HotHardware Memorial Day Sweepstakes!
Just a reminder here folks -- Our contest ends MONDAY, 6/2 and we will announce the winner on Tuesday 6/3! Good luck!
In conjunction with our good friends at Diamond Multimedia and Smooth Creations, we’ve got one patriotic rig to give away this month! This time around, you could win a full AMD Phenom X4 9750-based system, complete with dual Diamond Multimedia Radeon HD 3850 512MB graphics cards running in a CrossFire configuration, and an awesome, custom painted Smooth Creations case emblazoned with the good ol' Stars and Bars! And two runners up will also win AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+ processors.
As you can see, this machine is definitely a head turner, and it could be all yours! As we've done with previous sweepstakes, we’ll be giving away this rig away to a randomly selected contributor to our on-line forum and discussion systems, but this time there's a twist (see below). The complete break-down of components in the system includes:
|
|
Processor: AMD Phenom X4 9750 Graphics: Diamond Radeon HD 3850 512MB (2) Case: Smooth Creations CM Cosmos 100 PSU: Silverstone 850 Watt Memory: 4GB G-Skill DDR2 Memory Motherboard: Abit AX-78 Hard Drive: Western Digital Caviar 500GB Optical Drive: Lite-On DVD-R / RW Miscellaneous: Zalman Cooling, Windows XP |
To be entered into the sweepstakes, you’ve got to be a registered, active member of our forum and a resident of the United States. If you’re not already a member, you can sign up quickly and easily (and for free), right here.
From this point forward, we’ll be monitoring discussions on the site and will be randomly selecting a winner based on community involvement and contribution. You can also increase your chances of winning by signing up for our HotHardware RSS News Alerts. Finally, to coincide with the upcoming Memorial Day holiday, we're going to give extra credit to anyone who makes a charitable contribution to the Disabled American Veterans Fund. Make a donation - of any size - and forward a copy of your receipt to this e-mail address for another chance to win. Donations are NOT a requirement to win, but with Memorial Day coming up we thought this was a good opportunity to give something back to the military. We here at HotHardware will be making a contribution to the DAV fund as well. The winner of the rig and runners up will be announced Monday, June 2.
This is a great chance for to you to win a custom, powerful new system and to help out the many men and women who have selflessly served in the U.S. military. Now go make some new friends in the forum and get in the running! Good Luck!

If by "unlocked" you mean a Black Edition with an unlocked multiplayer, then no, it doesn't look like this system will have that. The 9750 does not have a Black Edition available. It's the second fastest Quad by AMD though, so I wouldn't worry to much about it. |
|
did my duty and donated. Hey BigWop or Davo or whoever is handling it, let me know if my email was sufficient. I screwed up somehow when donating and my email was wrong so I never got the conf. email so I copied the conf. page that popped up when I finalized everything. I guess there ain't much I could do about it now anyway other than donate again |
|
We got it bro, e-mail was fine. Very generous of you! (BTW, all of the e-mail to come in so far have been fine. If you sent something is up to this point, it's all good...) |
|
Yeah I sent two donations and two receipts one for my Grandfather (Career MARINE) and one for my father (Career Army Pilot) how do I know if you got both receipts. Anyway this system is absolutely awesome hope I win. Oh and for anyone else who donates you will receive a confirmation receipt in your email a few days after you do the donation as well as the auto receipt you get when you do it. |
kool nice to know ! |
rapid1:|
Another US only contest. :( |
|
Alright folks. Here's something to perk you up a bit. For those of you that have (or will) donate(d) to the DAV (and you know who you are... did you send proof of donation to hhcontest@hothardware.com ?), the first one to answer this trivia question correctly, gets a new mid-range to high-end graphics card! I'm talking GeForce 88X or similar Radeon! |
|
And if anyone posts the answer here, I'm going to thrash you with a wet noodle. :) |
|
I would love to win this box frickin awesome components an awesome paint job awesome cooling and an awesome power supply looks like the whole ticket to me I would love to have it |
|
WOW I'm dreaming of haveing something configured by Smooth and HH hope it has a grand ending :)))))) |
|
Would love to have a piece of desktop real estate like this |
|
amazing contest again. you guys are awesome. I want the case! |
|
wow great giveaways, im curious though any reasons why canadians cant win? i know theres a canadian law that you cant win based purely on luck but this doesnt apply here because the person has to post and be active. |
|
I'm guessing here but I would say shipping is a factor. |
|
Well once again I am looking at this beautiful case wishing it were mine |
|
Love the casework gonna go over to smooth and check out there other custom paintjobs maybe I'll win this one who knows :) |
|
Wow smooth creations have some decent setups with some great casework........ Maybe I'll win this one |
|
Does everyone know smooth creations is also selling this as a limited edition. So you can buy one of these beutiful numbers if you don't win. Just thought I'd let everyone know. |
|
I also looked through there systems they have some pretty nice rigs. The paint jobs are awesome to especially the laptops I'd love to have one of those. |
|
This contests is awesome not only is the case beautiful but it has some nice components as well. Plus it is in honor of memorial day which is a big plus. I donated in memorial of my father to some people who really deserve it. |
|
Nelson21, you're our winner of the weekend graphics card contest! Thanks for your contribution to the DAV and for responding first when we announced the mini contest in this thread. |
|
Damn you Nelson! : ) Its cool. I already have an Ultra. I was hoping it would have been another for SLI! : )--- |
|
Congrats on the win Nelson! I bet that xfx geforce 8800 GTS is a hoss. Have fun! |
|
Congrats on the win! Very nice card. :) |
|
Congrats Nelson, you lucky little devil. As if I need another reason to check these forums every chance I get. At least I bowled a 110 while you were winning (that's a good score for me |
). |
Hey Nelson Congrats, Diamond & AMD will piggy back on HH promotion. I will toss in a AMD CPU & TV Wonder Anywhere. |
|
^^^Umm...not to be rude...but who/what is this about? |
|
That kind gentlemen is with Diamond, who have played a big part in the April and May giva-a-ways. He even gave another member a free AMD 64 5000+ CPU. See his first post. |
|
yeah, i just did my research. Sorry about that. Got a little Mod happy...thats all. : ) Welcome to the forum. You guys are doing a great job on the contests! |
|
Holy cow! That is freakin awesome! You guys rock. Thanks HH and Mario. I guess I need to put Hothardware on my rig when I get it completed now in nice big letters on the front don't I? That really helps me out alot in terms of hardware that I would of had to purchase. So Davo do you want me to change the theme of my mod from frostbyte to Hothardware? it's not to late, I could go with Flames and red and yellow lights instead of the frost and blue lights. Instead of FrostByte in big letters on the front radgrill I could put HotHardware for you guys to show my appreciation. And Mario I do have another grill I am putting on the side I could show alittle love for you guys too. I feel like a nascar driver right now ready to sport logos.
