Volitans Software Contest

The OCC Christmas Contest puts every other contest to shame, but chances to win free stuff is still good, right? By way of TUAW comes word of a contest by Volitans Software.

This contest is open only to U.S. residents and gives you the chance to win either a Barracuda 7200.11 SATA 1.5TB hard drive or a Momentus 5400.6 SATA 500GB laptop hard drive. You can enter the contest here. Winners will be announced on Christmas Day. Good luck!

Overclockers Club Christmas Contest

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. Continue reading

Neowin 8,000,000 Posts Challenge

Neowin.net turns 8 years old on October 1, 2008 and to celibate they are having a little challenge. If the Neowin forums can reach 8 million posts by 10/01/2008 then they will be selecting one active member and giving them a copy of Windows Vista Ultimate.

Ok, so it may not be the best price to win, but its sure better than buying the OS. ;)

What are the chances of hitting 8 million posts by then? Pretty good. 7 days left, they are already sitting at 7,984,042 total posts. All they need is 2,300 posts per day. Not a hard task if everyone helps out. When the contest was first announced (May 7th) they were sitting at 7,640,544 total posts which means they’ve been averiging 2,471.2 posts per day. See, we should be able to make it no problem!
