I'm in :) I recently bought TT TP 850w, but this one wouldn't hurt.

"- There will be one (2) winners. Winners have 7 days to claim their prize(s)."

One winner or not one winner, that is the question :Thumb
P.S. Poll is private ;)

EDIT: Poll is gone :S

:thumb

[Race234]

Im in... ^_^

but wierd I posted before Robo did and then the thread went away and then it came back and he then posted and I had to repost... what happened?

Ehh either way with two winners thats awesome and the fact that this is a modular PSU would work out sooo much better in my FEAR case then my current PSU, I could put something in the top bay instead of bunching all the extra psu cables there.

REMINDER TO THE NEW FOLKS: Please read the rules, otherwise you may not be eligible.

[WE-DeusEx*2001]

im in. i can really use a new power supply...mine is only 350watts!!

[Race234]

Rodney is there a way to confirm that an email was received because the fact that I never won a contest with the exception of the X-Mas Giveaway. I wonder if I may have been submitting them wrong, I dont think so as I followed those instructions. But it would be nice to be sure, just this one time, if you got it this time then you have been getting them in the past so I know Im doing it right. ^_^

I dont expect you to have to do this as other members will probably start bugging you for the same reason =p

[Tracer]

I'm in...again! Always great prizes....WTG Rodney! :thumb

[DefconZero]

YAY 1kw PSU! Always a good thing to have, even though I'm yet to have the specs that need it :P. So I'm definitely in.

[AJ]

WOOT! I'm in. Awesome prizes AND two winners! :thumb

[slugbug]

Count me in :)

[MakubexGB]

Oh man, people just keep dangling Power Supplies in front of me! I need one! Gimme!

Ahem... count me in please. :sweat

[JustinEss]

Well considering I'm running off a 300W PSU, which is at the breaking point... I'm in! Plus one of these would be nice when I build me a new rig.

[theforcemother]

great giveaway im in

[Lesser]

I'm in too. Good luck all

[Davis]

I'm in! I've got a 250 watt psu right now so it would be a HUGE upgrade. Good luck to everyone :Thumb

[TONYTHETIGER916]

I could definately use this prize

[kript]

Reminds me of a race car, pretty. :) I'm in.

[David32]

Count me in! I could really use this for my first build. I should be doing that pretty soon, and this will be a great prize to win and include in my first upcoming build.

[DemonicDerek]

Oh magical random drawing gods, can you pleeeeeeeease let me win a www.3dgameman.com drawing?

Man a 1k watt powersupply and two winners. Are the drawings getting better and better or what?

I will be sad if Rodney replies to my e-mail to him asking if I have to be 18 or not and says that I have to be 18 in order to win. That would suck! It's like torture on a month to month basis that says "Ha ha you can't have any cause ur not 18". Why is it that everything free must be given to 18 or older people, I mean with the amount of free time they have they wouldn't use it as much as us kids... lol.

[DemonicDerek]

No offense, people of age of majority.

Sorry for double post.

[DemonicDerek]

Sorry for triple post, but I can't edit my posts. However:

I just noticed that he upped the post requirement number from 25 to 30! Gasp!

[Race234]

yup and editing in the contest page has been disabled for record reasons unless your a CM then you can still edit your post. ^_^

[viperrcr]

Oh yeah, I'm definately in on this one! Who couldn't use a 1kW P/S?!?!?! :banana

[robodude666]

Sorry for triple post, but I can't edit my posts. However:

I just noticed that he upped the post requirement number from 25 to 30! Gasp!

So, your saying you signed up for the contest before reading the contest rules? GASP!! How dear you! =P

[DemonicDerek]

yup and editing in the contest page has been disabled for record reasons unless your a CM then you can still edit your post. ^_^

Oh well it gives me a reason to spam...Jk most of my posts are somewhat intelligent.

[DemonicDerek]

So, your saying you signed up for the contest before reading the contest rules? GASP!! How dear you! =P

How dear I! Jeez never thought you would through a greeting at me! lol.:Wink I have't completed registration because I want to get an answer on the age limit question from Rodney!

[robodude666]

How dear I! Jeez never thought you would through a greeting at me! lol.:Wink I have't completed registration because I want to get an answer on the age limit question from Rodney!

Simply read the rules. Does not talk about age what so ever, therefore, you can conclude with your non-excluded 14yr/o intelligence that you can enter. If you are not allowed to enter because you are too young you can simply say it was not in the rules when I signed up and that it did not say 3GM has the right to change rules without notice. :Thumb

I know he doesn't mention it but I want him to so I know if I should bother going through the process of entering. As a rigorus task as it its! :KICK ASS However if I signed up and he didn't picked me how could I know if he rigged it?

