    A big Thank you to Gigabyte and Dinos22

    Since most of you folks don't get over to the WCG section often I wanted to post this here also.
    It's not often that a company does a good thing just for the sake of doing so but this just happenned.
    Dinos22 went to Gigabyte and they sent our WCG team 6-Gigabyte EX58A-UD3R boards.
    Very nice gesture on their part!
    More on this here:

    There wasn't/isn't any ulterior motive that I could/can see.
    Maybe a little exposure and a Thank you thread?
    It's not something they need as lets face it, their current boards are excellent and selling well.
    I had a X58 UD4 board here and no issues at all and I mean none.

    We see things differently. When someone does a good thing for me I don't question their motives,I say thank you and mean it.
    Maybe it's a cultural thing that makes us see things so differently or just our outlook on life but I see the glass as 1/2 full and you see it as 1/2 empty.
    At least thats how it appears to me.
    Maybe it's age and life experience that separates us.
    Your mid 20's,I'm late 50's and seen a lot of the bad in this world.
    Maybe that makes me appreciate the good things more than you do or at least not question them.
    Bottom line is they did a nice deed here and that is all that should matter to anyone.

    Even if the boards might have come out of the marketing budget I can't see anything wrong with it, I mean they could have spent the money on some additional cheap looking flash ads around the web instead, so why not give away some boards to help a good cause?

    Well, considering I just noticed the banner ads because of your comment, I think this had a much larger impact.
