Annisman's First Ever Anandtech Hardware Giveaway - Winners have been announced!

[eldorado99]

I 'qualify' for all the items, but somewhat in the spirit of the OP, I'm going to let others win them, I don't really need them. Instead, just saying thanks to the OP, nice offer.

Edit: continuing the spirit of the OP, I decided to see if any of the Steam contestants are after a game I have available in my large 'gift' inventory.

So, I declare Eldorado99 the winner of the game he asked for, Civ 4 complete - just PM me the steam game name to send it to.

(It's up to the OP about leaving him in the original drawing, since the value of that game is well under the $50 contest amount).

Thanks again dude.

 

[Annisman*]

Great giveaway! I'll let others take advantage of this, I technically qualify for the video card and cooler (not sure how that would with with mini-ITX), but certainly others would enjoy them more.

 

[MerlinRML]

First off, I just want to say thanks for the awesome contest.

I'd like to enter for one of the Steam games.

Directions (All of these must be done):
- Tell me what game(s) you would choose if you won.
Right now, I'm looking at Portal 2 and Counterstrike: GO. I've also got friends that are desperately trying to get me to play Borderlands 2 with them when it comes out.

- Think hard about your favorite game of all time, what is it ?
I remember starting X-Com UFO Defense for the very first time one evening, and only realizing how much time had passed when my family came to get me for lunch the next day. Whoops!

 

[JamesV]

Entering for the Corsair H80.

2600K/P8Z68/8GB/580

Done minor overclocking previously, but haven't tried with this CPU yet. Bought a Zalman GNPS7X to OC this at some point, but it won't fit with the motherboard 'artsy' heatsinks.

286SX 25MHz > Pentium 2 (?) > various Intel (4-5) > E6600 > 2600K

Can't come up with a picture, other then simply Googling one... hope it doesn't disqualify me.

 

[StitchExperimen]

I would like to get in on the Steam game give-away. I like FPS just not Serious Sam. The cat here is a long hair and is to old for cute... we don't own Oreo it owns the house and where-ever it lies down and stretches out. Oreo is so lazy it had to go get a hair cut like a poodle.
Thanks,
Bruce

 

[Annisman*]

Google pictures are perfectly fine, personal ones are of course better!

 

[N4n45h1]

This is really a great thing you're doing! I'm interested in entering for the Corsair H80 cooler.

- List your PC specs
CPU i5 3750k @4.2 GHz
Current Cooler CM Hyper 212+ Evo
Mobo Gigabyte Z77X-U3DH
GPU Gigabyte GTX670 2GB Windforce
RAM 16GB DDR3-2133 Samsung low profile
SSD Intel 520 240GB
HDD Seagate Barracuda 1TB
Case Corsair 400R
PSU Seasonic X-650

- Tell me have you ever overclocked your CPU ? Would you do it if you won the cooler ?
I have overclocked my cpu! However, I feel as if my cooler is holding me back in terms of achieving the clockspeeds that I want. That or I'll have to try delidding it...but the process of doing so scares me.

- Give me your CPU history (for example mine would be AMD 3700 > AMD 4800 > Intel E6600 > Intel E8400 > Intel Q9650 > Intel i7 920 > Intel i7 3930K.
To be honest, while I was in high school, my parents were against gaming and etc, but I did always have a computer to use. As a result, my CPU history is kind of pathetic =[
Here are the CPU's of computers that were "mine":
AMD 64 3000+ > Intel Core 2 Duo P9600 > i5-3570k

- Post a funny picture involving 'I can has cheezburger'

- Sit back and relax, you're entered.

 

[blackdogdeek]

50$ Steam game(s)

Restrictions: None

Directions (All of these must be done):
- Tell me what game(s) you would choose if you won.

Probably Borderlands 2. Possibly The Secret World.

- Think hard about your favorite game of all time, what is it ?