[DemonicDerek]

Not that he would do that...:shifty

Sorry for double post, Ok but do I even have to say that because I can't edit it!?!?!?!

[JustinEss]

Quite a few contests you can enter says something along the lines of 'If you're under 18, someone who is above the age of majority may claim the prize for you.'
Anyways, back on topic.

[medic583]

Wow... that PS is freakin' huge... :)

Hmm... definately count me in :)

[borschtBomber[SS]]

[medic583]

It's a line from a very bad music video.

Haha... We Are The Universe... definately an interesting song :)

[killergame0]

I agree it sucks if you have to be 18 i would love to take this to school and show my computer construction and networking class if i win this

[DemonicDerek]

Haha... We Are The Universe... definately an interesting song :)

lol, I used the search on you tube for a video, but I got a video that all it has is the audio...

All i have to say is WTF? sorry Tivon, I know you hate that word but when I listened to the 20 seconds that I did listen to it was just kinda random. Then I heard your signature in the song.

[DemonicDerek]

Killergame0 what highschool do you go to, and is the madison that is listed in your location in wisconsin?

[killergame0]

no im in eau claire i go to north high but what about madison

[GzussTurbo]

These contests always make me giddy! Thanks Rodney!

[killergame0]

First one realy hope i win

[Saturn2888]

Wow, never thought I'd say this, but I outran my 600W OCZ PSU so I am in need of an upgrade. Good timing :P. That is, if I win. But yeah, it's nice to see the giveaways still going. I remember when we didn't even HAVE monthly giveaways.

Always helpin' out the 3GM community eh? Thanks Rod!

[supra33202]

hehe....I am in.

Thanks!

Heheh Seriously.
Thanks a mess load Rodney.
Oh, and if my previous post didn't give out this message;
I'm in.

[DemonicDerek]

I swear I must have e-mailed rodney twice about, the 18 or under question. He still hasn't answered, I know that he is busy but could he take 5 minutes to just say, you must be 18 or older, or an IDK would suffice. Tivon, could you ask 3DGameman if he even recieves e-mails from me? I would just like to know if he even gets them.

[DemonicDerek]

I just e-mailed a third, this time it was attached to th e-mail I have to send in order to sign up for the contest.

[AJ]

I just e-mailed a third, this time it was attached to th e-mail I have to send in order to sign up for the contest.

Give him some time. Also, on the 18 or older thing, dont worry about it. Many "underage" kids have won stuff here before. If there was a problem with age limitations he would have stated it in the rules. And if you keep on asking, there will be a problem lol :lmao ;)

[JustinEss]

I just e-mailed a third, this time it was attached to th e-mail I have to send in order to sign up for the contest.

He's a busy man, give him some time. Patience is a virtue my friend.

[SirKiwi]

Sweetness! I always wanted to try out an Antec power supply... KICKASS :Thumb

[DemonicDerek]

Give him some time. Also, on the 18 or older thing, dont worry about it. Many "underage" kids have won stuff here before. If there was a problem with age limitations he would have stated it in the rules. And if you keep on asking, there will be a problem lol :lmao ;)

Third times the charm, and third attempt was the last I was going to ask. However, I don't think 5 min to type "yes you have to be 18 or No you can be whatever age or IDK" is much to ask of a person, no matter how busy you are. On the third I used all my strength to be as nice as possible without sounding like a suckup.

He's a busy man, give him some time. Patience is a virtue my friend.

I know he is a busy man. Patience is indeed a virtue, as of which I have. There is variability on the amount I have. In this situation I don't think 5 min is all that much to ask of a guy to respond to 1 e-mail (the other two he can just delete).

[ComLogical]

Rodney,
Pimp my Rig!

[Airmack]

who really needs 1000watts???

[DragonMaster]

In! (So I could quit using F@H and start using Cool'n'Quiet for once -> My computer crashes when idling with that PSU/MB combination)

[Race234]

DemonicDerek To answer your question NO you dont have to be 18 to enter these contest, I think the min age was something like 13 years of age for legal reasons, there have been a few past winners that were not 18 years of age so Im sure its okay not to mention he would have stated that in the rules.

[DemonicDerek]

Rodney just e-mailed me as well his response he said *clears throat*...dramatic pause... "No you don't have to be 18" So that is sweet.

