BWG's wife. I think she has taken over all of the garage GPUs.

 

Your points are looking pretty good yourself

Just a lowly 3060/3070Ti.

She wanted the prizes since she stays at home with the kids, so I let her use what's half hers to try and win.

Well she certainly won something. I'll put out the list of eligible prize winners tomorrow. We have enough prizes for everyone that typed IN, and didn't exclude themselves from prizing. Then we'll figure out who gets what and where it's going.

 

Congratulations everyone.

Prize Winners

Please message @damric very soon to claim your prize. There are four $25 cash prizes, 256GB NVMe PCIE 3.0 drives, Samsung Ear buds, and even a stick of DDR4 SODIMM. It's easier to send the cash prizes to those overseas, so if you are in the USA, please pick a non-cash prize, send me your address, and I'll get it to you soon.

Who folded as paperclip? I didn't see an "IN" for that one, and a few more on the score card. If I missed anyone, let me know. If you excluded yourself and change your mind and want a prize, also let me know ASAP.

 

I'd like to have everyone's prize info by Friday so I can pack some padded envelopes and get things shipped Saturday.

I don't have any need for a prize but forgot to exclude myself.  @Cerberus mentioned needing several SSDs, could you send them an extra on my behalf?

Absolutely. Thank you.

[damric]

Ok check it out. I'm packaging these Toshiba SSDs rather cheaply in taped cardboard shell and padded envelopes. I only tested them by booting up to the BIOS then doing the sanitation command. I have a few extras, so just in case a couple don't survive shipping or decide to crap out like within a few weeks, hit me up and I'll send you a replacement (with better protected shipping). These are, in theory, brand new drives that went to the spare parts bin when they decided to issue laptops/tablets with bigger drives. One man's trash is another's treasure  Should be mailing these out this afternoon, or at latest in the morning. I finished testing/sanitizing yesterday.

 

Tracking numbers sent!

In theory, everyone that wanted one should have had it delivered by now.
