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

It's that time again folks! To commemorate Father's Day and to congratulate all of you that are graduating this season, in conjunction with our friends at AMD, Thermaltake, and Kingston, we have assembled yet another <HOT> rig to give away! We're announcing a new give-away in which you could win a full AMD Phenom II X4 980 Black Edition based system, complete with a pair of Radeon HD 6870 graphics cards, some super-fast Kingston DDR3 RAM, a Kingston SSD, and a slick Thermaltake Level 10 GT chassis. With that kind of power at the heart of this rig, in such a wild case, this machine will definitely be a head turner! And it could be all yours!

As usual, we’ll be giving away this rig away to a randomly selected contributor to our on-line forum, news and reviews discussion systems. The complete break-down of components in the system includes:

CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 980 BE Graphics: Radeon HD 6870 CrossFire Case: Thermaltake Level 10 GT PSU: Thermaltake Power Supply Memory: 8GB Kingston DDR3-1600 Motherboard: AMD 800 Series AM3 SSD: Kingston 128GB V+ 100 Hard Drive: 750GB, 7200RPM Optical Drive: SATA DVD-R / RW

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 or Canada (apologies to the rest of the world). 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 selecting a winner based on community involvement and contribution. To increase your chances of being a winner, sign up for our HotHardware RSS News Alerts as well, and we'll toss your name into the mix for double credit! In addition, we’re going to be weighting entries based on the quality of contribution, using our comment system’s integrated voting button (those 'Thumbs Up' and 'Thumbs Down' buttons you see in the comments on the news page). So if the community likes your stuff, so will the contest gods!

The sweepstakes will run through June 27, 2011 and we will announce the winner shortly thereafter.

This is a great opportunity for to you to win a custom, powerful new system. Now go make some new friends in the HotHardware community and get in the running! Good Luck!