[Tivon]

who really needs 1000watts???

What a silly question to ask when it's a FREE POWER SUPPLY!

*Tivon clears throat*
PLEASE STAY ON TOPIC! THIS IS NOT OFF-TOPICS!

[DemonicDerek]

Tivon by any chance was that a remark ment towards me on the *Clears throat* joke.

[werty316]

Its always good to have lots 'o power.

[peti1212]

Awsome Contest Rodney. Please Count Me in.

The more power the more stable your computer is basicly. :)

[Tivon]

Tivon by any chance was that a remark ment towards me on the *Clears throat* joke.

No, didn't notice your post until you said something. Must have been processed as background static or what you could call as "Psychological Impression". Normally I use, "*Tivon steps up to the Podium.", but the other voice sounded better at the time.

Anyway.... :Wink

[SAMSAMHA]

awesome prizes these 2 psus.

[=CDU=Above]

Just look at that thing. It's a monster.




I like it!!! Please consider me for the win.

[Enigmachine]

Hey, *I* need 1000 Watts! To... you know... impress chicks. :)

My brand new machine actually only needs 480 W so unless you have a raid array and SLI you probably don't need that much power. But you never know what you're going to win next! :Thumb

And I like the racing stripes! Simple, unique and evocative. That's art baby! Sweet!

[Squeeze]

i'm in :) good giveaway!

[americankid]

im in on this one!

[Zenphic]

Wicked cool power supply. Count me in!

[CoolZoneAlex]

great contest Rod!and also good we have 2 winners!

[mji]

I am so in because I need a new power supply.

[Race234]

^^^ okay what I have said was slightly off-topic but now what you guys are going into is way off topic and will only result in further back and forth bashing so I would recommend just dropping this little side conversation or picking it back up through PMs. :Beer

[Tivon]

PLEASE STAY ON TOPIC! :shifty

[rsolo57]

'Jumps on this train'

Always liked the modular design and Antec is topnotch. Thanks to Rod I've got a better chance here than at the local Powerball.

[Race234]

yay TWO WEEKS remaining :luxhello

[elkmanwsu]

Count me in too. This is a really useful prize for a powerful gaming rig.

This will be perfect for my new rig when pci-e 2.0 is available.

Plus its a really reliable PSU I'm sure.

Thanks for another great contest Rod!

[superdoughboy4]

Why did Rodney change it from 1x 1000W and 1x 850W to 2x 1000W?

[DemonicDerek]

Why did Rodney change it from 1x 1000W and 1x 850W to 2x 1000W?

Because he didn't, it was always 2x 1k Watt. But man am I anxious to see who wins. I hope I get one!:spin! 2 weeks. Only 8 days from halo 3 man does this month kick ass.

I am doing something where I am messaging my friends the # of days to halo 3 in binary code, and a code that mathematically adds up to the dads, I just made that one up on the spot:

8 days:

Binary: 1000 days

Halo 3 made up code: 332 (3+3+2 = 8)

[Tivon]

Why did Rodney change it from 1x 1000W and 1x 850W to 2x 1000W?

Ahh.. far as I know it's been 2x 1000 Watter's the whole time. :Thumb

[tkelito]

I can't say no, I need a case and PSU at the moment. Looking to finish this HTPC. Wootsauce.

[zachig]

WOW!!! A 1000W PSU!!! :shocking I'm definitely in! :Thumb

It was...?
Oh.. Rofl That video review must've mixed me up.

[nilzxx]

This is one SIIIICK PSU. I'll pass though, since I don't need that much power. I just recently got a xion psu with only 600W, but that is enough for me. I'm not thinking of getting two 8800s in SLI, so I'll leave this great giveaway to those who need a 1000W PSU. Good Luck to all participants!!!

[jbdub17]

im in!
I really need this since i have 450watt an that is sad for todays standards

[eire1274]

It's been a while since I've tried for one of these... and it turns out that I'll need a high-powered PSU in the next few months... so I'm in. Let's hope Antec has upped their game, as they've pissed me off the last times I've used their products.

[Empty_Quarter]

o.O! 1KW Antec TruePower Quattro FOR A GIVEAWAY!!!!

now one, BUT TWO!!!

Oh, I am so in :Thumb!

[Race234]

Woot 10 More Days ^_^

[WORMSS]

Arrg, always the same, Must be a resident of USA..

UK never gets any cool stuff!

