dsdsdk · May 17, 2007, 11:48 AM

I want one 'cause I have an empty slot that is missing one.

Erroneus · May 17, 2007, 12:00 PM

Nice!

I need this card because my tv is broken and once i got this card, i have to build a media pc with a nice monitor to it

thinroad · May 17, 2007, 12:24 PM

I want this card because I dont have one

Erroneus · May 17, 2007, 01:12 PM

Multiple entries allowed?

redsolar · May 17, 2007, 01:15 PM

I want one, because I want to build a quiet, and non-power hungry HTPC

jkayca2 · May 17, 2007, 01:19 PM

I'm a recent father of twins. Take pity on me and give me this card.

Jejking · May 17, 2007, 01:21 PM

My old grumpy videocard is dying under HD-content, so I need one of those!

Partizan · May 17, 2007, 01:22 PM

I want one, because the reason doesen't really matter

Judas · May 17, 2007, 01:34 PM

I could use one, Call it a house warming gift...... by the time i get moved it, the competition probably will be over.

Majin GeoDooD · May 17, 2007, 01:46 PM

I need one because my monitor is bigger than my TV!

>GSXR<mrbusa · May 17, 2007, 01:48 PM

I want one because my ECS nforce3 board has been on 24/7 for many many months and has downloaded terabyte after terabyte of free stuff and has never had a problem. ECS is no longer a POS, they now PWN.

Geminiwave · May 17, 2007, 02:08 PM

I want the card because it uses less power than the current card in my media center and is faster. So I'd be helping the enviornment AND improving the speed of my computer. I can't really beat that.

Also, ninjas killed my family.

kulmegil · May 17, 2007, 03:12 PM

Because my rig (I putted really a lot $$ and time to build it) was stolen 2 months ago, so I will have to start from scratch building one this summer. My temporary hardware has only gf4mx. New gfx would be a good start

Just Learnin' · May 17, 2007, 03:14 PM

I want the card because my previous attempt at a media center PC using an AIW failed miserably and I need a real solution to restore my faith in the technology!

SAMSAMHA · May 17, 2007, 03:30 PM

OIKAY, i WILL BE honest

i want the card because with it is absolutely free

dsdsdk · May 17, 2007, 06:24 PM

Because I have never won an online competition - not even at the generous DH site :-O

ykill · May 17, 2007, 06:46 PM

I want it because GI Joe's killed my entire family

ROBSCIX · May 17, 2007, 07:54 PM

Please help ME!! I am stuck gaming in 640 X 480. I can't tell I am dead until I see the ground!!

The Death in slow motion is giving me nightmares..I play FPS and it's like I am the Six Million dollar man. Yes I can hear the sound every time I run..dah..dah,dah..dah.dah...

If I try to watch a movie I never know who is in it becasue I never see the whole screen.

The stuttering is so bad I have a intermission every 2 minutes...be right back gotta get some popcorn.

ROBSCIX · May 17, 2007, 07:59 PM

Have you ever had your media PC freeze when your wife is watching her Soaps? Please help me I have been sleeping on the couch for two months!

Blazer · May 17, 2007, 08:44 PM

I'l be honest, I don't need the card myself, but I could find a good home for it in a friend's system.
I won't win anyway, I never win anything.

**kris23** · May 17, 2007, 09:12 PM

well......ill just tell you the truth about my situation, my parents constantly use money for .... construction costs, bills, gambling, stuff to make them happy.... and who knows what else. they constantly break the promises to me about "oh i will never touch this money and you can use it for anything when you need it."

when the time comes that i DO need it..... its not there, i always question them about it then all that comes back up is like "what the hell, you always ask for stuff we always gave it to you so shut up already before i slap you." and blah blah blah

well.... they always borrowed money from me and never payed me back, money i have either worked my ass off for or recieved for a gift from my close friends and cousins to try and get a few things that make me happy...... then they ask for the money to do whatever they want, whether it be them or my sister.

they dont even feed me very well and i am forced to spend that money on my food, something they are obligated as parents to give me. as of right now, i am living off beef jerky and granola bars for my meal during the day and some cereal in the morning. the food was really where all my money went. i used to have thousands because i tried to save but its all gone now...... i had dreams of finally being able to afford that new rig i always wanted only to have my ticket snatched from me because of them.......

sure i get a couple things like my comp, but thats onlly after pestering them so much and most of it is actually from my own money.

from what it looks like now, they owe me at least $4000 in the food they refused to give and the money they took for their amusement . my life with them is full of anger, broken promises and hiding behind a mask

if i get the video card, i might eventually be able to build a cheap little system that can help me in my daily tasks.

ROBSCIX · May 17, 2007, 09:28 PM

I need this card so bad, I actually thought Driverheaven was in Black and white!!

Lowfat · May 17, 2007, 09:51 PM

I need one of these cards because I break my main rig at least once a week

GutterPunk · May 17, 2007, 09:54 PM

Well our TV is out, and only have spare PC parts and a 19" in monitor. I need something extra to spice up the bedroom. I need something to stream porn through on a good enough screen that we get use of the massaging gel we got for valentines day. ADD TO OUR SEX LIFE RAWR (I hope this is appopriate but this is what I got)

GutterPunk · May 17, 2007, 09:56 PM

I have always dreamt of a Media PC but I have never had an opportunity to build one. I don't know what to do without one?! Nothing better than HD Pr0n and the simpsons. Even our main TV is going out, with color bleeding in reds, greens, and shades of both... Im dying here AHHH I need to put use to my 19" LCD TV (HD Compatible)!

RStrada · May 17, 2007, 11:02 PM

I have one game and vista capable PC, & my mom wants one to kick people; and the ECS products had the power(she's a hungry gamer of performance/price

)

its a true story!!!

Shike · May 18, 2007, 12:01 AM

I need this card, because I won that 50" plasma you guys sent me and unfortunately my old card isn't up to snuff. It makes me cry inside
