Giveaway: Deus Ex Human Revolution Augmented Edition

Winner has been selected, thank you for all the entries! Until next time

Congratulations, Random.ORG has selected you as the lucky winner. Expect a PM shortly with redemption instructions.

I do want to point out that it is 100% coincidence that the post with that particular pic was selected- no special considerations were given. I had a good laugh when it happened

I have already won a free game, but I've been putting a table fan next to my computer on full blast to keep my pc warm.

Nice! I'd like the game and no joke - was just looking at new A/C units tonight. A Frigidaire 25,000btu unit that'll take the place of an aging LG 18,000btu unit for living/dining/kitchen. Going for a clean in-wall installation unlike the current unit which takes up half of a window.

Pointing a household fan into the (always open) case. Too bad I am at the university now and can't snap a pic. Really helps my GTX470s run cooler (the CPU really doesn't care, not with the overkill rad surface it has to work with).

Uhhh. So first its without case, cause it sucks. Its even without barebone. Motherboard sits on some thick magazines. Only thing holding it together is power cables. 120mm fans sits on RAM, leaning against my Asus Triton (xD), HDD tray and PSU is nearby. Requires some dusting off after few months. Not realy pretty, but it does its job.

What a coincidence, just posted my 50th post this day haha.

To keep my PC cool I'll just buy 2 new table fan since the 1 I have is dying, 1 for me and 1 for my open case PC. Can't wait too see the dust emerges .

Just kidding.

In my country its already summer, 30-34 C when the sun up. Pretty hot..
Now I use Xigmatek HDT-S963 for my Athlon, thinking about upgrading to Thermalright True Spirit and getting a better case (maybe Fractal CORE3000 or Carbide 300R) this month.
For myself? My table fan is still rocking

Count me in.
I turn the AC on and I have a house fan that I point into the open side of the case. Sometime I turn down my overclock as well.

I have a different approach. I will install heaters and make my PC as hot as possible this summer... so that my neighbour who comes round to check her emails will need to wear appropriate clothing for the heat!
