As you might know, we announced that Stardock will be giving away a custom built gaming PC worth over $4000 to the millionth Impulse customer.  I was told the specs, and I’m just in awe of what an awesome machine this is.

I wanted to share the specs of the gaming PC just to give you a taste.  I will update the post once we get some pictures taken.

Custom Built:

  • Case: Ikonik RA-X10 Full Tower
  • Processor:  Intel Core i7-965 Extreme Edition 3.2 GHz
  • RAM: 12 GB DDR3/1600 MHz Corsair
  • CD:  Sony 5X Blu-Ray Player/DVD-RW Burner
  • Power: 1,000 Watt Power Supply
  • Video: 2xATI Radeon 4870x2 in Crossfire
  • Monitor: 24" LCD Widescreen
  • Sound: Creative Labs SoundBlaster X-Fi Fatality Pro
  • Speakers:  Logitech Z-5500 5.1 Surround System
  • HD:  2 TB RAID-0
  • OS:  Microsoft Vista Ultimate 64-bit

Whoever ends up with this, is going to be one lucky gamer.

completely agree. The way that Stardock has sub drives and such to get us to subscribe and renew and that sort of thing and now they pull this bullshit?

I'll remember this the next time I see a sub drive. I implore the rest of you to do the same.

And how the hell is Impulse something worthy of a prize anyways ?

You are exactly the kind of person I mentioned earlier. If this were my company, you'd be gone.

All I've ever seen you contribute to this site over the years is to piss on it and the people who run it.

I'd rather see the site close than you get the pc.

Oh I'll still buy stuff. But I'm not about to buy extra stuff just because there's a 'sub drive ' or anything

Wanna stereotype me? Then all you've done , Fuzzy Logic , is nuthug and bitch when someone questions the party line. Oh , and post star trek themed pictures. Happy that I stereotyped you? I couldn't care less who gets the PC. Even if it was you.

I'd really hate to be finger pointed as being responsible for this envy mess of an online ride by some if you all should read reply #8 in this thread;

So much for generosity, good will and community spirit.

calm down before you inspire some more people to yell at you because they like to pretend that they are too morally superior to wish they could get the computer

I never claimed to be morally superior.  Just superior.   

(You are what you eat, or drink in this case.  I'll have one of these...)

SD announce a prize to celebrate a milestone and this happens. Rational thought and arguement mean nothing in here.

Mods...Lock?

Glad thats over.

You'd think a game should be fun to play - on any potentially available new gear (by luck, or otherwise!) even when we have lucid dreams, daily.

So far 999,750 and counting, with a steady ratio of 50 per week (or more) we all should be able to snap out of it within the next 5 weeks or less.

(Sorry everyone, no link for an appropriate image to better illustrate such a thought!)

It's a sad world, unfortunately. Stardock are generous enough to offer a pc for the one millionth purchase and all people can do is stomp their feet like small children because they feel it's unfair in some way.

There's nothing more you can say.

You can do one of two things: congratulate the one millionth customer on their new pc, or spend your day being miserable because you think you are hard done to.

It's a sad world because too few people care about how things affect other people (specially when they have no reason to see the issue). It's way easier to just see what you want to see, and let life go on as if everything is ok.

That's VERY evident in these threads. Just because some people see things differently, other people feel the need to demean them by throwing insults, stupid jokes and whatever else they can come up with.

If everyone here had perhaps heard the phrase "looking a gift horse in the mouth" ..... AND actually comprehended its meaning..... none of this crap would be here on this thread.

Actually, the gift horse saying is totally irrelevant in this case. It's only relevant if the one who actually wins the computer starts complaining about it being inadequate.

I think this thread has more in common with the other end of the horse.
