    Yah, I ended up having to flip a coin between the cpu/mobo/memory and SSD, with the SSD winning... Building a new Win7 computer this winter anyhow, so either of those 2 options would be a great.

    It seems that the budget netbook isn't as popular as I had hoped, but I can keep my fingers crossed. My poor netbook has certainly seen better days.

    I voted for the Ipad because it is totally unlike anything that I already have.

    I voted for the CPU/Motherboard/Memory combo because I 'worke4d it out' that the Core i7 alone is about the same value or more than any of the other prizes... and you win a motherboard and memory supporting that CPU? if so that's brilliant.

    And I've been wanting to build a intel based gaming PC since I finished my AMD one but I just haven't saved the money to do it yet(buying games etc =P) winning these components will be a great 'head start' to that PC build =)

    I voted for the Monitor, my current monitor is showing it's age.

    i dont think anyone can beat a brand new spanking 27" LG monitor. We look at the monitor DAILY, and our eyes will certainly thank us for having a nice monitor. peace!

    count me in on the 27" monitor.

    I've been wanting to upgrade my video card to a GTX 460, so that's where my vote went :D

    SSD for sure, I've been considering one for the longest time, and this just might be my chance!

    Would love the monitor too, but I don't have any more space on my desk.

    iPad please! Cuz I can sell it to a fanboi and get 3 GTX 460s :)
    The other prizes look great but my system is still pretty new

    I voted for a solid state drive! I currently have a 320gb hard drive; but the sheer speed, efficiency and tenacity of an SSD would bring new life to my aging PC!

    Not a Mac guy at all but my wife is in love with the Ipad. I have to get her one for Christmas so it tops my list. That, and I just can't justify 2 PCs per person in the house (not including phones, DVRs and consoles)...although an upgrade...

    27" monitor definitely. I need a new monitor! Come on Techie Spot, I am a poor Network Engineering student in need! :D

    I have to go with the GTX 460, because I've already got all of the rest of that stuff. Well, except for the iPad. Ok, so I don't have ALL the rest, but the GTX 460 is what my system is missing to make it more uber awesome than it already is.

    Voted...Ipad for all the reading I do... ;-)
