    Well sure, but you can be well sure majority of visitors are from USA.
    Mostly because the page is in english and because most of manufacturers come from USA.

    That is incorrect, only 28% of the demographics come from the US.
    51% is EU based.

    Great. So people that probably haven't even heard of Guru3D will visit Guru3D for the first and only time and stand a chance of winning a thousand euro? :rolleyes:

    I agree with Cybermancer! :D I'd gladly play for a private courier for a free PC!

    How many of those come from netherlands and belgium?
    Just out of curiosity :)

    I wouldn't mind if you'd tear that PC apart, stuff all the components inside with foam and send it over in case i'd win. I'd assemble it back myself :p

    Maybe one of the other competitions should have excluded those from the NL and Belgium.

    Hilbert, I have a friend in the NL (I went to visit over Easter, you may have seen the topic I made) and was wondering; can we both enter but both use his address? He wants to enter two, but if I use his address he is worried he won't be able to enter.

    What do yout think?

    lol, i understand the weight of the PC, mine is also very heavy(the only time i actually picked it up to hook it up to the TV was in my old case... its not heavyer)

    though i would not mind at all paying for shipping. and due to damaging the hardware, to be noted the only precaution you really need to make is to take the CPU cooler off, depending on the weight. other than that it should be all secure, but im not really complaining.

    good luck to those who entered. :) there will always be more contests in the future.

    I would personally be afraid of moving the computer around with the Mugen on it. I believe the packaging of the Mugen specifically states to avoid moving it too much.

    I dont want to create problems but this contest 3 has no point...why bothering creating a contest that only 20~10% or even less users will be able to participate?? Feels like no sense making contests where all world can try and one that few ppl will be able to try, i dont care how few are the chances of contest 2 but yet im trying right?
    Its very disapointing to scroll down in the contest 3 page after the pc specs and the image and reading that its only for few peoples, u guys should have said that long before!

    Well aniway I thank u guys very much for the oportunity of the other contests that its open for the entire world, i would say good luck for all but that doesnt count cause i want the prizes as much as anyone else, and for the 1 or 2 participants of contest 3, well, best luck possible.

    Please don't be such a cry baby. We have two other contests with multiple thousands of EURO's worth of prizes. There is sheer joy and fun for everyone.

    As to the other 2-3 participants in contest 3 you apparantly think will enter .. you can already multiply that number with 100x only a few hours after launching contest 3.

    Be a sport .. and appreciate what we are doing. Would you have rather like to see that we did not hold contest 3 at all, just because you can't enter ?
