Every week from now to Christmas Galaxy will be giving away one of its video cards that covers almost its entire line of video cards. This week we start with the Galaxy GT430 video card with 1GB of VRAM. This could be the perfect card for a budget DX11 box!

You can check out the card here.

To enter this week simply post in this thread ONCE and tell us anything you want to tell us. Bedtime stories are preferred. Or if you want to puss out, just write something stupid like you you usually do when you post.

Good luck. We will draw a random winner next week and will notify you by PM. If you do not respond to the PM in 12 hours, we will move to our next winner. I highly suggest you turn on email notification for PMs if you are not going to be online Monday.

This drawing is open to North American residents only.
 
ONCE

upon a time, in the future video card market, we will see cards that get up to 1000 MHz core clock out of the box. And from card vendors, a 24/7 toll free service line to complement customer service. It will have been very good. Thanks to Galaxy for a continuing commitment to superiority in the field of excellence.
 
my mom rented out my top bunk to my brothers friend so now i go to sleep at 10PM to the sound of a stranger snoring. should only be for a month (fingers crossed).
 
Listen, I think you're doing this wrong. I have not received a PM in the last two drawings. You need to check up on that...
 
Have you heard of [H]ard|OCP? You should check it out, I just got a free video card for posting on their forums! Be sure to click on the ads while you're there!
 
Here is a bedtime horror story for you.
Once upon time,long ago, back in the dark days, when 12 mhz processors, and floppy drives ruled the computer world, there was a man named Bill Gates......

Nighty, night. Turn off the Lights.
Whisper "Windows ME" and the children run screaming in fright.

Gifting my son my 5870 for an eyefinity christmas. Could use a nice HTPC card to replace it. Happy [H]
 
Let me tell you a story about how a Christmas computer glitch caused everyone on this thread to receive a free Galaxy card....
 
Once where was a n00bie named pontiac6000 that posted an entry on a give-away thread and actually won a video card... and lived happily ever after ;-)
 
Twas the Night Before Christmas
For Computer Owners
by Jim Trudeau & Jay Trudeau (1991)


Twas the night before Christmas and all through the nets
Not a mousie was stirring, not even the pets.
The floppies were stacked by the modem with care
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there.
The files were nestled all snug in a folder.
The screen saver turned on, the weather was colder.

And leaving the keyboard along with my mouse
I turned from the screen to the rest of the house.
When up from the drive there arose such a clatter
I turned to the screen to see what was the matter.
Away to the mouse I flew like a flash,
Zoomed open a window in fear of a crash...

The glow from the screen on the keyboard below
Gave an electronic luster to all my macros.
When what to my wondering eyes should appear
But a little sleigh icon with eight tiny reindeer
And a tiny disk driver so SCSI and quick
I knew in a nano it must be Saint Nick.

More rapid than trackballs his cursors they came,
He whistled and shouted and FAXed them by name.
"Now Flasher! Now Dasher! Now Raster and Bixel!
On Phosphor! On Photon! On Baudrate and Pixel!
To the top of the stack. To the top of the heap."
Then each little reindeer made a soft beep.

As data that before the wild electrons fly,
When they meet with a node, mount to the drive,
So up to the screentop the cursors they flew
With a sleigh full of disks and databits, too.
And then in a twinkling I heard the high whine
Of a modem connecting at a baud rate so fine.

As I gazed at the screen with a puzzling frown
St. Nicholas logged on though I thought I was down.
He was dressed all in bytes from header to footer
And the words on the screen said "Don't you reboot 'er."
A bundle of bits he had flung on his back
And he looked like a programmer starting his hack.

His eyes how they glazed, his hair was so scary,
His cola was jolt, not flavored with cherry.
His droll little mouth was drawn up like a GIF
And the pixels of his beard sure gave me a lift.
The stump of a routine he held tight in his code
And I knew he had made it past the last node.

He spoke not a word but looked right at me
And I saw in a flash his file was .SEA.
He self-decompressed and I watched him unfold,
Into a jolly old elf, a sight to behold.
And the whispering sound of my hard drive's head
Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread.

He went straight to his work without saying a word
And filled all the folders of this happy nerd.
And 'tis the whole truth, as the story is told,
That giving a nod up the window he scrolled,
He sprang to the serial port as if truly on fire
And away they all flew down the thin copper wire.

But I heard him exclaim as he scrolled out of sight

"Merry Christmas to All and to All a Good Night!"
