3vi1, Kraulerson, rapid1, Soupstyle, acarzt, rjr222, outajob, Super Dave, RA1D....I really appreciate the kind words. You guys are all incredible! It's been such a fantastic experience...I'm running out of adjectives here!

And again, the HotHardware Admins, OriginPC, thank you from the bottom of my heart. I'm still in shock, it hasn't even begun to sink in.

I will be cherishing this system and this memory for the rest of my life. I've never had a system even close to anything like this!

I can't wait to replay all the games I have on high details and then go buy the ones I've been putting off!!! This is a dream come true!

Hey and now who cares if your laptop craps out, you will have graphics and operation most likely like you've never seen on your desk. I am sure this machine is going to blow your mind when you turn it on. Make sure you get AMD Overdrive 3 it's a must on an AMD system exceptionally this one.

Thank you rapid1!! I have been saving and scrapping to get a new system for the past year, but something always came up. I feel like there's going to be a new baby in the house! I am going to learn everything about this system inside and out.

Just woke up the gf and told her the news....she's having a hard time believing my online addiction actually amounted to anything, lol! But she's very happy for me cuz I really needed this.

Again, getting to know you guys on forum was a prize in itself! It's been an incredible ride. Special word for you, rapid, I enjoyed our discussions and the late-night meanderings! You were right there with me all the way!

I'm going to be sharing the HotHardware good word for a long time to come! I feel incredibly humbled and honored.

Huh, well I'll be...congrats, gibbersome. Someone I mutually know in this community actually won. Unfortunately, I wouldn't have been able to win since I don't live in the US. I wonder what happened to shipping both Canada and USA...they used to have that in their previous sweepstakes.

"Now everyone, congratulate your compatriot gibbersome and prepare for our next exciting give-away! We've actually got TWO awesome gaming rigs on tap for you all in the coming weeks / months--the giving just never stops around here! Once we've got the details hammered out, we'll announce the next contest, but we promise it won't be long."

Maybe the next one, Canadians can participate more as well. But as for me, I'll participate in forums and commenting because I am interested in the site...not because of the prizes that the administrators are dishing out. Of course, what they are doing is generous...and I would accept a great prize if I ever won it...but I'm not going to comment like crazy for the sake of trying to win a prize that has low odds of winning. My commenting should be meaningful, sensible and sometimes quirky instead being gibberish and boring for the sake of  winning a prize. I am all about quality  than quantity. I would prefer to obtain my new PC by earning it with my own skills and abilities since it provides a sense of pride on hard work. In any point, congrats to gibbersome and other participants who were involved in this contest.

@gibbersome, once you get that beast set up let's see who can get the highest benchmarks!

Thank you Kyouya! I feel very blessed, lucky and grateful.

BTW, I'm Canadian on my mom's side, spent several years in Southern Ontario growing up. What part of Canada do you hail from?

RA1D:

@gibbersome, once you get that beast set up let's see who can get the highest benchmarks!

For sure! I've got so much reading up to do...and so much to learn. Very excited!

Congratulations. Hope you have fun with your new rig!!!

I haven't been around for quite a while but I sure can make time to say congratz Gibbersome, you deserve it!

Gibbers,......You definitely earned it this time and I'm glad it turned out to be you that won this barn-burner of a system. I'm truly happy for you. My wife and I were silently (I didn't want to stuff the ballot box, you know) rooting for you to bring this one home. There was allot of good competition this time around, some of these new guys have allot to say and they're not shy about saying it. Hopefully, they have the bug now and will stay around.

Congratulations Again!

Thanks TheChief, tanka12345, it's amazing, I'm half afraid I'm still asleep and dreaming. I actually took a long nap earlier tonight and dreamt that a user named "GiorgioArmani" won....it was quite upsetting.

Thanks realneil! I still haven't recovered from the shock. I remember scrolling down and reading my name and not believing my eyes. I really appreciate the sentiments from you and your wife (does she have an account here as well?).

Absolutely, great competition and lots of awesome new members. I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone better.

So how long does it take to come down from this high? I feel like I've overdosed on some marijuana mixed with Cialis!

And they finally announce the winner! lol Congrats gibbersome! hope you enjoy your new awesome rig!

I was so hyped up when i saw that they announced the winner i just jumped out of bed and went on my computer!

Hope the new contest rig is even better or just as awesome as this rig!
