What about not strictly PC related tech? like maybe a RaspPi kit, or a custom case mod for the winner or something like that?

Would be quite an improvement over my 280... could sell 280 then get an SSD + something. Also when is the giveaway gonna end?

The ability to google properly is a skill of its own.

You had a topic few hours ago where you said you're using a non k 3770 with an R9 290?

Never mind PKA turned down my deal, so yays... but I am sad they did...

That was my situation, until PKA turned down my deal, I was going to give them my Computer for advertising instead of money.

Fine. I'll enter then, but if I win, I'll send it to @terrytek. Is that a good reason for entering? Can I even do that? xD

If you win. I could send it to the address you specify.

 

I see no reason for you doing a give away because we were nice to you. I is a really nice gesture, but even though it get rarer and rarer I still believe we should all still be Albe to be kind to each without expecting something in return.

I don't expect anything in return. This is just my way of showing gratitude. Plus the positive vibes from this forum helped me a lot.

 

I think it's awesome you're doing this!

 

As for a good reason, I don't think I have one since I've been against the 970 since its big issue; I'd probably give it to a friend who's planning on building a computer if I got one, though. :P

I am doing a 390x giveaway in the future. You could always enter that. Anyways best of luck.

 

@GrimNeo You hurt my feelings I spammed your notifications 5+ in past month you should remember me.

I thought I included you. :(. Sorry.

 

Aww you didnt include me in the thanks :( (i dontmind)

 

Reason: because i wont care about its VRAM and because i like you on here :)

 

Also that is a really cool giveaway :o

Your welcome. I thought I did include you in the thank you section.

 

Now a question for the rest of you. In the event of another giveaway what would you fools want?

a Dac/amp would be awesome.

 

Shut your face then.

Still looking for more opinions. What does the community want to see? Audio gear? *ears intensifying*

More Audio gear or Anime themed stuff.

 

Would be quite an improvement over my 280... could sell 280 then get an SSD + something. Also when is the giveaway gonna end?

June 30th at 11pm eastern standard time. I will be doing a 390x giveaway in the future as well. I really wanted to do a 980 Ti/Fury X giveaway but I could not afford it. Sorry. Maybe if I get a better job. For sure then.

 

 Amazing giveaway GrimNeo and best to luck for your health and the future  :)

 

Good luck to you all.

Thank you.

 

Honestly, It would be in a better place elsewhere then my computer, so take me out. It is super awesome you are doing this though. 

Best of luck on your situation.
