I'd use it to put towards a new HDD and a PWM-to-GPU fan adapter. I modded my GTX 660 Ti reference with two 92mm fans to make it quieter and cooler. Now I just need to consolidate and control the cables.

 

It's pretty awesome of you to do this! :D

Congrats on 3K and glad you have enjoyed your time with the community.  In regards to the giveaway you are very generous and let me say if I won it I would be using it to get something towards a build for my daughter.  I have yet to build the girl her very own pc and it is about time I get to it.  Winning this gift card would definitely help me on my way to getting this done for sure.

Too many ****ing games!  Back log 4 life! :S

I had to use one of those adapters on an old 5850 that had a broken fan controller.  I could not find it in North America.  I grabbed it from a UK store for like $2+$1 for sleeving.  Shipping was $11. :lol:

I know I don't have the requisite 75 posts, but I would use the 30 dollars towards a new monitor. About 3 days ago, mine started turning on and off and going to sleep while the computer wasn't on. This carried over to when the computer was on as well. Not sure what the problem is, but my 19 inch monitor is 8 or 9 years old so I imagine it could be on its last legs.

I would put it towards a fixing tool kit with hex bits and stuff for working on PC's.

They're really helpful :)
