Update! HH/Intel Core i For The Mainstream Guy/Gal Sweepstakes!
We thought it was high time to temp and tease you all a bit, with our latest Sweepstakes courtesy of our friends at Intel. Yes, even you could win a fully equipped Core i7 870 (2.93GHz) system built by CyperPower PC. There's still time to get into the drawing that will be closing this Friday, October 9th! Let's roll the Ts and Cs for you here...
Rules and Regs:
As usual, we’ll be giving away this rig away to a randomly selected contributor to our on-line forum and news discussion systems. To be entered into the sweepstakes, you’ve got to be a registered, active member and a resident of the United States or Canada (Canadian winners are responsible for all international duties/taxes). If you’re not already a member, you can sign up quickly and easily (and it's free), right here or click the log-in link at the top, right nav bar of HotHardware.com.

System Spec Update!
OK, we have some good news and a bit of a change to the system spec, now that we've actually received it from the manufacturer (see below). First, instead of it being equipped with a GeForce GTX 295, the system is actually setup with a GeForce GTX 285. Sorry for the misprint there but a GTX 285 is certainly no slouch graphics card either. Have no fear though, to make it up to you, CyberPower tossed in a 22" widescreen monitor by Viewsonic. Also, the case has been upgraded to a CoolerMaster Sniper Storm Gaming case. Check out the knob on the top that allows you to adjust fans speeds manually. Ooohh... ahhh!

And now, as they say in the biz, here's a word from our sponsor, the good folks at Intel...
“Intel is excited about our new Lynnfield line of processors—Core i5 and Core i7. To show how excited we are, we are giving away over a dozen Core i7 800 systems to the readers who put the products through their paces daily! “Core i for the mainstream guy (and gal)" is what we affectionately call it, bringing the Nehalem architecture to mainstream PC price-points everywhere. Our awesome etail partners below helped make this happen, hit them up when you go shopping for a system. And special thanks to CyberPower and Ibuypower for delivering the goods yet again.”
