[Rob Williams]

First off, I would like to thank every single person who took the time to enter our contests. We had many people join the forums.. much more than we anticipated. During the month, we had well over 3,000 new posts which is around 10x what we were averaged per previous months :)

Contest #1 - Pick a Slogan

There was an incredible response to this contest, with over 450 seperate slogan/tagline ideas. With the help of 17 friends including staff members, we have chosen the top three. I personally didn't vote on any, but I think the ones that pulled through are going to look great!

Contest #2 - Techgage Survey (5.8% chance of winning)

There were many suggestions thrown at us, and they could have been as in-depth or as simple as possible in order to be entered. We plan to take all the suggestions and evaluate them carefully and will implement the good ones!

The winner of this contest is =CDU=Above! Enjoy your lifetime hosting from Neosurge!

How winners for contest #2 and #3 were chosen: Due to the randomization capabilities of PHP, a small script was written that would grab all the potential winners from a remote file. After each winner, they were removed from the file so that they could not win two items. The %'s mentioned above were determined by how many total eligable winners were listed.

I will contact each of the winner to gather shipment info.

Thanks again for everyone who entered the contests, and sorry to those to left empty handed! This contest was a great success and there will be many more in the future.

[werty316]

Werty, you have got to be one of the luckest people I have ever met, you have got to have a complete new system by now...............:eek: Or close to it anyway...............:D

Thx sbrehm; yeah I can't believe how lucky I am. Should I mention everything that I have won overall? Nah, maybe not a good idea to brag;) Yeah I pretty much upgraded from a slow XP1400+ since I got the video card back in Dec. Also forgot, congrats to everyone else too ;)

[sbrehm72255]

Make sure that you post some OC's and benchmarks when you get that Ram or I'll hunt you down ....................;)

[werty316]

I think I will. This will be the first time I use memory that isn't TCCD so I will have to mess around with teh voltage. Also I will have to resort on using 2T which sucks as my board doesn't like 1T over 240MHz. I wish I knew this before I bought it :(

[=CDU=Above]

Congratulations to all. Wow, what a contest month huh?

Thank you so much to the guys at TechGage. Free hosting for a lifetime!!!
To tell ya the truth, as much as I liked: TechGage - Quality>Quantity ...I didn't think it would fly.

I just quit smoking so that lifetime thing might be a bit longer.

Again, congrats to all and thanks for the win.

[DarkSynergy]

Congrats to everyone that won prizes and thank you to all that participated. It really makes us happy to be able to have the opportunity to hold a contest like this. To all that didn't win, we all appreciate your participation and wish you the best of luck next time around.

Cheers to our first year and many more to come!

Woohoo! Yippie! :D

[BLuKnight]

Too awesome. Congradulations to everyone.

It'd be cool Techgage could put together a list of the slogans that were the funniest, wierdest, most original and such. I really enjoyed reading what everyone wrote.

Once again, contrats to all!

[PUTALE]

wow, werty won the big prize again. Man you have been winning everything.

Man I was hoping to win the big prize or some awesome hardwares but didin't get anything like sort. Well, at least I won somehting that's always cool.

Anyone doesn't want thiuer stuff and want to donate to me, I will be more than happy to accept them:).

[BlindMonk]

I like that idea. We came up with some funky stuff.

As to the actual contest... I'm half in shock I actually won something. BlindMonk isn't supposed to win stuff. This is freaky! I don't know what to do with myself...

*takes cue from fussnfeathers*

Thx I can't wait to give'em a run and see what OC'ing potential they have. Rob got it to 284Mhz so hopefully I can reproduce that OC. Other reviews I have read other reviews too and they all got this kit to +280MHz also.

[DarkSynergy]

How dare you go anywhere else! Just kidding.....

Congrats on the RAM bro!

[discharge]

It was a surprise to login Sunday and discover I won something.

I like to say thankyou to the staff of Techgage. :)

[madmat]

Winning stuff is always a high. I've won an old school X-Oxide case (back when they actually modded the stuff in house) and a red LED USB cable and I was just as happy about winning the cable as I was about the case.

Anyways I'd like to say that you're welcome and we thank everyone who entered for coming here and enriching our site.

[BlindMonk]

Oh, fantastic!

(this post = enrichment)

You are quite welcome. We are the ones who should be thanking all of you that helped us make this competition something to remember.

[Jen McPherson]

Congrats to all the winners on their prizes! I'd have to say that this was a really great contest, with a turn out of wonderful people. I hope to see your continued participation at the site and forums! -claps- Much applause for you all :D

[Rob Williams]

If anyone has given me their address info and hasn't received their prize yet, just let me know so I can look into it. Also, if you receive the prize, let me know also so I can scratch it off my list of things to worry about.

[Jakal]

Poor Rob, with so much going on :(. Add my name to that list though. I've been wondering when they'd show up.

[Rob Williams]

Well OCZ tends to be slow shipping things out, but you should still be receiving them shortly. It's not the reps who are slow, but rather the shipping department. No idea why.

[Jakal]

/me waits a thousand days

[werty316]

Nothing here either but I am patient; I should get it by the end of thiw week.

[discharge]

My package shipped out 10 days ago, and hasn't arrived. I'm getting a bit scared the package may of gotten lost.

I sent a PM to Rob. I hope he can perform a miracle and figure out where my package went. Will cross my fingers.

[PUTALE]

i stole your prize werty:)

[werty316]

Ah ha I knew something was up :p

[Sledgehammer70]

I got my prize today!!!! thanks Techgage :)

[werty316]

Thats good to hear. Nothing for me this week. Hopfully by next week. :(

[Jakal]

I just got in my ram. I thought I was getting a 2x512 kit. Ended up getting a 2x1024 kit :D:D. Hoping to push the system a little further with this set! Thanks to ALL the sponsors and especially to OCZ for providing such great prizes. Glad to have been here for the fun!

[werty316]

Thats sweet news that OCZ sent you a 2GB kits.:eek:

[Jakal]

Oh yes.. <a href ="http://www.ocztechnology.com/products/memory/ocz_el_ddr_pc_3200_gold_gx_xtc_2gb_dual_channel">Yes it is!</a> Check sig!

[madmat]

Congrats on your prizes guys! I hope you all enjoy them.

[Sledgehammer70]

dude I want ram :)

[werty316]

Today is a good day; a package arrived today and whats this?, just a bunch of pink styro-foam? no wait I'll dig further down the box and voila! 2GB of Corsair goodness :D

Thx again to Rob,the Techgage staff, the people who chose my slogan and of course the sponsors as this couldn't happen without them.

[Rob Williams]

Yeah man, gotta love Corsairs packing job. I think you could throw their packages off a mountain and the product would be safe.

Glad to hear you got it, let us know how you make out!

[sbrehm72255]

Have fun OC'ing that stuff.......;)

[werty316]

I messed around a bit and so far I got them upto 285MHz @ 3-4-4-8 1.65V. Maybe I can get more with more voltage. I posted my other results in the "General" section.

[sbrehm72255]

Ya, I just saw that in the post above........I guess I should start at the top and work my way down the forums instead of from the bottom up.

That looks like some pretty good OC'ing ram, to bad mine won't go over 250, but at least I get half way good timings at that speed.
