[SunnyD]

Will the winners be PMed? It is Monday.

I would assume since the thread has been reopened, the winners have likely already been notified and a "general announcement" will be posted by the OP here shortly.

Hello everyone and thank you for entering! Sorry it took so long to post the winners, but got caught up in doing some family stuff.

Thank you everybody who entered. I would have loved to have enough prizes for everybody, but alas, I do not.

The winners were chosen at random for each prize. I hope to have another give away with bigger and better prizes again!

I am going to PM each of the winners to let them know, but until then... The winners are:

T_Yamamoto for prize package #1
AnitaPeterson for prize package #2
MustISO for prize package #3
theknight571 for prize package #4
OGOC for prize package #5

I would also like to thank esquared for working with me through the whole thing and making this contest possible. He also deserves your thanks! And, of course, all of the other mods here who keep the boards clean and relevant!

 

[Lemonade727]

Congrats to the winners!

T_Yamamoto for prize package #1

[MustISO]

Let me be the first to say OMG! Very cool! Thanks so much for the giveaway and the chance to win a fantastic prize.

 

[Gillbot]

HAHAH! You can finally stop mooching T!

+1, although it'll probably get worse now since he'll want to see what else he can get.

 

[OGOC]

The anticipation was killing me.
...Not drawing names until Monday?
"Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo."

Thank you very much.

Yamamoto gets a Haswell. I think I'm more satisfied with that than if I had gotten the SSD I've been jonesing for.

 

[akugami]

I'd like to thank nanaki333 and anandtech for hosting this contest. And congrats to all the winners.

/facepalm

Anyway, thanks for the contest OP! The anticipation was thrilling!

Hint: Next time make sure you anti-spam proof it by putting in a minimum postcount & minimum account age limit (usually 3 months and/or 250 posts is good) so you don't get all those google-found new regs spamming it up. Not that that happened alot here, but there were a couple.

One of the objectives was to hopefully gain new members, which is why it was open to anyone, regardless of join date or post count.

Hey Bud, congrats!! The 660Ti and now this - Man, I am going to kidnap you and make you play the Powerball for me

 

[AnitaPeterson]

I am amazed! Winning is usually something that happens to everyone else but me

Thank you very much nanaki333, for your generosity!
Kudos to esquared for administrative support!

And cheers to everyone who participated, whether they won anything or not. You are what makes this forum a great place to be - even after more than a decade, you can still surprise me.

I guess I'll be waiting for a PM with instructions

*edit* Almost 5,000 posts, too, woohoo!

 

[Major Orange]

I was personally highly surprised by this amazing generosity!
Even sparked me into thinking 'well dammit I really need a computer!' and started making steps towards buying/building one.

My thanks go out to everyone who made this possible. Nanaki (woo FFVII btw) for being so generous and selfless and esquared for being the benevolent admin!

 

[theknight571]

WOOOOOOO!!!

Thank you very much nanaki333.

 

[T_Yamamoto]

Here's my more formal speech (I guess)

Thank you Nanaki for holding this contest.

Congrats to the other winners!

Better luck next time to all those that did not win.

I plan on buying the rest of the parts as soon as I come back from summer camp.

I cannot express how delighted I am about getting a MAJOR upgrade.

I also cannot express in words how thankful I am for everyone on the forums for their generosity.

Kind regards
Takumi Yamamoto
