I am in as well, if I win this will be the foundation for my next gaming rig...I'm usually an AMD guy but hey! Free Dual-core and mobo (SLi I assume), I won't complain! OCing is good!
looked up the board on newegg and other places its not an nvidia chipset for one and two its not sli, doesn't say it anywhere on it, just can run two cards. its odd, its not crossfire compatable either. still good board though and definatly if you can win it. (crosses fingers hoping to win)

Could i ask, why dont you ever do contest that members from europe etc. are able to participate? Are the costs to much? I really would want to participate in these contests, but i live in Finland and thats a problem.
I believe the rules of this contest are defined by ECS. They put the North & South America limitation on this one because they will be shipping the prizes themselves. However, I remember some of the RAM give-a-way contests Nate put on in the past were open to the world. So it just depends on the contest, the sponsor, an how much shipping would be.
Perhaps we'll setup a contest just for our international members in the near future to even things up a bit. Just an idea...

I did have a suggestion before to include everyone in the contests to make it fair. the solution to make this possible in my opinion, would be, to make members outside of USA pay the difference in shipping costs. in case a winner (from outside the US) doesn't want the prize with this condition, he could resign and the prize would be passed on by drawing another winner. this way there would be no need for separate draws and it would be fair to all.
so what you guys think?
