» NVIDIA Ultimate SLI Gaming Rig Winner Announced!

We are pleased to announce the grand prize winner of the NVIDIA SLI Ultimate Gaming Rig in our big NVIDIA SLI Holiday Giveaway Contest!

StryderSilverton wins with this inspired bit of poetry:

Reflective water, setting sun, mist rising from the gun.
Worlds envisioned in the mind thought to remain unseen…
hardware enough to render on the screen.

Congratulations!

We'd like to thank everybody who participated in this contest. This has without a doubt been one of the most fun contests we've done so far on FiringSquad, and some of the creativity and thought shown has been truly impressive.

We'd also like to thank NVIDIA, who made this all possible, and NVIDIA's partners ASUS, EVGA, Foxconn and XFX.

i hate poetry :( i've tried using it for so long but only people with witty (well not witty actually) comments keep winning, finally I try going the witty way and the poetry starts winning again! ='( well congrats, *notices the winners absence*

well i hope my entry at least got someone to laugh

» Thanks everyone!
Thank you again for all the well wishes! I am so unbelievably excited about this! As an aside, I just read about LOTR Online adding Direct X 10 support and was hoping that some day I could run it, now I can (not to mention Crysis, COD4... and whatever else is around the corner)!!

When she is up and running... I'll send some pictures for those who are interested.

I've not been sending anything to the FS folks as once I found out someone else was sending them them emails etc I figured I didn't want to be a pest and add to their workload. In a way I am glad it wont arrive until this new year as if I had gotten it in 2007 I would have had to claim it on taxes and eat up some of my refund. :)

Hey Styder,

Let us know when you receive the new rig. Myself, Enkidu and Duckylam are all waiting for any word on when our prizes will be shipped. I'm planning on installing my new gear in a Cosmos case. Just need to figure out if it'll fit under my desk!

I still have not heard anything. Ducky... how about you? I don't need to know exact ship dates or anything, but I sure would like to know if any of my emails are getting through.

» Good news!
Just wanted to let you guys know I received a couple emails from Lyle today. He told me he's been in touch with Dan, and my prize is going to be shipped tomorrow (Jan 11)! Sounds like things have been pretty busy with CES. Hope you guys hear something soon as well.

Ducky,

Your theory about the sponsors might explain the delay, but I don't understand why we're all being kept in the dark. I'm sure all of us have sent several emails asking for updates. I'm trying to be patient and not become too much of a pest, but man, I'd really like to know what's happening. Not only did I go out and buy a new power supply and case, but I've made deals to sell my old MB and vid card...now that's probably going to fall through.

I wouldn't be too surprised if one of the manufacturers promised a part to the contest but hasn't delivered, and FS didn't want to ship unless everyone gets it at the same time so no one feels screwed.

Wish they would hurry it up a little though. I bought parts in anticipation for this. A little disturbing to have so much potential sitting there being so useless.

Ok... I will certainly let you know! I'm waiting to hear about shipment too, so glad I'm not the only one! :0)

Congrats to you as well!
