UPDATE

To All,

There has been an unfortunate turn of events regarding this competition that we feel you all need to be made aware of in order for us to protect our name as a trustworthy and reputable website.

Enermax UK - providers of the Infiniti 650w Power supply prize have withdrawn from the competition, leaving our USA based winner without a prize. Enermax have informed us that this is due to the winner not being based in the UK despite not making any delivery terms clear prior to the competition. Our efforts to resolve this issue with Enermax have proved fruitless, and despite Enermax having headquarters in the USA, they are not prepared to provide the winner with his promised prize.

We certainly do not want the winner to go away empty handed, and are currently trying to make arrangements for an alternative prize. Rest assured the winner will not go empty handed.

In addition to this, it is with regret that I need to inform you that we are withdrawing the Enermax Support forums from Overclock3D for the foreseeable future.

Feel free to lodge your concerns, comments or questions on our forum: http://forum.overclock3d.net/showthread.php?t=10220

Update #2

Tagan has indeed stepped up to the plate, another one of our partners in which we host their support forum for. They have agreed to ship the winner a TG1100-U96 TurboJet! This is actually a much better prize than originally offered by Neverevermax (as Tagan likes to call them :)). So everyone give Tagan a round of applause for stepping up to the plate!

[alexio]

The answers for the 5th question are both wrong, they should have specified "12v rails" instead of just "rails".

[fireandice]

To All,

There has been an unfortunate turn of events regarding this competition that we feel you all need to be made aware of in order for us to protect our name as a trustworthy and reputable website.

[freakBYnature]

Yeezez christ! WTF is wrong with Enermax on this one? "Not a UK winner"... A real "go to hell company"!

[phelan1777]

that Fing blows......................i should mail my Emx PSU back to them and demand my money back.

[Kasparz]

Well, it just brings enermax down in my eyes. Seeing these Gskill and OCZ giveaways lately brings these companies more reputable for me. Not to mention great OCZ and Gskill RMA and so. Shame enermax, shame...
These giveaways will not hurt business, but that will bring company more and more reputable, and that will only help to sell products.

[kiwi]

Wont buy enermax :p:

[dinos22]

that's pretty screwed up from Enermax :slapass:

i think i would like these organisers to remove my details off their database now since this could have been me too....i would feel extremely cheated over this

[FragTek]

Trust me, we're going to get the winner a prize that's at least as nice as the PSU originally guaranteed to us by Enermax. We feel very betrayed by this, especially considering the fact that OC3D used to host their support forum. Since the incident we have chosen to drop their forum from our list.

We will keep everyone in the loop as to what prize will be issued to the winner of this prize.

[twiggy]

Looks like Tagan stepped up and is gonna give the winner a 1kw PSU! Tagan, that is friggin awesome of you! :toast: :clap: :clap:

[INJViper]

I'll never but an Enermax product.This is just shameful of them.. Solid companies don't pull this kind of crap...

[FragTek]

Tagan has indeed stepped up to the plate, another one of our partners in which we host their support forum for. They have agreed to ship the winner a TG1100-U96 TurboJet! This is actually a much better prize than originally offered by Neverevermax (as Tagan likes to call them :)). So everyone give Tagan a round of applause for stepping up to the plate!
