If I won, I’d use my £75 voucher to do the same thing I said in the first compo post only I can't remember what I did say.

If I won I would buy Trust 1300VA Management UPS PW-4130M because then I don't have to spend any money on electricity during the credit-crunch thanks to it's ability to “keep electronic devices running when mains power is down” :mrgreen:

If i won i'd use my £75 voucher to pimp my laptop.

I'd buy the PC Clean Compressed Air & some wipes because my keyboard & screen are minging! Some extra RAM or a new HDD. A bluetooth adapter cos it doesn't have it then the CM Notebook cooler (because it looks the dog's) & the Zalman RAMsinks to provide extra cooling…..

Failing that I'd throw the dirty/slow/hot thing in the bin & put the money towards the Asus F3JC because I imagine that'd be the easier option!

If I won, I’d use my £75 voucher to go towards that new graphics card I've been wanting for a while :D

I'm just a poor student and with my 1900x1200 resolution, games are gonna get harder and harder to run well :(

If I won, I'd use my £75 voucher to help purchase a new Motherboard, CPU, and PSU for the downstairs snail, as it is a little on the slow side, even for a snail. Pentium 3 866mhz, 512mb RAM slow. Eeek.

Try folding on that one :P

If I won, I’d use my £75 voucher to fund a resistance force to invade Destroyer's homeland to reclaim the original voucher! Obviously I will need some anti-aircraft weapons for them pesky helicopters I'm thinking a Radio Controlled Combat Special Mission Hovercraft retro fitted with a wireless missile launcher!

Oh and
news post

If I won, I'd use my£75 voucher to upgrade my computers cooling system - possibly to water :bowdown:. That way It would be nice and cool - and I could get a big resoviour and put fishies in it :drool: - my dog would love it, he spends hours looking at the fish in the pond. Even if I put it on wrong, I could put bigger fish in it, and join my dog watching them. :lol:.
Then I would have to buy the bits for a new computer from advancetec.co.uk, I could put i7 in it :).

Hmm…still deciding:



hope you like my paint work:P

Seems to be a contradiction now on the page :P

“We won't be accepting e-mail entries for this one, answers must be posted in our community forum by no later than November 21st 2008.” in the competition description

“The competition winners will be picked at random from all eligible entries that arrive by midnight of the closing date, November 16th 2008” in the rules and regulations

which date is it??? :P
Posted by muddyfox470 - Thu 06 Nov 2008 18:32
With £75 I'd split it with my mate so I can grab a new DVD burner and I know he wants a new sexy keyboard…
no point looking without the money :P
Posted by HSK - Thu 06 Nov 2008 19:54
If I won, I’d use my £75 voucher to…But a new sound card & speakers, so I can break-dance around my living room in a state of hysterics and joy, to my favourite pop classic. Rick Astley Never Gonna Give You Up. While singing & changing the lyrics to include Advantec.co.uk & Hexus.

That is all.

I'd use my £75 to buy something around £80, haven't got much cash to spare after buying a loaf of bread.
Posted by sbarts - Fri 07 Nov 2008 08:04
If I won, I’d use my £75 voucher to single handedly boost the economy by spending it as quickly as is humanly possible on something my wife really doesn’t want me to buy.
Posted by mayhem - Fri 07 Nov 2008 08:08
If I won, I’d use my £75 voucher to Upgrade my AMD XP to a full new system and save £75 of the price whoo hoo … Maybe my wife wont complain about how much it cost to build then.

If was lucky enough to win this competition, I would use the £75 voucher to offset the £75 of lottery tickets I would buy - just in case my luck continued. I would then have a physical object, a memento if you wish, to mark that day of stupidity.

