Curious

Also wonder if anyone winning is also a member of the forums and how long they've been a member...

Closed at OP's request.

Crossing my fingers for a good monitor or laptop, as I could use either.

I AM.

Seriously. I'm on an i5 2500 non k here. I needs me a new processor. :(

Let me know if you want a free i7-6700K. It's overkill for what it's doing right now (mining). It would be a week before I can send it out, though, as I need to pick up a replacement Pentium. I have a mini ITX board for it as well, if you need one, but it's a B250 board unfortunately.

DANG!!

Okay, let's see if that works for me too....



Seriously. I'm on something older and worse than an i5 2500 non k here. I needs me a new processor. Or a good SSD, or a better video card or a new car.

Congrats to whoever PM'd you, winnar!

I don't use desktops anymore, but my last one has an AMD XP (Barton). Unless you count an original Mac Mini, which is actually newer but has an anemic PowerPC G4 in it lol.

I don't even care about the prizes all that much -- I just want to win something so I can know that people do actually win things. Same for scratch offs... I want to just have the satisfaction of scratching of a $1000+ winner and for proof they do exist.

The shipping costs to Canada are just stupid.

Effing Bush.

No, it has to do with laws. Up here draws are considered gambling and the government has monopoly on that. So all the draws here are contests. You have to answer a skill testing question correctly :awe:

Blaming Bush anyway. Worked well for bummer for 8 years.:D

But shipping to you is very expensive.

This seriously frikken bites. Every single damn day?

I have to say the old AMD tour free-for-all disappointments are far better than this. And I hated that tour.

Man, a much younger me would have jumped at that. Now I've moved into 3D printing and SoC designs for some IoT projects, I'm being much more judicious in my hardware.

Let me know if you want a free i7-6700K. .

I have won a few things before. Like a copy of KKND 2, a T shirt and a foam tank. That is one prize package. Shipped all the way from Australia I think.

Also won a mp3 player, rice cooker, GCs.

I think its a scam. Why would you give it away if you could sell it in the buy/sell forum?


selling entails a lot more hassle than giving it away. And if he is not hurting for money, why not. What kind of scam can a giveaway be?
