Winner of the Gabe Newell signed AMD 3870 GFX !

After much careful deliberation, the winner of the Gabe Newell signed 3870 video card is ET3D. His entry was well liked within Valve "My favourite game is Portal, because if I open the portals at just the right angle, I can look at myself and see that I'm holding a Radeon HD 3870."