[Race234]

ehh there are plenty of UK review sites that offer prizes that us that are state-side cant enter either so ya.... ;)

[werty316]

Arrg, always the same, Must be a resident of USA..

UK never gets any cool stuff!
It can work both ways too.

[Linseman]

Sweet deal! An Antec 1000W modular PSU this thing looks fantastic!! *drools*

I'm using an Earthwatts 430W unit from Antec right now and it is very quiet and efficient but I could definitely use an upgrade from this rather plain, non modular PSU.

And 2 winners!? Even better odds! I'm very pumped for this giveaway, good luck everyone.

[Saturn2888]

ehh there are plenty of UK review sites that offer prizes that us that are state-side cant enter either so ya.... ;)

Really? Wow. Sucks then for those UK members who love this site. It's not Rod's fault though, so you can't blame anyone.

[SAMSAMHA]

not sure if I entered, so here is another post.

Anetc finally has gotten the 1kw psu. it takes them long enoug.

[Curt]

I am in!

best of luck to all

[Saturn2888]

Hmm... I'll be out of town when Rod does the drawing. PSU Right? Man... I can't wait. I haven't been this excited about a giveaway since the last time I was really posting on the forums :P.

[robodude666]

Whoa, I just noticed there are *checks calendar* 6 days left. Good luck =D I can't wait to find out who wins!


I think you'll be back home before the winner is picked.

[Kona]

Nice power supply.................

[Race234]

5 Days Left :luxhello:luxhello:luxhello:luxhello:luxhello

[Twisted_Metal]

Awesome powersupply .... 1000 :o

[Hyper Smurf]

wow, its been ages since i visited this site...

last time was last x-mas for that give away.

im gonna skip on this one seeing how ive already won something during the previous x-mas giveaway, so GL to everyone :)

[airvine91]

I'm in. First contest for me. Hopefully I'll win.

[Deus_Ex_Machina]

The new Antec power supplies = FTW.

I am in.

[airvine91]

How does this contest even work anyhow? A random draw?

I wished it was like an essay contest or something. That way the best man would win based on skill and not the luck of the draw.

[peti1212]

Yes it is a random drawing!

And only 2 more days a a few hours left. :) :Thumb

[peti1212]

Actually 3, that's what I meant. Sorry for double posting.

[superdoughboy4]

How does this contest even work anyhow? A random draw?

I wished it was like an essay contest or something. That way the best man would win based on skill and not the luck of the draw.

Best man for what? It wouldn't be fair to those that have an impairment in something such as writing.
A lucky draw is fair for everyone that enters, not just some people.

[slugbug]

Good luck everyone :)

[SAMSAMHA]

good luck guys. man, I hope I win. Just happens that my PSU has died on me today:(. Took out my UPS as well. The PSU would sure come in handy.

[David32]

Wow this month went kinda of fast for me, 2 days away. Good luck to you all.

[airvine91]

Best man for what? It wouldn't be fair to those that have an impairment in something such as writing.
A lucky draw is fair for everyone that enters, not just some people.

Too bad for the people too slow to write something. I guess school didn't work out quite well for them.

But at least there would be some work involved and you can somewhat determine your odds.

Hey, it should be tried at least once to see how it works.

[werty316]

Is anyone surprised by the current odds? They are ususally over 100 when a prize is of this calibur.

[AJ]

Is anyone surprised by the current odds? They are ususally over 100 when a prize is of this calibur.

Shhhhhhhh!!! Don't jinx it! :Blah

[Race234]

lol yes hush hush lol

anyhow 2 more days ^_^

[Tivon]

Wow! So Many people have signed on for these Power Supplies, guess I'll win next time when we have better odds of winning, what a shame... heh

[Race234]

well tomorrows the last day to enter then the drawing, woot cant wait, I could so you a modular power supply, its cramped in a SFF case with a normal psu.

[MakubexGB]

1 more day! :hyper

[airvine91]

1 more day to hear that someone other than me one! Oh boy, I can't wait!

[killergame0]

haha cant wait to see who wins

[airvine91]

Stupid me, I posted "one" rather than won. Boy, I oughta get more sleep.

[Race234]

well remember there will be 2 winners so the odds dont look so bad ^_^

[JustinEss]

Lets do some simple math! 66/2=33 *GASP* odds are 1 in 33

I think my PSU is on it's last legs, looks like it's causing BSoDs! I ran memtest no errors, so it looks to be the PSU, plus it's 12V rail reading is 9.25v

[slugbug]

Better odds than winning the lottery :)
Good luck everyone :Thumb

[mji]

1 more day

[SirKiwi]

w00ts. I actually forgot that I signed up for this competition.
Crossing my fingers once again. :banana

[eire1274]

...plus it's 12V rail reading is 9.25v

Whoah! Anything under 11 is asking for trouble!

