So THAT'S how I got the hat. I gave my little ticket thingy to a friend that stayed around. I guess they drew my name for a hat and he collected for me.

Yes winning anything is an anomaly. As well as being at the Seminole HardRock Hotel and Casino 🙂

Dude! What is up with the constant droning noise of all of the slot machines. That is IRRITATING! It sounds like when the Sentinels in the Matrix are coming through the tunnels. That noise alone made me want to leave early. It makes server rooms seem more like quiet rooms. 🙁

I think a PCI-e 6600gt is your best bet. Search the hot deals forum. THere's a few out there.

pardon my error linking to an agp card so Leadtek Winfast PX6600 GT TDH for $172 shipped
 
What company did people put in? I don't want to put my actual work so they don't call just in case... did you make up a self-business and put your home addy?

Well nevermind... it would seem the bundles have sold out, atleast here in Atlanta.
 
Wow, they're sold out for Irvine too. That's a bummer, I was waiting for my next credit card billing cycle to order. Hopefully they make some more available.

I hope so. I hope I would get more leftover bundles. More hats and t-shirts please. Free stuffs are always good.

On the video card, opterons, MSI mobo, is it based on a raffle or lottery like game to determine who will be the winner of each item? Does every attendees will get free stuffs: t-shirts, hats, and what else?
 
I booked for the sunnyvale event. I am sure that there will be numerous people who are gonna attend there. Living in the center of silicon valley isn't always advantageous. Yeah yeah I live right next door from Sunnyvale Fry's. Can't complain much. It is right next to AMD's headquarter too.
 
Bah, sold out for Seattle! Although I guess it's just as well. Even after selling my s754 setup with my x800XT, i'm still shy a few bucks to get the bundle and a x800XL.

But of course, I'll keep checking to see if they add more 😉
 
I am attending the Atlanta show tomorrow and I decided to keep the server package. If anyone is interested in the desktop package and missed out let me know. I have already ordered it. I am not looking to make any money of the deal. I just ask for what I paid ($250) plus shipping and if you are using paypal 3% for the charges from paypal.

Bundle gone, this'll be a lot better than waiting until July for the show to hit NJ 😀

If they're stocked again before then, I'll do the same thing Ted's doing for me :thumbsup:
 
Anyone know do you HAVE TO print out the order confirmation email they send to you when you pick up the bundle? Also when you sign in, what did it ask you?
 
wow wtf... irvine and burbank show is still more than 10 days away but they better have some more by then or a lot of people are gonna be hella disapointed.
 
I registered anyways for dallas event. Thinking about the PC package promo, there is a saving of ~$55. I do not care if M$ is giving away 64-bit Win XP which is slower than the 32-bit Win XP. I can get a OEM licnese anytime if needed. I will not killl myself for a savings of $55.

But for now.. I will try to go for the food and giveaways.. Maybe I can score an X850XT. 😉
 
only video card they giving away is x600.

i was going to get a few forum members some bundles but now looks like ill have to disappoint them and refund their money if they dont get more back in stock by the time the burbank or irvine show comes around.
