HotHardware's "Dads and Grads" Gaming Rig Give-Away!

CMachicote:

to win a rig like this would be a fathers dream ... At least my dream . I could go on for hours about the components all top rated.. but I will let the others do that for me .. as we all know anyone who enters this contest is in it to win it.. and one lucky person will be chosen .. good luck everyone wish we all could win but there is but 1

peace

Yup, that's the way it goes with these contests.

Anyway, welcome CMachicote!

I for one will be taking the guts of the rig and putting it to water...have been wanting to build a really goood AMD system for a while now (just no cash to build with)

Kewl tower

Woke up this morning and did some searching for more info on the specifications of this beauty.

Eyefinity support and 3D are just a few of the things the winner can expect if they have the proper monitors.  Blazing fast fps with the crossfire graphics cards so the hottest and newest games of this year would play smooth as butter.  I like to imagine myself playing Dead Island on this rig or another immersive game like Deus Ex Human Revolution, that would be beyond epicness on this hot custom-made rig.

The case itself allows for future upgrades not that it would be needed with the hardware already being put into it.  No more waiting around because the SSD would load any software noticeably faster than a standard HD.  Let us not forget that the HD and SSD included only take two slots so the winner could install extra space with the other three quick swap trays with ease.  This case is just so user friendly and the hardware being put into it packs a serious punch.  I would LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to win this.

Yeah, Spider Solitaire would finally be fast enough,..............

Sweet Box!

Nice giveaway!  Not sure how many more times well see that case in a giveaway.

The case looked like a mid-tower, but after viewing the specs I can say this thing is MASSIVE and HEAVY. Let us hope HH pays the shipping :P.

Thermaltake makes very good cases. I own a Thermaltake Dokker and the airflow is very good. The level 10 gt ahs everything you would want in a good build. Nice big fans all around and some led's to play with also. There is even the hot swappable hard drives that are convenient for those who have many hard drives.

this thing just looks so awesome. unique design, and very powerful. YES PLEASE!!!

Pretty nice rig.

If that were in my home office, my children might come over and want to play on it.

Is that good or bad? I love my children, but that would cut into my game time.

Is that good or bad? Which would I prefer, a visit from my children, or another hour in game? But if they brought the grandchildren with them, I guess they can visit.

Ok, that would be a good thing. There is nothing in game to compete with a real life hug from a grand-baby!

Only to my house

So you are highlander and I am matrix god so we are the only ones in the running for this contest :P

That is certainly another good reference to "the one"

I'm sure it would be able to play Spider Solitaire and even Minesweeper, probably both at the same time.  I don't think the winner would mind paying shipping for a brand new gaming rig with all those hot components.  I can offer cookies as payment and they are delicious cookies.

Speaking of gaming E3 is coming up so info galore for all the gamers out there on some of the hot titles coming out relatively soon.

My top five for E3 info are

1. Skyrim

2. Batman Arkham City

3. Dead Island

4. Rage

5. Mass Effect 3

There are certainly others I want to see but I must have coverage on these and hopefully release dates.  Those above are all PC as well and would be oh so delightful on a HotHardware Gaming Rig.

Hmm the site keeps resetting so I do not know if my post went through or not. This system is very nice. My oldest is going to college in Virginia in August so I better get in on this contest as I think it will be a long while before I see any new hardware.

I really love these cases to. The original was nice as well although way to expensive for what it is. This one however is very nice, great lay out, and the price is not bad either for what you are getting.

This is an amazing rig you have here. I actually just graduated from college! I can't wait to watch this being made! I really want to get a case like this it looks amazing!

Second the congrats & welcome to HH and hope you enjoy it here .

Also speaking of giveaways ...just received a Nifty Scwhaggy Flash Drive in the mail today ..that's totally cool 

it looks just like this

Thank You very much Dave,Marco the HH Team and All  it 's members.

Thermaltakes level 10 series cases are amazing! Out of all the components in this build, I think its the case that's dropping the most jaws.

Goodluck everyone and thanks to the AMD, Thermaltake and Kingston for sponsoring!

That's OK, you needn't pay shipping. When they tell you you've won it, just tell them I'll pay the shipping if they send it to me.

Another giveaway that I have no  a slim chance of winning  . The components look awsome though, and I can't wait to see the build video.

Good luck everyone, and welcome to HH all you newcomers, I hope you stay for more than the contest.

:)

That's completely true. HotHardware usually pays to ship it to you the winner, unless it says otherwise in the contest rules. Shipping costs would not be a concern.

Yep, the only time i can think of a winner had to pay shipping was the last one where if you were in Canada you had to handle all the shipping stuff :).

I'll send cupcakes :)
