The Era 2 looks pretty cool!

This chair looks super sweet though, my back would love it.

Sorry, you're creating too many entries; try again later.

I clicked it once

I clicked it once

That's once too much for you!

I like the look of the North, but I don't see anything XL about it. The regular North should be called the North Compact and the North XL just North.
The Meshify 2 XL dwarfs the North XL

I AM DISAPPOINT!

(with Fractal being a Swedish company and all)

Disappointed that the contest is not worldwide.

 

[Waldorf]

probably because of shipping cost

While I can't speak for TechPowerUp, Anandtech always cited legal and regularity reasons for not making available in more countries, never mind worldwide.

It requires so consideration but other giveaways were available. In practice noone is going to enforce. For example the netherlands, only thing you really have to consider with giveaways is people under 18 need permission from their parents, which can be a simple disclaimer. giveaways above 4.5k euros bit more consideration but those are rare.

Most likely just a choice by fractal

Thanks for nothing Fractal, too cheap to make this global.
