No Portuguese in the contest. I would win that thing easily.

But they want people with more than 19 years old and if they make an exam to my head they would find that I much younger.

It is a contest for old people of The US and surroundings. Carlos Pinho we can not go to this contest.

JPM congratulations for your birthday, I would stop there, you are getting older my friend.

1x EVGA SuperNOVA 750W Bronze Power Supply - $120
1x EVGA 500W Bronze Power Supply - $50

If a resonable number of us enter, i don't see how at least 1 team member can't win something, even if it's crappy :p

There's 1 more prize i forget to mention: $5000 in EVGA Bucks. That's alot of Hydro Copper Titans :D These EVGA Bucks never expire. 1 each available to the Americas, Europe and Asia.

And here's the link: http://www.evga.com/14/

Intel Steampunk Giveaway ENDS 2/8/2015

Buy certain Haswell CPUs, SSDs or NUCs and you get a voucher code. Enter the code and you could win a $20 Intel hoodie (100 available). Or you could win a sweet $3000 gaming/crunching rig with:
*8 core i7-5960X
*Asus X99 motherboard
*Intel 730 480GB SSD (2 of these)
*32GB DDR4
*GTX 980 (2 of these)

Here's Newegg's link for this promo: http://promotions.newegg.com/cpu/14-0012/index.html?icid=297716
Here's TigerDirect's link for this promo: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/campaigns/deals.asp?campaignid=3097

From what i've found, any Haswell 4xxx CPU qualifies, as long as it is i5 or i7. i3's do not count. Any Intel 730 series SSD qualifies. Any Intel NUC qualifies. This is according to the official rules, though Newegg is making it appear your selection is more limited than that.

Limit of 1 entry per person during the entire promotion. Please don't buy a dozen 4790K's trying to make your odds better :p

Alaska and Hawaii residients are not eligible, though Canadian residents are.

[FourOh]
