| Re: News - Win a Zotac GTX 295 in Dabs launch celebration Buy a graphics card... and then win a better one... which is either going to turn the one you just bought into an unwanted paperweight, or be too big and hot for your system which is why you didn't buy it in the first place... Well thought out...  |

| Re: News - Win a Zotac GTX 295 in Dabs launch celebration What a bizarre competition. If I won this I'd just sell one of the two cards straight off, probably the 295. It almost feels like someone has decided on the value of the prize they want to give and not really thought of the practicalities. |

| Re: News - Win a Zotac GTX 295 in Dabs launch celebration in other words sorry folks was hoping nobody would see the free address (we tried to make it as small as possible!) so didn't bother actually setting up the email account, all fixed!  also, worst competition ever |

| Re: News - Win a Zotac GTX 295 in Dabs launch celebration Seems a curious reason to have a contest, given this isn't a card launch, just a "we've started stocking a different brand" launch - Zotac GTX cards have been available from other etailers for months. It's almost like Dabs is trying to celebrate being behind in the game... +1 to Zotac's marketing department for talking Dabs and Hexus into it though  // // TODO: Add witty signature here // |

| Re: News - Win a Zotac GTX 295 in Dabs launch celebration Surely buy the GTX260, if you win the GTX295, the 260 will make a great PhysX card or second machine... or I'd just sell the GTX260 I think. If I were in the market for a new graphics card right now, may as well take advantage of this - it's better than nothing! |
