Wow, Wish I get lucky… Nice word-of-mouth Marketing. Thank You.
That’s a great list of websites. There are a lot I haven’t seen that I’ll have to check out. Congrats to The Gadgeteer for making the list!

Awesome contest. Atleast I can game again if I win one of these beauties. I am fed up of my 865 without any graphics card and 40GB HDD.
Good luck guys :o)
Just a hint: I’m looking for entries that will get the most attention from people. The whole idea is to get lots of new people to see my URL and visit the site. :o)
