It didn't have a caption, but I think that's the best haz cheezeburger pic I've ever seen. Go #42!
Not to litter up the thread with useless posts... especially since I generally dislike all the lolcat pics. But I saw this and I laughed. It begs to be captioned "I really CAN haz cheezeburger!!!"
Sit back and relax, you're entered.
Very nice idea! Though I would qualify for a couple of other categories I am not living in the US, so game it is for me! I am seeing the prices in euros so not quite sure if I stick within the 50 USD limit...50$ Steam game(s)
Have you browsed the above items and found you don't need or want any of them ? Is your post count too low to enter ? Is your rig so uber that you don't qualify to enter ? Then this is the item for you to enter for ! Anybody and everybody who didn't enter for a piece of hardware may enter for this one.
If you enter for this and win, I will steam-gift you a steam game, or a handful of games not totalling more than 50 USD$
I have been known to increase the number of these Steam gifts depending on demand. So it is possible I may increase it to two or three gifts of 50$, but I may not as well.
Restrictions: None
Directions (All of these must be done):
- Tell me what game(s) you would choose if you won.
- Think hard about your favorite game of all time, what is it ?
- (Optional) post a funny picture of an animal, cat, dog, guinee pig, whatever you want. Because I can't get enough !
- Relax, you're entered.
Just wanted to say that this is a very cool thing to do.
I'm out of the running for everything, but congrats for the winners!
(My gaming backlog is way too big, better for some one who really wants a game or two)
I will enter you, please post a pic of a kitteh in lieu of a pc !

Razer Tiamat 7.1 Circumarual Surround Gaming Headset
This image has been resized. Click this bar to view the full image. The original image is sized 1599x956 and weights 356KB.
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
- Tell me what games you play/what your favorite games are.
- Post a picture of the cutest cat you can find on the interwebs
- Sit back and relax, you're entered.
Good luck to everyone

HIS IceQ X Turbo 7850

Lovely little card, comes with an excellent overclock and one of the best coolers around. This card is just over a month old, it has been used in my brother's PC. It is no longer needed because I recently swapped it with one of my three GTX670 4GB, which sadly never gave me much advantage over just SLI.
Restrictions: You may not enter if your current video card is at GTX 560 (Nvidia) or 5850/6870 (ATI) or higher. This is not a very high bar, but it should allow a fair amount of people to enter, and to also be getting a legitimately decent upgrade if they win, which is the important part.
Not sure where your card matches up ? Check this GPU heirarchy chart to see if you can enter. http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-graphics-card-review,3107-7.html
Secondly, you must have at least 75 posts here at Anandtech at the time of entering. If you enter with less than 75 posts you will not be qualified.
Thirdly, you must have an available PCI-E slot, and a proper power supply (brand name, greater than 400W I would imagine.)
Directions (all of these must be done):
- List your computer specs
- Tell me briefly what you hope to use the card for and what games you play.
- post a picture of your rig !
- sit back and relax, you are now entered.

Lastly, I do these giveaways out of the goodness of my heart (and wallet) please be honest about your PC specs, if your cooler, headphones or video card exceeds the limit to enter, then don't enter. The Steam game giveaway was made specifically to give everybody a chance to win something, so enter for that instead. My giveaways are honest, and I expect honesty from those participating. Let's keep things as smooth as possible so I will be allowed to do more of these, if you have any questions about the giveaway, go ahead and ask, or send me a PM.
Good luck to everyone
Er, Jhu, you realize you can only do OpenCL development on an AMD card?What I plan to use the card for: mainly CUDA development.
