Weekend -Steve
All the prizes for the current winners will be
shipped out Monday, since it is the weekend. We possibly have a new
monitor sponsor for the Killer Gaming Rig #7 a whopping 22" monitor
if all goes well. I will keep you posted and get some preliminary specs
up soon.
Winners
Selected -Steve
All the Asia a Day for a Week winners have been notified, I will leave
the contest open until we have a response from all the winners. The
prizes will ship directly to the winners...*cough* plain brown wrapping
*cough*, Thank GOD for FedEx...they pick up and deliver...and my FedEx
guy Ron is awesome. I just show him the stack of stuff, and he is all
over it.
Contest
Action -Steve
Remember a week ago I said that one of my readers, Reggie Jackson had
suggested an "Autographed Asia" giveaway?? Well, I took his
advice, and the lovely Asia graciously donated enough autographed 8x10
pictures for us to hold an Asia
a Day for a Week contest. All ages can enter, BUT the picture
you get WILL depend on proof of age. Again, big loves goes out to
Hypothermia's number one fan, Asia Carrera.
ENTER
HERE TO WIN!!!
KGR #7 -Steve
I am working with a local sponsor here in town to get the Killer Gaming
Rig #7 underway by getting a new 2.53GHz 533MHz FSB Northwood to power
this KGR ( which is faster than my
current 2.4GHz Northwood ). We
are looking into sponsors like last time with ABIT
that will donate significant portions of the contest. I also need a
monitor sponsor since we no longer have a regular sponsor for monitors.
I want to go BIG flat panel this time, but we'll see. It will be
watercooled for sure. The rest of the components are being decided. Have
something to offer?? Let me know.
Have a favorite company that you want to see involved with this...let
them know.

We have a winner for the All Black PC giveaway, and SHE, yes...I
said SHE responded today to say her trusty dusty E-Machines is
going into the trash!!! Pretty exciting stuff, makes me all the more
anxious to get the Killer Gaming Rig #7 started. Congrats to our winner C.
Caldwell from Pasco Washington!!!
Weekend
Stuff -Steve
I hope everyone is enjoying their long weekend. I spent all of last
night fixing all of the RatPadz
banners that reside on about 600 pages here. Since we moved to a new
site layout at [H]ardOCP, it
broke every RatPadz banner
image as well.
I have notified the Black PC
winner and I am waiting on the confirmation... if you get an e-mail from
"Hypothermia" Do not throw it away!!!
And finally, I have some
info on the Best Buy case where they responded fully to the Attorney
Generals office with flat out lies, but they admitted to the signs being
all wrong IN the stores, the admit to the incorrect pricing
online, etc. and they claim that they are not responsible for every
store that has given out the card at the correct price. What a bunch of
goofs...

One day left before I draw the name....you better hope that it is YOU
who wins this system. Hell, I would like to have this system!! It is
mucho better than my black PC set up <ouch>. Last
day to sign up...here's a picture of the system ready to roll.
Lisa Dixon
Stuff -Steve
Things are almost completely ready with the All Black PC....so get in it
to win it...now. Our honey Lisa Dixon sent me a very cool picture of her
in Flex Magazine. I would like to say that I admire here stretching
ability for the RIGHT reasons, but the primitive male in me takes over
when I see this.
We have the NEW Countdown to
Competition jumping off here soon....stay tuned.
Hypothermia
Hotties -Steve
I already told you about our resident super honey
Lisa Dixon coming up in an all new Countdown
to Competition, but one of our regulars, Reginald Jackson,
also gave me the idea for a very cool "One
a Day for a Week Contest" autographed Asia
Carrera STUFF!!! So I talked it over with Asia, and she's
cool with kicking you guys some autographed stuff too.... look for that
giveaway soon.

I am having a BLAST getting this whole Black PC Giveaway together...I
will definitely do this as often as possible between major giveaways
like the Killer Gaming Rig contests. I snagged this in the mail today

to win this thing NOW!!!

Here are a few sneak peek pictures of the BAD ASS watercooling set up
going on the All Black PC. I made the reservoir myself along with the
bracket system that will hold it in place. 500GPH pumps combined with
1/2" fittings makes for some serious cooling.... good stuff, have a
look.
Make sure you enter to win
this thing, we will be giving it away in a matter of days...ENTER
NOW!!!
Super Busy -Steve
Been super busy around here getting this Black PC contest together in
record time, it's not easy getting all this stuff together ( start to
finish ) in just 3 weeks. Just so you know, we will soon be changing the
site address to WWW.HYPOTHERMIA.US
, over the last two and a half years, I have been trying to get
Hypothermia.com from the jerks that have it now...but they won't get off
of it. The crappy part is, they are Cyber squatting on it since they own
the domain, but have not ever had a website on it in over 5 yrs. that I
have been checking....could be longer than that.
It just pisses me off that
someone can camp on a website name, never use it, and the person that
really wants it...can't even get someone to return a call. These
people have Hypothermia.com
and these people have Hypothermia.net,
and they have them just so no one else can have them. If anyone is a
Cyber Squatting legal expert, shoot me an e-mail.

Contest
Update -Steve
We have lined up everything for a quickie 3 week contest...this is NOT
the Killer Gaming Rig, but it is a hell of a system that anyone would be
proud to own. The beauty of it...it's ALL BLACK, inside and out. I have
gathered up all the components needed...even a nice big fat black 19'
Viewsonic monitor to go with this Black Beauty. Here's a peek at some of
what this rig will contain.

involved to get the parts I need to make the Black PC for giveaway. I

Buy news coming up later too.
