FredEx's competition prize

[tinytomlogan]

As many of the regulars will know FredEx won a 3570K as a part of the Custom Corsair Compo. I said I was going to try my best for him to get the parts to make it an entire rig. Some of the bits are new and some are ex-review bits I had here but all in all it should be a huge upgrade from his old rig!

Old rig:

AMD 6000+ X2
ECS TA690G
Brown Box 6870 1Gig
4 Gig RAM
360 Gig Seagate 7200 rpm
500 Gig WD 7200 rpm
Scavenged COMPAC case
Antec 500 watt PSU
Samsung Sync Master 226bw 22" monitor
Logitech wireless keyboard
Logitech wireless trackball mouse

This is really nice to see, awesome of you Tom. And also Corsiar and Gigabyte

Over the time he has been a member I have gotten to know FredEx a little and he genuinely seems like a lovely guy who really deserves something like this

This is the kind of time when I am honestly proud ot be a member of this forum.

[SeekaX]

lol. usually the guys in charge would try to ditch the winner on his price, here on OC3D he gets even more than he won. congratz fredex.

 

[piotrekhc]

Tom you deserve a nobel prize, for your generosity. You probably made his day braking news like that.

Good Job !

Most of the time I don't envy you tbh. The stress of reviewing hardware and having deadlines and stuff must be pretty hard, certainly something I couldn't cope with (you know why, many won't).

But it's something like this that I wish I could do for some one

It's always nice to see some one who is most deserving get a surprise like this.


It's a good day
