Bjorn3D Christmas Extravaganza Contest: Two Grand Prize AMD Dragon platform Computers and an assortment of smaller prizes!
| Quote: | Yes it's that time of year again and we have rounded up a ton of high end hardware to make your holiday season a little merrier.
We'll get to some pictures and links in a little bit but here's a breakdown of what's up for grabs.
Two AMD Dragon platform systems for grand prizes!
TOP GRAND PRIZE
Phenom 2 X4 965 (3.4GHz)
8 GB of Corsair Dominator DDR3 Ram
Gigabyte MA790FXT-UD5P Motherboard
Two Corsair P128 SSD for Raid0
Corsair Obsidian 800D Chassis
Corsair CWCH50 – HS&F Water Cooling Kit
Corsair CMPSU-HX850 Power Supply
Coolermaster Advance Sentinel Mouse
Coolermaster Storm Mouse Pad
ATI 4870 GPU
All you should need for this rig is stick in your optical drive of choice and your ready to go with a Killer rig. We are not listing the model 4870 GPU because it will be gifted to you from our Editor/Review Manager Methious and since it's not being supplied by a vendor we are not going to list a manufacturer. Here's what he had to say about the prize.
Yer Welcome!
GRAND PRIZE
Athlon 2 X3 435 (2.9GHz)
Coolit Domino Water Cooler
Gigabyte MA790FXT-UD5P Motherboard
4GB G.Skill Trident DDR3
1TB Seagate Barracuda
Thermaltake Element V Chassis
ATI 4850 Aftermarket Cooled GPU
Seventeem 850W PSU
Coolermaster Advance Sentinal Mouse
Coolermaster Storm Mouse Pad
Again all you should need is an optical drive and you are good to go. Now our generous Editor/Review Manager Methious has dipped into his pile of hardware and provided the Athlon 2 X3 435 CPU, 4850 ATI GPU and Seventeem 850W PSU and here's what he had to say about his prizes.
I reviewed the two GPU's, the Athlon 2 X3 435 CPU, and the Seventeem 850W PSU and put them back in the boxes just for this contest. So they have been reviewed but not used for day to day operation. Just my way of giving back a little to the community that means so much to me and Bjorn3D!
Go figure it turns out he's not a heartless hardware slayer after all.
FOLDING PORTION PRIZES
Gigabyte P55A-UD4P Sata 3/USB 3.0 Motherboard
OCZ Gold 4GB i5 Ram kit
As many of you know Scott is the owner of Bjorn3D and has been a passionate folder for Stanford University for years. In the past year his Daughter has had a bout with Hodgkins Stage IVB Cancer and to honor him and his daughter Stephanie we are including a "Folding for Stephanie" sub-contest.
These prizes will only be available to those that fold for Stephanie during the month of December.
Rules for the folding portion only
1. Must have a USA/Canada Shipping Address
2. Must Fold for Bjorn3D Folding Team 41608
3. Must use your forum name with a -Stephanie in it.
4. Must make at least 5 post in the Bjorn3D forums in December. Each post must have "Folding for Steph" at the end of the post.
If you have questions about folding we have a section dedicated to folding in the forum. Folding Link
Here is Stephanies Support page for info about her: Stephanie's Page Good luck to all entering the folding portion.
Now to the brass tacks of things. We did a notification thread for the contest and there was some grumbling about folding for contests. I (Methious) have no tolerance for bickering about contests. Starting today, (Nov 28th 2009) and running through the end of the contest, if you complain about this contest, any portion of it, you will be excluded from the entire contest. PERIOD.
That's just the way it is so complain if you want and I'll yank your name out of the hat so fast your head will spin. If I hear complaining about that rule I will exclude you from contests for my entire time at Bjorn3D. So let's have a little more HoHoHo and a little less NoNoNo.
PRIZES
Five Shattered Horizon Online Game Keys
Thermaltake V1 CPU Cooler
Noctua NH-D14 CPU Cooler
Top Deck Testing Station (HighSpeedPC) Staff giveaway
G.Skill Falcon2 64GB SSD
NZXT Lexus S Chassis |

The original contest page accidental got deleted so they updated the entry requirements.
| Quote: | Well as many of you know we had a minor forum disaster and the Christmas contest thread got waxed.
We are changing it up a little to keep it fair for everyone. The folding portion remains the same through the end of January and the i5 board and ram go to one lucky winner that folded for Steph.
USA Shipping address on this one sorry.
1. Complete this sentence:
"I'm so entering the Bjorn3D Christmas Extravaganza contest because Bjorn3D __________ and this contest ___________." (Christmas themed answer)
This lets us know you are entered. If you are entering the Folding portion just mention that you are folding for Steph and the name you use for folding.
2. For one entry: Have 20 forum posts at the end on January
3. For one entry: Advertise the contest on another forum. Link to the contest page, and forum thread required: Post this. text:
"Bjorn3D Christmas Extravaganza Contest: Two Grand Prize AMD Dragon platform Computers and an assortment of smaller prizes."
Then the two links: Contest Page & Forum Thread
Forum Thread: Forum Page
Contest Page: Contest Page
That's all you have to do. Just have 20 forum posts by the end of January. If your not a member just sign up and have 20 forum posts by your name at the end of January. Posting on another forum gets you a second entry but to qualify for that you still have to have 20 posts at the end of January.
We apologize for the inconvenience. |
