snagged a free $500. We have a great "One-A-Day" contest

we managed to do it...so stay tuned, we will give one a way for a week (6
chances to win!)

I am just now getting to the 3207 e-mail I received over the weekend, I
will wade through it throughout the day for winners claiming their
prizes. I apologize for not having this done already but I forgot that
this weekend was the State Fair here so I have been side tracked with
the family all weekend and didn't get any e-mail answered or work done.
Again, I apologize and will look for responses to the confirmation
notices today.

I have 5 Radeon X600XT cards coming in for another one a day for a week
giveaway that will probably be held the last week of August. In the mean
time I have a shorter giveaway coming up for $2000.00 worth of gift
cards from Best Buy.
I am not sure of the denominations yet, but as soon as I know I will
post the information. Stay tuned!
KGR #12
Specs: -Steve
For those of you wanting to know what the specs on the Killer Gaming Rig
#12 are, I have some preliminary information. The KGR #12
will have an Athlon64 3500+, VapoChill, Radeon X800Pro with two 200GB
SATA hard drives. I am working on a monitor sponsor for a nice LCD and a
few other small items like RAM and such. I am kicking it into high gear
so make sure you get your daily entry in! If you know of a sponsor for
any of the above listed items, let me know!

Well, it took a little longer than I thought, but both winners have now responded!
Congratulations to Terence Manist and Kevin Guarina!
Arrangements are being made for FedEx delivery of their prizes. Once
again, a huge Thank You goes out to everyone who makes these charity
drives possible. Proceeds from the drive will be delivered to Penny
Arcade ASAP. Since we couldn't find one of those HUGE lottery looking
checks we'll just have to settle for a sending a regular size
check.

Thank you to all who wished me a Happy Birthday today. I am 36 today and
it doesn't bother me a damn bit! I sincerely appreciate all the well
wishes and kind words. I have to say a collective "Thank You"
to all of you since there is no way on earth I could respond personally
to everyone. Again, much thanks...and I should have charity drive
winners names posted later this evening.

The charity drive for Penny Arcade's Child's Play is now closed. I want
to thank everyone for their overwhelming support. I big thanks to all
the PA readers who made this one of the fastest charity drives we've
ever had. All the money was raised in just over 18 hours. Simply amazing!
We will have the winners names posted within the next 24 hours. Again,
many thanks for another successful drive.

Here it is, if you want to make a $5 donation to one of the best charities on
the planet, click this link and see how Hypothermia readers are coming
together to make a donation to Penny Arcade's Child's Play. For more
information hit the link and get involved.

Stay tuned, your chance to get a $5 computer is near. The next
donation drive is almost upon us...
08.11.04
-Steve
Well, it looks like you guys have spoken, over 8,750 people voted to do
the charity drive now and only 67 people said no, wait until December. I
have almost all the hardware here to put together two charity drive
systems and it will only take me a day or so to set up the drive. I will
announce details tomorrow and probably open this up in the next few days,
tops.

Over the last month I have gotten at over 950+ e-mail asking me to do a
computer charity drive now instead of the holiday season (around
Christmas time) because during
the holiday season people spend their extra money on gifts for their
family, leaving less to donate to charitable causes. The argument is
this; I am only going to do one more drive
this year, I already have the computers ready for the donation drive and
the charity is already selected so who cares if I do it now or wait
until the first of December as I originally planned. What
people are saying is that they have the $5 - $25 dollars right now to donate to
charity and try to win a computer...but might not have spare money
during the holidays.
Since that makes total sense, and
this website is after all dedicated to YOU guys, I will let YOU decide. If the
overwhelming majority want it now, I will do it now. If the majority
think that doing it in December is best, I will do it then.

I get asked all the time if we accept donations for the upkeep of the
site and giveaways we do here, while we do not "actively"
request donations or anything like that, we added a "donate via
PayPal" button some time back to accommodate those of you wanting
to give something to help out with our day to day costs of running this
site. As always, thanks!
