    December is around the corner and they're are prizes to be given out. What does the Bit-Tech community want to have given away? Video cards, SSD's, what?

    I prefer SSD's because most of you don't live in the US and shipping would be easier. Your thoughts please!

    ....We are not worthy.... but since you asked video cards are always my favourite! Or maybe even a Llano setup (ITX mobo and 3870k)

    Video cards, SSDs or OEM CPUs (saves on postage). Those would be my choices :)

    Video cards are always welcome. Could use one myself since my current one is throwing artifacts all the time lately.

    Other than that, the Folding team (Link1 Link2) can always put to good use almost any piece of hardware donated to them. Check the forum section.

    This. I don't know how your giveaways work, but it's incredible that you do this. But something that'd get people opening up their computers and having a good playaround and learning more is what I'd recommend.

    Recently rebuilt an old pc for my brother and instead of a normal "upgrade"(GPU, etc.) for his birthday he got a fan controller with 3 new casefans and a new CPU cooler. He now knows what different fan headers look like, how to use the modular system fo his psu and how to reseat, clean and re-TIM a processor and how important heat management is to his pc. Next week we'll try squeeze some more juice from the chip now that temps are down 5 degrees. He's loving it, so stuff like this would be a huge boost to the right person, moreso than any plug'n'play device, I'd hazard to guess.

    All of the above said, I'd LOVE to try crossfire, so another GPU would be lovely :naughty:

    Anything is welcome in a prize draw. Also all this reppage seems to have knocked you over 10000 into presidential candidate territory ;)

    What should Sandy Claws bring this year...? Apart from that most ingenious suggestion (that being an SSD) I'd say everything else one using essentially 5 year old tech could need. ;)

    Oh, and now we know who bought that one GTX 690. Looking forward to seeing reports on the news about the lights mysteriously dimming in Illinois. :p

    Congrats on the massive reppage btw!
