Fat, don't forget about power supply, cpu cooler (unless the evga one comes with it, case (if you want a new one or need one...) hdd, media drive and some other small stuff :D But of course you can take some from your old build :D.
Only thing i can really keep is the power supply, HDD, Media drives and maybe case if i can't afford a new one :D.
"EVGA has many contest giving away cpus. If any one thinks there lucky enough to win this contest and evga contest you just need ram for your sick new rig."

Yeah, when I try to dance with just one leg, I fall every time!
'Old Geezer' mode: I've actually been sitting on a bar-stool at the house reading and forgotten about my 'incomplete checklist' and tried to walk away. Of course the first step always goes well,.... after that it goes downhill fast. It's been a long time since I've done that one though.
Don't part with your illusions. When they are gone you may still exist, but you have ceased to live.

animatortom:Promote the competitions giveaways at the end of the MSI giveaway?
HotHardware doesn't have any competition when it comes to giveaways.
Dang straight!.....Hot Hardware doesn't :)
I was talking bout MSI-EVGA!
If MSI are the ones that are judging then it wont help his chances :P
Have you been out drinking with Dave and Marco?
I don't drink (allergies) so call me when you need a DD :D

I'll never need a dedicated driver because of drinking. I haven't had any booze in years.
I'm boring I guess.
yea maybe not the place to promote, but for hardware lovers just wanted to make you aware of other sweepstakes.
People are watching this page like hawks waiting for the winners.
fat78: yea maybe not the place to promote, but for hardware lovers just wanted to make you aware of other sweepstakes.
I would think that no harm was done, or intended either.
realneil:I haven't had any booze in years.
I use to drink love beer but I had an intervention!! Well kinda after I had my brain surgeries I had to stop drinking any kind of alcohol. Everytime I try to drink any kind of alcoholic beverage even just one apparently my head does,nt like it and I will usually get the worst kind of headache you can imagine usually in just 10 minutes after I drink it!! And its so bad I just decided its not worth it, so I just quit. Of course I dont want you guys to think I was a drunk just a casual beer drinker. I guess you would call mine an involuntary intervention LOL.
Yes, we are watching like hawks to find out who the winner is. (it won't be me, I know that, but it will be someone deserving)

Yeah Amd...sounds like me with my allergies. I used to love having beers down on the beach in Galveston. then it just god bad, to where if I even had half a beer my head would be splitting! Maybe it is the Japanese in me :P Since they usually develop an intolerance to it later in life. Odd because I am still OK with Sake!
Maybe that is why I spent many years as a bartender, so I can have the fun of watching people get drunk without having to myself. Plus having a clear mind, I did better in the bar brawls and with the babes
Either way, many of you here on Hot Hardware I would gladly like to hang out with and have a Sake

I quit because of my diabetes and the fact that it makes me sick now. I'm not sure why either.
Another thing was the IA effect that I used to suffer from when I drank. It turned me into IA several times. (IA= Instant A**hole)
I too, never used to drink a lot, so it wasn't too hard to give it up entirely.
It shall be any time now, just sit back grab a beer (or sake) and enjoy the wait, i'll go grab myself some juice... lol

Yeah, I just poured myself a Spanish Pepsi and I wait,..............
I just spent the last hour and a half getting my son to go to sleep. Time to draw my name so I can wake him up with a "Holy $%#@!" Hehehe.
Just kidding.
...my wife would kill me.

They're probably just waiting for the post count on this thread to reach 300
*SMASHES F5*
realneil: They're probably just waiting for the post count on this thread to reach 300
Guess we should start a conversation then :D, Any ideas on what to talk about? I still want to know what u guys would add to build this rig :D
Hey, While Y'all are waiting for free stuff....There are 15 new articles that you could be reading and telling friends aboot:P
well i am going to bed, and congrats to winner.
Inspector:I still want to know what u guys would add to build this rig
>>>>>>>><IF I WERE TO GET LUCKY AND WIN<>>>>>>>>
I would go for the most CPU I could afford first and foremost. This is the most important item to me because of money restrictions and I can only do it just once, so maximum Mhz. is the plan. The mainboard is premium and will do it all right out of the box.
Now, I already have a good case, the CoolerMaster Storm Sniper, and I have an SSD for the OS to reside on,.......and also a few 1TB-HDD's to use as data storage too. I'm good for optical Drives, but would really like a larger screen to use so I can go above 1680X1050 resolution. I could make do with my 8GB of RAM, (using three of them) but would want to buy more to get it up to 12GB as soon as possible. My CPU water cooler would move to this rig for sure.
The supplied Video Cards would be used as is in SLI because they are the BOMB!
Well while you guy wait watch this video :D

OK we're at 300 now.
Goodnight all.
Congrats to whomever wins this and thanks to HH and MSI for another very interesting evening!!
