Please enter me for the GTX960 and the 6TB drive... either would go in the HTPC. The GTX960 is already on the list (for H.265 codec support) and the BluRay rips are filling up the current 5TB drive pretty fast!

Thanks for your kind generosity!

Count me in for 1 & 2. I'm in the slow process of building a new computer and could use the space of a 240 GB and a better GPU than my current GTX 560TI.

Thanks for your generosity! :D

My Hard drive just died so I would love a chance at the 6 TB Hard drive.

I also would love the GTX 960 since my GTX 750 is getting a bit long in the tooth.

I do not have a MB compatible with the SSD drive so good luck for those who do.

Thank you for the contest.

In for the gtx 960. I would plan on running primegrid and other distributed computing on it 24/7. Would definitely be an upgrade to my integrated hd4200 igp.

I'll toss my hat in for:
1. GTX 960, be a great PhysX Co-GPU
2. Samsung SSD - I got an aging vertex 4, time to upgrade!

mama needs a new 6TB drive

Put me down for the 6TB hard drive if you would please. I would use it to upgrade my server capacity and have a bit more fault tolerance as I'm essentially the free backup plan for my family as they connect to it through CrashPlan to do remote backups.

I badly need a video card for my render rig. GTX 960 would be sweet, but will accept any prizes! Thanks for doing this! :)

Not entering, just want to say thank you on behalf of everybody.

Ditto. Merry Christmas everyone!

(I have waaay too many PC parts right now, maybe I should run my own giveaway... HA!)

Edit: I guess, in light of the fact that I recently splurged on a pair of Z170 boards, that I might be interested in an M.2 SSD after all.

So enter me for the SSD, I actually would have a use for that.

I would like to be entered for the

Geforce GTX 960.

I would be replacing my current video card in my signature and then I would be able to rebuild my old computer for my kids.

I would like to put my name in the hat for the Geforce GTX 960, the 256GB Samsung SM951 M.2 SSD and 6TB drive. Here's what I would do with each:

960: I am building a steam box for my son and a 960 would be perfect since he's only playing Lego games and the 960 can run these pretty smooth at 1080p.
M.2 SSD: I have a Maximus VI Extreme that had one of the first M.2 slots on it. I have never put an M.2 drive in it and would really like to see how it would work out as a boot drive (it does support booting to M.2).
6TB drive: I really need a big drive to do backups. Right now, I am only backing up to a 1TB. Because of the limited size, I am just backing up a mirror of my OS drive and all of my pictures and documents. With 6TB I could backup my steam directory!

I'll put in for the 6TB HDD. I could use it for storage/backups. Thanks!

EDIT: Ill put in for the SSD as well. I could use it in my x79 system with an adapter.

I'd like to enter for everything. The 960 would become a folding card, the SSD would go to my main rig as my SSD is full, and the 6TB drive would go into a NAS for my entire family.

Thank you for this awesome giveaway nanaki!

I'm in for the GTX960. I have a system that's lacking the GPU and the case now, so I've been sitting around waiting for the right deal or part to come my way. This would be perfect!