Seriously though this is so awesome and if it's cool with you guys here I would like to do it as long as your ok with the copyright and logo and such. I don't know how else to express my appreciation. |
|
id love a free ati tv wonder :-) |
|
Congrats again Nelson! A TV tuner would be awesome. I need to get all of these damn television shows off of my DVR! : ) |
|
yeah I am sitting here pondering the possibilities of this tuner card now. I am thinking of possibly distributing video to multiple tv's with it and having my comp as a dvr. I have to check out the specs on this thing first I guess but since I will be wiring a new house soon I am sure I can rig something up. This is so awesome I haven't stopped grinning since I got home and discovered the news today. I have to pick out a MB for this stuff now. I wonder if it's the g92 model gts and which cpu I will get. It's like christmas time man. This is so awesome. I don't think I will be able to stop saying that |
|
Imagine what you will be saying if you win that PC! lol. I want it! |
|
yeah I know right. But that won't happen cause I just won something so I am not eligable to win anything else me thinks! I totally cool with that though as I am just happy I won this great stuff. And ya'll know I ain't going no where so I won't win and run with the merchandise
Oh yeah, Davo and Mario I sent you both emails with my info. |
|
Congratulations Nelson! Mario and HH rule for sure. I am glad I decided to join here after PCGamer fell apart, and not somewhere else! You guys are absolutely the best bunch of fellows around! |
|
Just stopping by this forum to remind everyone (admins specifically) that I really want this Kickin system. |
|
Every time I see this system it becomes harder and harder to wait till Jun 2nd to see who wins it. |
|
^^^^^^slaps player with zero health for not using the edit button^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ |
|
Hah, look a little ways back in the thread. He posted like a million times in a row. |
|
yea that was my nice way of saying it's getting annoying. I mean don't get me wrong, I am happy that he's here and posting and I would like him to stay, just needs to learn a little common courtesy. Stretching 1 posts into 3 posts is not gonna win anyone the contests |
|
It is about quality and not quantity of your posts. |
|
Yeah, Rapid1, please start using the edit button. Double and triple posting isn't allowed here. Thanks man. |
|
June 2nd?? That's my birthday! (hint hint lol)
Well done. Always nice to see people being reminded to help our vets. Some people aruge over this war being the right war (is there such a thing?) and perhaps the soldiers of this war don't deserve any type of assistance from the peoples. But to you I say; Remember the wars before this, remember your fathers, grandfathers, uncles, Aunts etc. who have fought in other wars. That's what Memorial day is for, not just to remind us of a war that has gone on far too long, but to remind us of the wars in the past, the wars that were faught because our entire country, and in some cases the world, felt they needed to be. I have been disabled for 4 years now, unable to work, only able to cook and watch after the kids, this isn't because of some war I faught, but I understand and sympathize with those who are disabled. I understand how much that $0.25 donation adds up. So when you see that man at your grocery store, handing out little possies, wearing his VFW badge proudly, dig into your pocket and give whatever change you have.
I am not for the "war on terror". I am extremely against it. But I am not against every war we have faught, and I will continue to support those who gave in the past to allow me the opportunity to choose between fighting or staying home. |
|
June second gets closer every day |
|
I need this computer :)
|
i need you to stop spaming. its good to show intrest in hh but please note we do have an edit button there so you dont have to triple post.... especially when the posts are one liners.... |
|
Rapid- This is your second warning, please merge the three posts above into one post or I'll delete them all. We DO NOT allow double...or TRIPLE...posting on the forums. Learn the rules bro. Thanks. |
|
Hehe, he completely ignored everyone else talking about him. Somehow I don't even think he reads the forums; he just multiposts in this thread. |
|
Yeah he did. read his 3rd post down of this latest treo of posts. I don't want to keep singling him out as it's kinda mean. I am sure if he read and got it through his head what he's doing wrong he could find this to be a very friendly and helpfull community. If he keeps ignoring warnings he's basicly opeing himslef up to be targeted. I don't get why he would do that.
Rapid they said you must be an active member of the forums not the most active member of the forums. This statement from the original posts states how the winner will be selected.
"From this point forward, we’ll be monitoring discussions on the site and will be randomly selecting a winner based on community involvement and contribution" So whether you posts once or split the post up into 3 posts to increase you post count it will not increase your odds. The best way to increase your odds is to most meaningfull reply's and help others out. 1 post is fine for a reply you do not need 2 or 3 to reply. The only thing splitting your post up will accomplish is irritating everyone else and resulting in action from the Mods. This repsonse from me was meant to be helpfull not put you down. I really would like you to stick around and get along with everyone here.
