    So how do we enter? We just throw our hands up in the air and yell "Pick Me!." I just tried that at work, and it didn't work.

    I doubt I'll win, but it's a nice thing to hope for. My computer fried a few days ago, so this would be perfect. It was strange, I had exited BF3 and went outside to get my laundry. I got stopped by a neighbor, so I talked with her for about 30 minutes and when I went back inside, the place reeked of popcorn. I have yet to crack it open, but I'm hoping it is just the PSU. I fear it is worse than that. It doesn't make sense to me for it to be the CPU or graphics cards since it was idle.

    Would it increase my chance if I let Tomshardware in on a little known, secret search site I discovered yesterday.

    It starts with Googl... It's very cool and different from what most people are using, Lycos or Altavista.
