HotHardware's Independence Day Sweepstakes

by Marco Chiappetta — Sunday, July 06, 2008, 01:30 PM EDT

Just a reminder folks! In conjunction with our good friends at AMD, Corsair, and Western Digital, we're giving away yet another full, quad-core system this month! This time around, you could win a full AMD Phenom X4 9750-based system, complete with a GeForce 8800 GTS graphics card and a brand new Western Digital Black Edition hard drive!

The complete parts list and breakdown is listed below! 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 like last month there's a twist (see below):

Processor: AMD Phenom X4 9750

Graphics: XFX GeForce 8800 GTS 320

Case: Gigabyte 3D Aurora (Black)

PSU: Enermax Galaxy 850 Watt

Memory: 4GB Corsair DDR2-8500 Memory

Motherboard: Asus CrossHair

Hard Drive: Western Caviar Black Edition

Optical Drive: Lite-On DVD-R / RW

Miscellaneous: Arctic Cooling Freezer 64

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 forum and will be randomly selecting a winner. You can increase your chances of winning by signing up for our HotHardware RSS News Alerts. Finally, to coincide with the upcoming Independance 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 Independence 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 will be announced Monday, July 7.

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!

Marco's interest in computing and technology dates all the way back to his early childhood. Even before being exposed to the Commodore P.E.T. and later the Commodore 64 in the early ‘80s, he was interested in electricity and electronics, and he still has the modded AFX cars and shop-worn soldering irons to prove it. Once he got his hands on his own Commodore 64, however, computing became Marco's passion. Throughout his academic and professional lives, Marco has worked with virtually every major platform from the TRS-80 and Amiga, to today's high end, multi-core servers. Over the years, he has worked in many fields related to technology and computing, including system design, assembly and sales, professional quality assurance testing, and technical writing. In addition to being the Managing Editor here at HotHardware for close to 15 years, Marco is also a freelance writer whose work has been published in a number of PC and technology related print publications and he is a regular fixture on HotHardware’s own Two and a Half Geeks webcast. - Contact: marco(at)hothardware(dot)com