1 in 33, huh? Too bad for me, I never win unless the odds are really good, like 1 in 1. :bangcomp

[Race234]

Whoah! Anything under 11 is asking for trouble!

1 in 33, huh? Too bad for me, I never win unless the odds are really good, like 1 in 1. :bangcomp

So that means winner will be picked after 11:59:59.999PM sharp? :shifty Or after the ~4:30PM close time of the poll?

I will probably pick two winners tomorrow :Thumb

[=CDU=Above]

I will probably pick two winners tomorrow :Thumb
Good luck gentlemen.

[peti1212]

Good luck guys. Two very lucky people will win these awsome power supplies. 1000Watts will be enough for everybody for a few years. :)

[americankid]

GL 2 Every1!

[Vantz]

whew..... just barely making the deadline. Oh how sweet this PSU would be in a new build

[werty316]

Good luck everyone :thumb

[JustinEss]

Only hours left! Good luck to all! 'Tis a sweet PSU.

[robodude666]

Only hours left! Good luck to all! 'Tis a sweet PSU.

More like 16-24 hours...

[Race234]

oh cant wait, this is ideal for my current build its modular and the right power wattage and standards ^_^


Good Luck Everyone... especially me, hehe =p

[DefconZero]

So it's now the 1st, winners? :O.

[Race234]

lol not that soon, its not the first for everyone in the states, Rodney waits until later in the day so that it becomes the first for most people before picking the winners.

I still have 2.5hrs until its the first here. ^_^

It will be closer to mid-day or night on the 1st when the winners will be announced.

[robodude666]

Yup, as I said before, Rodney generally picks either between 10am to 2pm or 8pm to 11pm.

[eire1274]

Geez, I was hoping for firm rejection, but it hasn't been hit yet! :lmao

I am prepared to be rejected tomorrow, then! http://c1.vse.lv/img/smiles/SmileySuicide.gif

[viperrcr]

I keep hitting the refresh button...Still no winners...Arrrggghh! :)

My right index finger is taking a beating!

Can't wait!

[peti1212]

Well, we will all know in a few hours, if not minutes. :) :Thumb

Just noticed after I posted, but hey there always next time....lol :luxhello

[airvine91]

Its already 2:15 eastern and still no winners! The anticipation is rising!

[robodude666]

Well, Rodney has made a few posts in other threads :) So we know he is online. Its just a matter of seconds/minutes/hours now. :spin

[airvine91]

Grrr, he is just taking his time! Does he know that there are many people who want a 1k watt psu?!?!?!?

[borschtBomber[SS]]

lol, you guys are cracking me up....patience is a virtue ;)

[robodude666]

;607074']lol, you guys are cracking me up....patience is a virtue ;)

There you go! Just wait :) Have a cup of tea or something. Rodney has a ton of other things to do. Your 1kW PSU could wait a few more hours.

And, based on the last few giveaways, i've noticed that if you wait a week+ before checking you have a greater chance of winning :spin

[eire1274]

;607074']lol, you guys are cracking me up....patience is a virtue ;)

I'm going to work. Call me if I win... :rofl2 Just kidding.

[JustinEss]

The suspense is killing me! Just need something to take my mind off of it.

[werty316]

In time people,... in time...

[MakubexGB]

Patience is a virtue... ;)

[robodude666]

Since we are using virtue a lot, I thought it would be cool to have this little quote:

Voila! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you, and you may call me V.

From one of my favorite movies :) Very well done :Thumb

[Race234]

that movie is great but although I own it I will probably never watch it ever again...

[airvine91]

I must say though that I am quite fortunate to have an oportunity to win a wonderful PSU with only 1 in 35 odds. What other site does this? Well goodluck all.

[Tivon]

Maybe he went out for some Icecream and got lost in the Hardware store? :KICK ASS

He needs it more than anyone. You try cramming that amount of cables into a SFF case. A modular power supply is very helpful for his latest FEAR build.

Omg Omg Omg Omg Omg Omg Omg Omg Omg

He's pretty much done with it anyway.
80% is pretty far long.

[robodude666]

He's pretty much done with it anyway.
80% is pretty far long.

