Corsair TX750 PSU winners announced

Published on 22nd January 2008 by Tim Smalley

Congratulations to all the five winners and comiserations to those that didn't win this time around!

Last Christmas was an extra special one for bit-tech, as we hosted no less than four different competitions over the festive period. Today, we’re finally able to announce the winners of the last competition – the chance to win one of five Corsair TX750W power supplies.

It took a little longer than normal to get to this announcement, because for some reason a few of the initial winners didn’t get back to us before the closing date for claiming their prizes. This meant we had to re-draw a few of the winners – thankfully they all confirmed at the second time of asking!

Anyway, the five lucky readers to win a Corsair TX750W power supply were Satpal Jhujh of Oxon, UK; Leblon Gilles of Geraadsbegen, Belgium; Eric Yan of Davis, California, USA; Mikael Lundgren of Bandhagen, Sweden; and Emir Jose Martinez Coronado of Doral, Florida, USA. Congratulations to all five of you!

We’d like to thank Corsair for supporting the bit-tech community with the sponsorship of this competition and, of course, how could we forget all of those readers that entered the competition but didn’t walk away with a prize?

If you haven’t won this time around, we’ll be sure to give you plenty more chances to walk away with some great kit over the course of the next year! It’s the least we can do to show our thanks for your support.

Entered. Thanks, guys

wuyanxu 21st December 2007, 14:14

750w sounds very nice, but no modular cables and only 5amp extra on the 12v rail seems a bit less step up from the Hx620w. but wow, x4 PCI-e cables...... i can run tri-SLI with that!

many thanks, entering...... good luck to everyone

Orca 21st December 2007, 14:52

I am being really stupid - I can't actually find the answer! Corsair aren't very helpful either

Are 1st cousins considered immediate family members? :)

Sweet stuff again! I love this site.

I think "immediate" only extends to a spouse, parents, children, & siblings.

I think I've been on Bit-Tech too much - part of a dream last night involved winning this competition but I won a water-pistol instead of a PSU.

I think I was disappointed. :)

I have entered the competition.
I came looking at the modding section about watercooling and have decided to go ahead and make my own watercooling system. I have read *turpija's homemade watercooling thread and I will almost copy his water cooler.
I bought a delux CoolRiver watercooling kit 2 years ago and have since sold it but now I want to do something with time and have been researching for as cheaper materials as I can find here in NZ and I have found some cheap tools so now I think I can go ahead with the project....but I don't have a camera so I have to wait before I can post a log which I would like to do.
It's a ;) great idea to post your own log.

***So hi! and a great Christmas***

MaximumShow 29th December 2007, 21:54

This is the first contest I have entered here, as most of them are usually UK based. Hope I win, as this is the exact PSU I was planning to get for my new system!

Good luck everyone.

That's what they want you to think, yes.

Bit invented their very own "25th hour" years ago. Primarily in an aide for RTT to fix things in time :p

That doesn't mean to say there will be a re-draw. For all we know, when the 14th comes the staff get to divvy up the prizes - notice the suspicious smiley in Tim's last post? He's looking forward to a new psu.

He's probably already got 500.

'Oh not another free PSU? Throw it on the pile..'

I thinks a re-draw for the last three would be fairest

If I could stack the spare PSUs in the office they would probably be taller than Tim. And that's a challenge and a half :P

I know if I stacked the PSUs used in the office it would be taller than the building..

As we haven't heard anything, this is startingto look like a cover-up or at least sort of a X-File.........

And no, I didn't win one either, too bad though. :(:'(

MaximumShow 16th January 2008, 21:25

Send me one! I neeeeeeeeed it!

MrBurritoMan 16th January 2008, 22:55

If you could re-send it, I'd be grateful... Thunderbird can sometimes be slightly over-zealous with its spam filtering... :p
