    I've voted monitor because size is important *ahem*
    But for me cpu+mobo would probably be the best prize I could win, finally upgrade my old C2Q 6600 :)

    I could realy use an upgrade to my system. Definitely cpu/mobo/memory has my vote! :)

    Voted for monitor, only because it's so freaking hard (or expensive via Dell) to get bigger than 24 inch and 1080p. :(

    I think this is second or third competition I've seen here, but first I've joined. Nice one TS. :)

    Count me in for this contest please!

    I'm hoping for the CPU/mobo/memory combo. I'm running one of the first 939 Athlon x2 procs (3800+) that AMD made, with an Abit Av8 mobo, and DDR-400 memory... boo! I'm in definite need of an upgrade!! Oh, and my GPU is a Radeon AGP 9600xt :-( ...my rig is fine for surfing the net, but forget about an modern gaming!

    Thank you!

    I wish myself and others a big luck! :)

    I voted for the Geforce GTX 460. I'm building a custom PC in my workshop for myself for gaming and have made a list of my specifications and this is the graphics card I chose. It would be awesome to get it.

    I voted for the iPad. I live in Botswana and they haven't released it here yet. Some people do get it through grey importers but it costs a lot. I really like portable technology as it allows me to work and play on the road. I travel often during the weekend with my parents to visit my grandparents and the drive is quite monotonous.

    I have never owned a tablet, but I think it should be great. I can't afford to buy apple products (even if it were available) here where I live as it is always beyond the budget my parents give me. I have a sylvania 7-in netbook, but it's performance is sad :<. I have read and seen so much about the iPad that I really wish I had it. One person at our school had bought one when he went on holiday to USA, and now he is like *GOD*. I really likethe idea on which the iPad is based on.

    I was also thinking about voting for the monitor. I really need to upgrade my samsung 920nw as it is getting old and and it only accepts D-Sub (the usually blue plug, I think it is also called VGA/RGB) connection. My graphics card supports HDMI but my monitor doesn't. It is an nVidia GF GT210, and it lets me play NFS Shift and some other games at low-medium settings with playable framerates. THe 27-inch would be great for watching movies. The reason I didn't choose it is because, it is something that is available here and I know that I might be able to eventually get it, but the iPad is not so likely.

    I really really want this iPad but I don't usually have luck to win stuff for free. I have never in my life won something "for free". May the force be with me...

    I'd love a new cpu/mobo/memory and build a new system, mine is getting too old..sign me up!

    Definitely monitor. Other prizer are also compelling and I could use any of them.

    Shiny graphics card would be nice :)

    I picked the Budget laptop or netbook. It would be for my wife as she is always sharing her PC with her kids and she needs something of her own.

    CPU/mobo/memory - Graphics Card seems easier to fit with the family budget for the holiday season :)
    27" - soo tempting...
