paying money for this.

[robodude666]

So seriously, what are we waiting for now? Does Rodney know that he has to pick another winner? I haven't seen Rodney around for a while now. Wierd.

If you look on the front page and review section, you would notice he was busy on a review. Although it was a written review, it still takes time.

Rodney will get to the contest soon :) Just give him time to breathe.

[peti1212]

Sorry guys, I am not trying to be greedy or mad at anybody. I just phrased my sentence in a bad way. :shifty

[Tivon]

Alright.... Rodney, have we waited long enough? We are now killing Septembers Giveaway!

Might I add we should find something cool for October, are there any supporters with blood mods?

[3dGameMan]

Yep, I will get September's giveaway up later today.

I will give Airmack a couple of more days, after that I will pick another winner.

[robodude666]

w00t! Few more days till new winner. I emailed Airmack a few times, and I added him on aim. Hasn't come on yet :Nope

Can't wait for september's giveaway. Wonder what it will be!

[Race234]

cool cool ^_^

[3dGameMan]

w00t! Few more days till new winner. I emailed Airmack a few times, and I added him on aim. Hasn't come on yet :Nope

I also emailed him, so it's not for lack of trying :shifty

[robodude666]

Seems hes simply not at the computer. Hopefully nothing serious happened and he's alright.

Couple more days it is :) It worked a few times before.

Ok two things wrong:

1. You B_ _ _ _ rd how could you e-mail him a few times, god your suppose to be greedy! Lol...jk.

2. Also you say he's not on the computer, you supposedly act friendly towards airmack. I think you murdered him! murderer!!! lol...once again jk.

spammage? jp.

1) I don't want the stuff. I mean, if I win, great! I can use the heatsink and review & sell the other stuff... But its not like im greedy and want it. I don't care who wins. I just want someone to win and claim it. Heck, I don't care if rodney says he wins, or if tivon changes the rules and wins.

2) Well, I mean.. If he isn't checking 3GM, or his email. Or sign on AIM, hes probably not at his computer. Takes a few seconds to see if you got any important email. If you see an email saying "YOU WON 3GM #40!!! GO CLAIM NOW - RODNEY" then you will take a few seconds out of your day and read it and then go "omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg" the rest of the day. Why am I helping rodney and airmack out? Because he won and he should get the prize. Of we did all we can, and he still doesn't claim then sucks to be him. As for murder, I didn't kill anyone. My attempt failed. :shifty :cool_shad Tivon did it! :smokin He got a jesus shaped body and put Airmack's into it.

Technically, yes lol. But I think Rodney is still giving you a chance. ;)

[JustinEss]

omg omg omg i won... am i to late?@?@?@!?@!?!?!?!?

You're late... but since Rod is nice, you're not too late.
Enjoy your prizes!

[Airmack]

Yes as I stated in the email to Mr 3dgameman him self

My brother in law is expecting his first
Mom got this new dog I been helping her with
Wife got a new car
Very good friend of ours was in a bind, had to help her out

I cant freaking believe it..

I can remember what I won! I have to go back & look!

[Airmack]

Im am sorry for the double post but this will work sweet for me.

I have been saving for a new pc since mine is on a slow death march.

This will save me $$$ & my marriage for sure.. ( by marriage I mean I told my wife its going to cost me $1500 for my pc & she freaked )

[Race234]

lol those are as good as "My dog ate my homework" =p

Congrats :Thumb

[Airmack]

I do not know what to expect.. He asked for my phone #... Does he call? That would be bad ass in it self.

I should ask him to sign the psu.

[robodude666]

omg omg omg i won... am i to late?@?@?@!?@!?!?!?!?

Hmmm.. What was the reaction I mentioned in my previous post?

If you see an email saying "YOU WON 3GM #40!!! GO CLAIM NOW - RODNEY" then you will take a few seconds out of your day and read it and then go "omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg" the rest of the day.

Ahhh, right. Very similar to Airmack's!

Congrats to your brother in law :cool_shad. ZEEK and Rodney can fill him in on what to expect.
Congrats to your mom and her new doggie :) He, she? What breed?
Congrats to your wife on the new car! What car?
Very kind of you to help out a friend :)

I can believe that you came. Seems when rodney says "i'll give him a few more days" they come and claim their prize(s) in a few hours/a day. :KICK ASS

I don't think Rodney calls. He hasn't called me yet :( Would be sick if he did. The phone number is for the shipping company and sponsor. They require a number so they can call you in case there are complications like wrong address, etc.

I am for sure going to have to take screen shots of my new build.

I was just sitting watching TV thinking about turning on my pc to check email but my pc runs for about 10min then locks. I was so tired of resetting it that I was just not going to get on it. Good thing I did!

I have a 9800 pro & the fan will just stop spinning on the heat sink & I think the card heats up & just locks my pc up.
