Wednesday, 01 August 2007
Welcome to the Mikhailtech August 2007 Giveaway. This month marks our largest giveaway ever - over $900 in computer hardware prizes!! Our first premier sponsor Kingston is going to hook you up with several dual channel kits of HyperX DDR2, totaling 6GB and including some of the world's fastest RAM, PC-9600 (1200MHz)!! Our second premier sponsor Brando is giving away an assortment of items including a universal solar charger, a USB mini fridge, a 55-in-1 Bluetooth card reader/USB hub, a USB missile launcher, and more! Also sponsoring the giveaway is Noctua with a couple of their low noise fan kits and XtracPads giving away a Ripper XXL mouse pad. All in all, we have 12 individual prizes up for grabs totaling more than $900. Keep reading for the exact prizes and how you can win. There's almost nothing to it!
Initial entry is very simple. All you have to do is register in our forum (it's free and takes about a minute, just remember to provide a valid email address as it's required for account activation) and make a post in this thread. Just one post is all it takes for a chance to win! This counts as your initial entry and gives you 1 chance to win. At the end of the month we'll randomly select winners for all the prizes listed above (except 1).
But that's not all! You can improve your chances to win by...
Posting. Here's how it works:
Every 100 posts will get you an extra entry. So let's say at the end of the month you've contributed 300 posts. That comes out to be 4 entries (1 initial entry + 3 entries for every 100 posts). This only takes into account posts you've made during the month of August.
As an additional incentive to those forum members who stay with us long-term, every 2000 posts gets you a permanent extra entry into each monthly giveaway. In other words, if you have 4000 posts already and contribute another 300 this month, you get 6 total entries (1 initial entry + 2 entries for every 2000 posts + 3 entries for every 100 posts).
The Top Poster at the end of the giveaway will receive the Kingston HyperX 2GB PC9200 memory kit. All other winners will be randomly selected.
You can find a list of the top 20 posters, updated in real time, here. You can also access it by clicking on the "Top Posters" link in the top navigation menu of the forums.
Extra entries improve your chances of winning because even though it is a random drawing, your name will have a greater chance of being pulled from the hat.
Here's some additional information - fine print if you will. Please read as this is very important!
Giveaway ends at an undisclosed time on August 31, 2007. All post counts up to this day will be counted. Posts made on August 31 may or may not be counted.
Winners will be selected the first week of September 2007.
Each winner will be notified via email (same address you provide during your forum registration) and will be given 48 hours to respond with shipping information.
Should a potential winner not meet the requirements (invalid email address, untimely response, irrelevant forum contributions i.e. spam, etc) we will select someone else until we have all the winners we need.
Each winner is limited to 1 prize per giveaway.
Only U.S. residents may enter.
This page will be updated with a list of winners (using their forum usernames) shortly after the end of the giveaway.
Giveaway is subject to change without notice.
If you have questions or would like to discuss any parts of this giveaway, you can do so in this thread.
That's it! Get in our forum and start posting. We've got over $900 in brand new computer gear and we have to give it somebody. Might as well be you! And please check out our sponsors for this month - it wouldn't be possible without them: Kingston, Brando, Noctua, and XtracPads. Good luck!
