Nice competition, thanks Tom, Intel and Gigabyte. If I have forgotten to thank any other sponsor of this competition, I apologize.
No offense to smorgan87 or anyone else, but I think that I probably have the oldest system here that is used on a day-to-day basis. My system is a dying 9-year-old laptop with a 1.5GHz Intel Pentium M, 1GB DDR 333MHz RAM, an ATI Radeon 7500 with 32MB DDR-SDRAM video memory, 15.0" XGA (1024x768) screen and an 80GB hard drive.
I have been meaning to upgrade to a newer and better system but I have not been able to yet because of life and my credit card company, VISA, screwing me over. I had a massively huge fraudulent charge on my credit card but VISA would not cover it. So much for their "zero-liability" statement. So now most if not all of my limited funds go towards paying that fraudulent charge.
I really hope that I win this motherboard and processor. I think that I can find enough money to get a small SSD, a Corsair H60, a cheap but nice looking case and a good PSU, in order to complete the system.
I think that I will be able to borrow either a 7970 or 7870 engineering sample from my company, AMD Markham. If they will not let me have one of these samples, I can use the "decent" integrated GPU.
With that system, I will be able to work more efficiency at home and play some modern games too.
But good luck to all that have or will enter this competition.

As a broke college student still rocking a Core 2 Duo, I really want this to happen. Seriously, LGA 775.
Good luck to all.
