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!

Not a drinker, but I've heard horror stories about the taste of PBR. Are they true? |
|
Do they still make PBR! |
|
PBR!! It's big on campus here (because it's so cheap). But what you have heard is true. It's pretty poor tasting. |
|
I had a group of friends that threw a party and used PBR to fill up a bathtub and drank out of it like a trough because it was so cheap. What a bunch of idiots! I wonder if i still have those pics on my computer. |
Thats one of the most disgusting things I have ever heard! On several levels. |

Corrected. |
|
Savage- Quite discusting i agree. I'm not a drinker so i have no idea why anyone would want to drink out of a nasty @$$ tub! Sick, sick, sick! |
|
Great contest! Thanks for considering me! |
|
That is a very nice system. The one we have is prehistoric by comparison. |
|
10 days and counting! I want that bad boy real bad like! : ) |
|
Yep the tension is mounting some lucking person is going to have an awsome Rig! Good luck everyone!!! |
|
I just donated. This is for a good cause. |
|
I just got my cpu and tuner in the mail today. That was alot faster than I expected. Compliments of Mario, AMD and Diamond I now have a brand new Athlon 64x2 5000+ dual core processor and a TV Wonder HD 600 usb tuner. Thanks again!
Now I just got to figure out how to hook this tuner up |
|
That nice man congrats on that win. There is some good folks here at HH and Diamond! Have fun with that maybe you can peg that thing out to 3.0gigs or more.Now you can plays some games and watch CNN at the same time Killer!! |
|
Looking good there Nelsoncp21 |
|
Mmm, I'm jealous. Use it well, sir Nelson. |
|
Thought that was coming to my address! Looking good man. Let us all know how the tuner works out. |
|
Yeah I don't know what happened Enter, I gave them your address but for some reason it must have wanted to come here to me. Now I need a second monitor so I can watch TV and post here at HH at the same time! |
|
Man thats awesome, congrats Nelson. I know this has been said several times already but all the bbboys at HH and Mario from Diamond realy deserve a round of applause. |
|
Monitors are going pretty cheap these days. Does it do PIP like a tv would? |
I don't know since the box was missing the driver and software cd's oh and the manual. Hopefully I can get the software and manual from them atleast seeing as it's not on their website |
I am really anxious to see how well this works. My previous experiences with tuners has not been so great.|
If it's built by ATI then you should be able to get the driver, ect. off of ATI's site. Edit- Just for you Nelson because we're cool like that- http://ati.amd.com/products/atitvwonder.html

The Stars and Stripes needs me to take care of it! Since Im divorced I can give it my undevided attetion! |
|
WOW! This is an absolutely amazing giveaway! Not only is it a state of the art system, but oh so patriotic! I would proudly use this system! I am just starting up a home based business after being laid off from Kodak and the main thing I need to be able to get started is a work horse computer system. This would be a dream come true for me. Just being in the running is fun, and I know someone will be truly thrilled when they win this one! Happy Memorial Day everyone and good luck! |

|
Eight more days to go good luck to everybody!! Tomorrow we Remember! Memorial Day Is Everyday! Try to Donate! |
|
I've donate. Yesterdya was a great day. We should remember them always, but its a good reminder. |
The tomb of the unkown soldier always makes me cry. dying in battle isnt the worst thing, at least the family has closure. not knowing what happened is worse, kidnaped, tortured... etc.. these are the things soldies have to deal with. its not only going into battle is having a chance of being taken prisoners, having your family worry about you. god honor all the soldiers. |
|
I got to see the changing of the guard one time whilst in Washington. Very solemn ritual, with everyone watching showing respect. It is indeed good to honor them. |
indeed it is from what ive been told, my mother actually was a part of the change of guard ritual back in russia. ohh and by the way i meant god honor all the soldiers. every soldiers deserves their rights! no matter if they are from france, america, england or wherever, thats why we had the geneva convention. to stop sensless human loss. (dont get me wrong, im way pro american, but id just like to point out that all soldiers deserve respect,) |
|
I've witnessed the changing of the guard ritual as well. It was so quite you could hear a pin drop. I saw something the other day that said they have been doing that every day since 1970 something. Pretty damn impressive IMO. They were also talking about replacing the tomb and historians are going nuts saying that they shouldn't replace it, just repair it. I agree with the historians. |
oh right i heard about that arguemnt because its marble and being eroded by rain and walking and other stuff... also the vietnam unkown soldier was identified a few years ago. ohh and your NOT allowed to salute, because you dont want to outrank the unkown. |
Thats something that I would like to see and honor! I bet its is a solemn and humbling event. I also want to go to the Vietnam Memorial Wall just feel the need to do that seeing how lucky I was I got a draft notice to go and when I was suppose to leave was sent back cause they were sending our guys home! So I just want to go and show my Thanks! |
|
There's a lot of patriotic thing to see in DC. You really shoul make a trip some day. |
|
Yeah I,ve wanted to for a while now that Im disabled maybe I,ll make the trip to some of these places one day! Im not getting any younger so need to do it before I get DEAD! |
|
AMD- you say disabled...do you mean walking disabled? If so, Arlington may not be the best place to visit without a group of people. I went with my marching band and we had kids falling over from leg cramps and some even passed out. It's up and down and the hills are very steep. |
|
Its getting closer...4 more days. Good luck everyone. |
|