If I won, I’d use my £75 voucher to… buy a Wii Fit in order to train and hone my body into an Elite Fighting Machine and once trained (aiming for a Wii Fit age of below 40 here), I'd be a one-man army, not only capable of taking on the overwhelming firepower of Destroyer and Webby, but also to eliminate the evil group of Ninja Tech Sabotuers that enter my house every night and plant small bluescreenofdeath timebombs in my PC…some may say it's suicide and that I must think I am some sort of God - No, God would have mercy….I won't.
Posted by FatalSaviour - Fri 07 Nov 2008 10:36
If I won, I’d use my £75 voucher to buy that Intel Core i7 920, as suggested in the news article actually! :)

I've been using my Athlon X2 for a few years now, watching it being overtaken by all my friends, so I'm dying to upgrade! :)

If I won, I’d use my £75 voucher to buy Hexus a Calender. :mrgreen:

Posted by Ciber - Fri 07 Nov 2008 13:59
If I won the £75 voucher I would use it toward a laptop for my girlfriend. Then she might stop pestering me to give her mine. And hopefully she will keep sharing my bed. :P
Posted by 0iD - Fri 07 Nov 2008 14:08
If I won, I’d use my £75 voucher to find a cure for cancer & bring an end to war and starvation…. but failing that I'd like a net radio for my office to drown out the noise of nagging spouse & bickering children :)
Posted by TAKTAK - Fri 07 Nov 2008 14:09
If i won, i'd use the £75 voucher to sort out the economic turmoil in Iceland (the country, not Katona's hideout) by having a voucher worth more than their entire banking system…
Posted by Powderhound - Sat 08 Nov 2008 14:29
I would buy a Swann Nightvision BulletCam because it sounds like something from the Matrix. :woowoo:

If I won, I’d use my £75 voucher to Buy a USB Plasma Ball in Black which i would have sat in my bedroom infront of me whilst i had a black dress with a hood on (maybe suspenders), with the lights off and i would also purchase a Star Wars USB Light Sabre Glow Desk Lamp that i would have by the side of me so that i could pick up and swat my enemies that enter the doorm of the chosen one whilst using key quotes like “Luke, i am your father” and stroking the small usb ball of doom that attracts small animals (normally goats) into my room to build my army of star warsieness…… A nd aim to take over the small farm next door mwahaha … ha.. ha x6

If I won, I’d use my £75 voucher to buy some quiet cooling tech, because all those atmospheric game effects and all that trying to sneak up on the bad guys is totally wasted when your rig sounds like badly maintained hovercraft.
Posted by neologan - Fri 14 Nov 2008 17:50
If i won i'd use my £75 voucher to get myself off this X800 AIW card, sigh :embarrassed:
Posted by da_ging - Fri 21 Nov 2008 19:14
If I won, I’d use my £75 voucher to… extend my epeen and show it off to some virtual hotties in cyberland before sitting in a corner rocking myself while sucking coffee through a twix to ease the pain and suffering knowing that those virtual hotties will be fat hairy and smell like grimsby fish market on a monday morning :(

or like i think i said last time put it towards a new graphics card and give my old one to my little bro who keeps moaning his is not good enough like an oap feels the need to remind you of the good old days every 2 damn minutes :help:

Yeah, I was just kidding. In the rules page it says “The winner will be notified by email no later than 14 days after the closing date” so I guess we have to wait then as they probably haven't decided :)
Posted by Will404 - Sat 06 Dec 2008 22:53
Hey, its been 14 days, so who has won.

*where is my email:P*
Posted by da_ging - Wed 10 Dec 2008 15:50
so has any 1 won this?

and what is going on with the competitions in general as you do not seem to announce when any 1 has won and it would be nice if you atleast put up a list of the winners for each competition just some initials and a county would suffice as it just looks bad when there is nothing
eg what happened with the below comps ?

The Political Machine giveaway
Call of Duty World At War
Everquest II - The Shadow Odyssey

It happens to most other competitions on here, only some are lucky to get something. I never recieved my prize from another compo on here. It's been so long I cba asking plus they'll probably say there's no guarantee you will get the prize. I'm guessing they never sent anything in the first place :)
Posted by strike-down - Wed 10 Dec 2008 16:11
No email for me either :(

Add to that the Rainbow six Vegas 2 comp where myself, tigerboyce and someone else won, we were notified and still have not won our prizes
