OCC’s 2009 Christmas Contest

If you haven’t gotten yourself entered in OCC’s 2009 Christmas Contest, you still have a few days left. The contest will officially end sometime on the evening of 12/24. Follow the instructions on the link above, and you’ll be entered. Those of you who are signed up for the OCC Newsletter or are fans of OCC on Facebook will get an additional entry for a total of three chances to win.

In addition to a kick ass gaming rig, you can also win a ton of stuff from Mushkin, ThermalTake, CoolerMaster, Sapphire, Asus, OCZ, VisionTek, Antec, and others. There is currently a total of 65 prizes available to win, and we may get some more added before the contest comes to an end. You never know. ;)

There are currently over 50 prizes available to registered members, and they just recently added more.
