They should unlock all their processors. They also need to stop selling $1000 processors that are basically the same thing as a $300 processor. The 980x is somewhat of an exception, but still at $1000 it's a huge rip off.

They will always be for the US only until all the other countries get rid of the craptastic rules and regulations that make companies pay out the ass and jump through hoops just to give something away. Blame your countries, states, territories ect.

I recently "rebuilt" a Cyberpower PC for someone. It was one of the lowest quality builds I have ever seen. The CPU cooler was installed improperly, excess cables were bundled with twist ties, thumb screws that came with the case were replaced with standard screws, they used an IDE optical drive (on a 2009 PC), etc, etc.

Also, their customer service was just a joke. This person dealt with a very unfriendly
customer service rep. plus had to pay for shipping on a warrantee claim.

This was a $2500 machine. There is no excuse for such poor craftsmanship.
I’d take one for free, but I would rebuild the thing before I would ever even power it up.
JUNK.

1156 socket, WTF, nice move Intel, make a performance processor that is unlocked but only for the non performance 1156 boards. If anything this should be a 1366 socket chip.

GTS 250 -- yes it's cheap move, but it's free. What do you want?

They do have unlocked 1366 processors. They're called the Extreme Edition chips...

I've been due for an upgrade for 3 years now. I'm still on a dual core and a GTX 260. I'd like to not have to pay a whole lot of money for a new computer.

I'm excited to see who wins. ^_^ Even though there is a huge chance it won't be me.

If I win... I will probably cry and then squeal in excitement. xD I've never won a contest before.

Hey Cory buddy... I'm a Believer too, but this isn't a site where people are interested in the deeper things in life. I appreciate your comments, but you won't find many people ready to listen here.

Good luck on the contest though!
