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.

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

By calling other peoples opinion horse sh*t, you're doing nothing but add to the problem.

But , a darn funny reply... Even though it's partially aimed at me.

Hey, but what about that prize.  Man, that would make my millenium, and all I have to do is be the millionth (old or new) customer to buy a piece of software through Impulse.  What a great thing for Stardock to do for the community.

If anyone feels the need to assasinate anymore characters, then please just attack mine and get this over with.

It IS a really nice thing to do, it's not for the community though. It's for a random new customer who may not be interested in the community at all.

This pretty much sums up my problem with this whole thing.

Sorry you think so Mick.  Every give-away contest out in the great big world is usually only for one big winner.  We would all like to win something so nice, but why don't we just be happy for the winner.

The subject was equine anatomy,not fertilizer.

Is it old or new? If it is , I apologize for anything I said.

Somehow everyone of you tend to interpret my comments as some kind of greedy whining... I don't care if *I* am ineligible for the win, my issue is that pretty much *everyone* already in the community is ineligible (unless going through the trouble of making multiple accounts for the sole purpose of trying to win, which most of us will NOT do, because we have a sense of what's right).

Don't think for a second that I would not be happy for the winner, because I will be. I hope it's someone who can put the beast into good use, and if it's not, well... It's the way random events goes sometimes.

With that spec, it's definetely not old... It *could* be used, which I doubt, but I don't see how that would make anyone less happy with it.

Thanks for that Mick, because I just won.......just kidding!

I for one will congratulate the person who wins, and I hope the winner is announced, just in case it is one of the ...mmm....complainers about this give away by Stardock. ...just my 2 cents worth...

The thing with the Dominoe effect is that once it all starts falling -err- dropping on each other, none is left standing unless the last stays up - in which case, you'd need to put a few thousands back where they were to try it all over again.

Strangely, people are exactly like that with a slight difference - we like to guess where the tumbling COULD stop if only to laugh about who incorrectly place these Dominoes.

I'm caught in a loop, just like everyone else not only because i enjoy Dominoes but also because i have no influence over the result.

Bad luck included.

Not so.  Everyone in the "community" is not necessarily a customer.

meh I had a reply but never mind. This isn't worth it.

i enjoy Dominoes

Me too,great pizza!!!

( My comments were meant as a joke,sorry you didn't "get it")

on Mar 22, 2009

Oh, i got it alright - i laughed all the way to the barn down the street.

Human emotions are complex enough that if we were to add chaos & misunderstandings into the 'controversy', we'd get more than just Dominoes like conversations, ever here.
