Winner of the Zotac 9800 GTX

Well, we had a huge number of entries for this competition.

Who did we decide would win it? Well it was a hard call. We had hundreds of cringeworthy claims ranging from serious illnesses to pleas of poverty. In the end we shortlisted around 20 people and drew them from a hat.

Humonous won the card for his simple yet effective entry "I would like this card because unlike most people in this thread I actually want to use it, not sell it for an organ im missing or to fund a heart transplant for my mother."

Congratulations to the winner and if you didn't win this time don't be too depressed we will have many more competitions this year.
