Wanted to share.
Only for US :(

We’ve got some exciting news for you all today! To coincide with Intel’s official Skulltrail announcement that just hit the news wire, we’re announcing a sweepstakes of our own where you could win a full Skulltrail-based system, complete with dual graphics cards and a super-fast 10,000 RPM hard drive. We’re talking eight-cores of benchmark busting performance here, and it could be all yours!
HotHardware has partnered up with Intel to assemble a complete Skulltrail rig that we’ll be giving away to a randomly selected contributor to our on-line forum and discussion systems. The complete break-down of components in the system includes:


Processors: Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9775 x 2
Motherboard: Intel D5400XS ‘Skulltrail’
Memory: 2GB DDR2 FB-DIMM Memory
Graphics: GeForce 8800 GT 512MB x 2 (SLI)
Optical Storage: Lite-On 20X DVD-RW with Lightscribe
Hard Drive: Western Digital Raptor 150GB
Power Supply: Ultra X3 1000 Watt
Case: Gigabyte 3D Aurora (Black)


To be entered into the sweepstakes, you’ve got to be a registered, active member of our forum and a resident of the United States. If you’re not already a member, you can sign up quickly and easily (and for free), right here.

From this point forward, we’ll be monitoring discussions on the site and will be randomly selecting a winner based on community involvement and contribution. To increase your chances of being a winner, sign up for our HotHardware RSS News Alerts and we'll toss your name into the mix for double credit! The sweepstakes will run through to the end of the month at which point we'll pick the winner (Feb. 29).

This is a huge opportunity for to you to win Intel's BEAST of a system. Good Luck!

As noted in another thread here one has to be an "active"member at that site.
Trust me,they aren't going to "give" this away to someone that signs up this week..
Not trying to rain on anyone's parade but the truth is the truth.

Its really cool that XS participates in contests and all, but...it would be REALLY cool if the contests are not limited to US residents only, as...a lot of people, like me, are not US residents. :)

Wow, I wish I was more active on all the forums I am on, but working full time doesn't seem to allow me to post that much, not to mention I much prefer to read than post. Good luck and congratulations to whomever wins the Skulltrail Sweepstakes!

Yeah, im more of a troller than a poster. I dont have the resources to OC like most do on here. I just like seeing what people can do. Still a really nice comp for whatever, even if you dont plan on OC'ing.
