TechSpot Giveaway: 27-inch monitor, iPad, GTX 460??

It was a tough choice between the nvidia graphics card or the 27" monitor, I could use an upgrade for either right now (Monitor has a dead pixel though.)
 
Definitely the CPU/mobo/memory combo for me.

As an old timer who builds his own computers for quite some time (1985, and still doing it for friends), I grew increasingly frustrated for not being able to upgrade/replace my 5yo system. The dreaded financial crisis hit me hard.

So yes, it would be very nice to once more caress with my hands some sexy new hardware for a change! :)
 
Uhmmm Nice Giveaway :).

Hard choices

Deluxe Computer Case: Nice But dont need it at the moment :p

Budget laptop or netbook: I kinda need a netbook or tablet but i voted for the Netbook/budget laptop because of its more capabilities

27-inch monitor: Pretty Nice

Apple iPad: Best Tablet at this moment, nice for in bed or something :)

2TB external hard drive: Nice but i already have one :)

128GB solid state drive: Nice Speed boost for the PC

GeForce GTX 460: Nice Graphics card

CPU/mobo/memory combo: Also pretty nice.

Hard to chose :p
 
Was first thinking 27" monitor, but since I'll probably buy a new monitor anyhow I chose the iPad instead. Just thinking about an iPad in my hands makes me excited :)
 
I voted for GTX460 but only because I already have a ViewSonic VX2739 27" LCD monitor (full HD 1920x1080p 60Hz refresh) on my E8400/8800GT gaming PC (DVI-I connector), plus D-Sub connected Pentium4 workhorse PC (multi-boot WinXP & PCLinuxOS 2010.07). The GTX460 would be a serious upgrade in my gaming PC over it's existing 8800GT/512MB video card. Hope I win it .... !!
 
I voted for the iPad, lately I've really been wanting a slim tablet for reading e-books and pdf game manuals. So far the iPad is the best solution I've seen that's out now or in the near future.
 
Thanks for this opportunity. I voted for CPU/mobo/memory combo because I have a friend that can use some new innerds for her antiquated Dell and I'm just the guy to do that for her. I also hope to be a helpful contributing member to this website in my own small way.

Cheers
 
I nearly voted for the monitor - I work online from home as a freelancer using my PC and my monitor is only a 15 inch screen. However, because I no longer have time to watch TV, I've decided to start using my flat screen TV as a monitor for my PC. So, I decided to vote for the iPad as it will probably be quite a while before I will be able to buy one.
 
I'm thinking the 27 inch monitor. I just can't pass up that much screen real-estate. It would be a beautiful upgrade to my system.
 
I went with the cpu...seems intersting that way u can get a desktop with minimum specs and use it as a free upgrade :)