This one is tough but it's either AC2 or KOTOR. AC2 really made me think more than i have in a long while and i loved my time travelling through italy. KOTOR captured the magic of everything i loved about the SW universe as a kid. It's still the only game i've ever played through twice.

- (Optional) post a funny picture of an animal, cat, dog, guinee pig, whatever you want. Because I can't get enough !

This is my dog, Browser (my kids named him). He is unimpressed.

I really want to try out DayZ and I am sure there are a few others I would like, too

- Think hard about your favorite game of all time, what is it ?

Wow, so tough. I am going to have to go with Metal Gear Solid. Such a great story, great interactive game and was just a ton of fun. I loved the entire series, I can't pick out one game I liked the best.


- (Optional) post a funny picture of an animal, cat, dog, guinee pig, whatever you want. Because I can't get enough !

I still don't know how to embed pictures in my posts..After all the years you'd think I'd learn... but I don't. Somebody please help?

Razer Tiamat 7.1 Circumarual Surround Gaming Headset sounds great. My Sennheiser headphones were so old the foam actually crumbled and fell apart.

Right now, still playing Skyrim.

Specs are in my sig and thanks for doing this.

Added cute "cat" pic.

HIS IceQ X Turbo 7850

Rig is in sig.

Currently playing Darksiders 2 and L4D2, but I also have a huge backlog (damn steam sales). Have dual monitors, would love to run both screens or maybe even add a third !

[KillerBee]

Here's my entry for the HIS IceQ X Turbo 7850

Asus X58 Extreme M/B w/ I7-920
6GB Crucial DDR3 PC3-10700 memory
2GB HD WD20EARS
1GB HD WD10EADS
Corsair CX430 P/S
MSI NVidia NGTS250 w/ 512M memory

Mainly sick of getting butt kicked at BF3 since I have to run at the lowest res and want to upgrade my GTS250

Well at least I like to think it's because of my graphics card
(it couldn't be my obvious superb BF3 skillz )

Thanks much Annisman for the contest chance

Bonus pic for added points ...

Razer Tiamat 7.1 Circumarual Surround Gaming Headset
These headphones are phenomenal for first person shooters, and pretty average for everything else. Though I often play FPS, I couldn't stand swapping them out with my SteelSeries Siberia V2 cans to listen to music with. So now that I don't use them they're up for grabs. Oh, and they're about 2 weeks old with maybe 10 hours of total use, practically brand new.

Restrictions: You may not enter for the headset if you already have a mid/highend headset already. Use common sense, I would say if they cost more than 50 dollars they are at least mid range.

You must have either a sound card with 7.1 inputs (front, rear, side, sub, mic) or 7.1 inputs on your motherboard, which many now have. These headphones cannot be used without these inputs as they are physically 7.1 not 2.0 ! If you are not sure what you have you can ask in this thread.

You must have at least 50 posts at the time of entering, if you enter without having 50 posts you will not qualify.

This is not a restriction, but I strongly suggest anybody considering entering for these headphones be an avid FPS gamers, and either have a decent 7.1 soundcard or are planning on getting one. Again, not a restriction just a very logical suggestion, as if you plan on using these to play music or don't want to invest in a 7.1 soundcard you will be shortchanging what this headset is actually made for.

Directions (All of these must be done):

- List your computer specs
Phenom Quad Core 9550
Win 7 Ultimate
Asus 7850
Logitech G500
Logitech G15
OCZ Vertex 2 64gb
6GB Corsair DDR2
Asus M2N32SLI Deluxe
WD 1TB Black HD
Asus 26" LCD Monitor
Headphones are older Plantronics with a frayed cord that are in dire need of getting replaced
- Tell me what games you play/what your favorite games are.
I mainly play FPS
BF3 is top of the list as a favorite
Others I play DoD:S, BFBC2, MOH, LFD, LFD2, WoW, BF2 series
- Post a picture of the cutest cat you can find on the interwebs

- Sit back and relax, you're entered.
