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!

Ya know the sad thing is I have been working in DC for the past 6 years almost and have been in almost every type of govt building but have yet to visit the memorials. Maybe I'll make a trip and take a pic in my HH t-shirt |
I am currently working on the GWU campus so it wouldn't be that much out of the way. |
Whoa, what the heck kinda gaming super machine is that? I would find room somewhere in the house for that lol. |
|
I'd put wheels on it and drive it to work! |
|
1 Week left SOmeone is gonna get very lucky on this one I love the graphics on this case not to mention the HW components are sweet. |
|
Thank you for your Sacrafice!
|
|
Wow this beautiful machine will be going home to someone very soon only 6 days left now. I'm sure it won't be me but we can all still hope :) I hope everyone remembers what our troops sacrifice as well. As it is more than we can imagine unless we've been there. |

My Dad was a Navy WW2 vet,I have 2 brothers that served one was airborne paretrooper 1st war in Irag and I myself did not serve but at the age of 17 was drafted to go to Viet Nam at the last min they started calling our troops home and I did not have to go so I gues I was one of the lucky ones but I think about the over 50,000 that gave up there lives for us and all the vets that are still alive that our GOV wont even take care of so we should help! God Bless them! Good luck to all on the contest! |

Me and Wifey just got back from a 5 night mini-vacation in New Orleans. What a blast! I paid a visit to the Voodoo Temple and had Priestess Miriam whip up a little ritual to improve my chances of winning this contest. And if I don't...well...let's just say the HH staff may just have a perpetual stabbing pain in the middle of their back. Anywho, I'll post some pics soon. I definitely recommend paying a visit to New Orleans. Such a great town. Awesome food. Lots of fun! |
|
I from Loisianna. Havent been there in years but when I was a kid use to do a lot of fishing there.Also my Dad was a federal Game warden so use to hang out in the swamps with him riding around on the Airboat! One of these days I,ll go back and pay a visit to new orleans and get me some Gumbo! |
|
Only a few days left, I would love to win this system. Whoever does is very lucky I could definitely use it, plus that case is awesome. Either way don't forget the main theme of this sweepstakes is also to Honor the men and women honorable and self giving enough to defend our country and way of life hats off to those brave few! |
|
Great so see so much intrest in the cause. |
|
Great system and I love the Flag! I know I'm getting into the conversation late but I'd like to add a comment. Next time you see someone in uniform, tell them thanks! On Memorial Day and Veterans Day, if you know someone that is currently serving or has served, tell them thanks! That's the best thing we can hear! I'm still very humbled when I hear those words and, at first, I didn't know how to respond. Now I just say "you're welcome". Knowing the American people are behind their children keeps us going! |
|
I love this system |
|
Hey only 82hrs and 4 mins left! I think thats around 292,200 sec: to go! Around 36 beers and 3 sleepless nights. Good luck everybody! |

This would be a great win. It looks fabulous. My husband served in Iraq and this looks like a tribute to those who served. It shows pride. I just love it. |

Well it wont be long now! Thats an unbeleivable gift to win and I,m not going to sit here and act like its no big deal because I myself would be so proud to hvae it on my desk I just cant tell you, I probably would never upgrade again.

Oh yeah if I got lucky I WILL donate my new CoolerMaster 690 to someone in the forums. Yeah I know we all heard that some where before: so dont go there! LOL, cause Im HONEST!! But I wish Everybody here good luck and I,ll see all yall at the finish line! Its Been Fun!! |
