Annisman's 2nd ever Anandtech giveaway: Winners announced!

[supremor]

Very cool giveaway Annisman, I wish I could have gotten 4GB 670's over here

In any case I'll enter for the Steam giveaway.

I don't own an actual camera and too lazy to pop the case anyways so I'll just post the whole command center :awe:

I7 3770K @ 4.2 w/ CM Hyper 212 Evo
ASUS P8Z77-V Pro
16GB G.Skill Ripjawz
256GB Crucial M4
2x 1TB Caviar Blacks and a 2TB Red
ASUS DCII GTX 670 SLI
Creative X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Pro
Seasonic X750 Gold
HAF-X
3x Dell U2412M

I would like Sniper Ghost Warrior 2 and the Black Ops 2 DLC (total of 45) but hell I'll be more than happy with just the BO2 DLC and someone else could enjoy a 30 dollar game

Contest end date has been moved up 2 days to Thursday the 21st @ 2PM because of a work conflict the original day.

I'm going to have go low and use the Ipad camera, my P+S Nikon died, I asked the 'team' at Bestbuy to do me a solid and pop a battery in, so I didn't waste theirs and my time, buying a 40 dollar battery for a 30 dollar camera, if the cam, was indeed dead. They wouldn't help me.
Patriot's fan here
Kraft was on the news today, fed up with all the Welker questions. I don't work for Tom Brady, he works for me. lol

 

[loccothan]

i'm happy now

Here goes...

System specs:
Phenom II X4 945 (10 pass IBT stable at 3.45GHz @ stock volts before reducing it to 3.3GHz for simple, easy, piece-of-mind 24/7 OC. Didn't test anything more.)
XFX Radeon 6770
3GB DDR2 800 (Added 1 a few weeks ago)
Gigabyte GA-M57SLI-S4
WD800JB
Antec Basiq VP450 (Have CX500, too)


Why would I like a 4GB GTX 670? I have Metro 2033 in my backlog. I also love antialiasing -- whatever power my video card has left beyond pushing a VSYNC'd 85 FPS gets used for AA. So, while a GTX 670 is overkill for my rig as far as pushing straight pixels and polys, I can use it for deliciously high levels of SSAA.

You should use soda bottle plastic for your cpu chute, somewhat similar to what I did here:

or get project foam and do something like this:

Here goes...

I used to have that exact same motherboard. I added a bit of irony to the CPU cooler.

I got rid of the motherboard because the power regulator ICs just above the top pcie x1 slot got too hot and fried the caps there... I replaced the caps you can see if you look close, and also arctic alumina thermal epoxied a scavenged heatsink directly to the offending ICs to try to prevent further damage and problems. Sadly by the time I got the motherboard, it took 20 seconds to show a picture on the screen, and I got tired of that... so when I could afford it I sold the motherboard (specifically telling it's history and problems) and got a really nice one.

You have some very awesome pony pictures there

Thanks for the giveaway!

My entry(for the steam games):

Specs are:
Intel Core Duo @ 2GHz
1.25 GB of RAM
Intel GMA 950

Hopefully I'll be building a computer this summer!

List of Game: Q.U.B.E., Sanctum, Defense Grid:The Awakening(and the You Monster DLC), Garry's Mod, and McPixel

 

[gpse]

1. Post a picture of your current computer rig:

2. List your complete computer specs:

Mac Pro 4,1
Quad Core 2.93Ghz Intel Xeon W3540
8GB DDR 3 ECC 1066Mhz
ATi Radeon HD 4870 512mb
1TB Western Digital Caviar Black
128GB Samsung 840 Pro SSD
18X SuperDrive

3. Tell me briefly why you want the card, and what you will do with it:

First off, amazing idea for the giveaway, hopefully others will follow suit, ideas like this really help the community. As for why I want the card: I own a Mac with an aging ATi 4870, I'm in desperate need of a new video card so I can enjoy some games (yes I game on my mac) I don't use my computer for any of the stereotypical mac pro stuff, I actually use it to game and mess around with Photoshop. If I am lucky enough to win this card, this would allow me to play some games at settings above LOW for once...lol Also When I use photoshop this would help big time since Nvidia cards have CUDA support. Lastly being Canadian I had to enter this contest, since it's so rare for us to have a contest that will ship to our Igloos

*Incase you're wondering, PC video cards will work on Mac's*

4. Create a demotivational picture/lolcats/failblog type of picture and post it.