He needs to redo wire management anyways because he has to take out tray for a new video card as onboard sucks. And wire management is easier when you only have like 3/7 cables you actually need.

[Race234]

yes this power supply is going straight to my SFF Build, so that I will have better airflow and can mount a temp monitor in the top bay instead of shoving all those extra cables into that bay, the PSU that was in that build is being put back into my HBD build. ^_^

WOOT WOOT WOOT

That's sad... your one of our long term members. I don't think you have ever won anything yet? :(
Maybe Santa Rodney could put in a good word for you at the north pole this year. :)

[viperrcr]

Congrats Tivon and Race234! :jawsdown

You just would a wicked power supply. I'm actually quite jealous. Anyone wanna trade for my NZXT Adamas I won in giveaway #36?! Hah, anyway, I thought Race had won an earlier giveaway, you're a lucky guy I guess.

Enjoy those PSU's boys!:thumb

Boourns, this contest was rigged boourns hehe jk :lmao

Congrats Tivon and Race234 you lucky guys you :Thumb

[GzussTurbo]

CONGRATS RACE AND TIVON! Just so I know I am doing this right, that initial email we send just has to be a blank email with the contest name as the header and thats it? nothing written in the email? even though I'll say hi or something, but what I'm asking is, we don't need to give our info in that initial email right?

[JustinEss]

I doubt it, but I put my forum username in just to be safe.

[nilzxx]

CONGRATS Race234 & Tivon!!! The mighty Tivon has done it again:hail. Enjoy your 1kW PSUs! Dont forget to post some pictures :Wink

All you need to really do is send a blank email with the given subject. Rodney can just cross check the email account to the email associated with your forum account.

your old power supply's are belong to us.

[DemonicDerek]

You know, I was thinking about the "amount of posts needed" to enter, and why doesn't rodney do something like this:

50 posts necessary to enter, and if newcomers want an easy solution then they could donate $20 and get 50 posts free, or he could do 100 posts.

I mean hey it would really get rid of thos people who are joining just for the giveaways.

[Race234]

There is reasons behind what he does and why he does it but I wont go into details as they are more on a business level of conversation not suited for this thread.

Because on the one hand it brings new people in to the community and on the other if the needs are too great people just resort to last minute spamming.

[DemonicDerek]

Yeah that is basically a flaw, however you could become more strict on banning spammers...Thinks about this for a moment... nvm, if you became more strict I might become banned for going off topic so often... or would you?

[Race234]

yes he would =p just messin lol

[Tivon]

It's crossed my mind to ban alot of people... Most people either figure it out after awhile that posts are being deleted and give-up on those word battles. Most of the time I give them a warning and deal with them directly. Warnings and Deleting posts is more work than banning to be honest for me because of PM chats. However when I ban people the drama spills over onto Rodney and then he takes a time out from VR's to figure it all out and put out the flames coming from Tivon's head and Eyes. :)

[Race234]

So Rodney, how does this work again will I get some kind of notification from the company when the item is shipped with like a tracking number, should I expect to see the product in a few weeks or.... month?

[Tivon]

We send Rodney the Information, he sends that to the Marketing crew at Antec. Antec then ships it out. If Rodney sends a request to Antec you can get a Tracking number. Send Rodney an E-mail.

[werty316]

What I think: a post requirement means more traffic which could bring more exposure thus the possibility of more traffic to the site :thumb

[werty316]

I got a quick question about one rule:
"You must also have at least 30 quality forum posts on 3dGameMan.com."

Does this mean a user needs to make 30 posts during the contest period or have atleast 30 total posts in their post count?

[JustinEss]

Perhaps to enter the X-mas giveaway to deter spammers have a rule something like you need to have been a member of 3GM for at least X amount of months. Three perhaps?

[borschtBomber[SS]]

Perhaps to enter the X-mas giveaway to deter spammers have a rule something like you need to have been a member of 3GM for at least X amount of months. Three perhaps?

Well, this is going a bit off topic, however.....one reason for contests like these is to attract new members and making a requirement of being a member for x amount of time kind of defeats that purpose.

It means 30 quality posts since you registered on 3GM. You could be here for a year and have 30 posts, or be here for a day and have 30 quality posts and you would qualify either way.

[3dGameMan]

I just got word from Antec that the prizes have been sent. Knowing Antec you can expect them in a few days, so early next week :) Enjoy the PSUs folks :Thumb

[Race234]

awesome, cant wait ^_^

Whats up with that psu calc. website lol it says my system needs a 1600watt power supply =p
