It’s been a long time since I’ve even mentioned OverclockersClub.com here on my site. It feels kind of strange. But this post isn’t about the past. It’s about, well as the title suggests, the OverclockersClub.com Christmas Contest. And one heck of a contest it is at that!
There are currently over 50 prizes available to registered members, and they just recently added more.
If I’ve done my math right, the grand prize itself is worth nearly $5K. More on the prizes in just a moment.
To be eligible for the contest, you need to be a member of the community (signup) and send an email to the OCC contest address with a certain keyword in the subject, and some other information in the body. The exact details are in the previous links, so it wouldn’t be fair for me to give the info away. 
Additionally to qualify for the awesome grand prize, you’ll need to have a minimum of 50 [quality] posts in the forums.
Now, for the goodies (so far):
