READ FIRST - How to, Rules, and Suggestions

Get ready for school with the NCIX.com Build Your Back to School PC Contest!

This contest is similar to previous wish list contests, but there are some new wrinkles. You have to pick a CPU, Motherboard, and RAM, but after that you can pick whatever you like. This time you can pick any item from the NCIX weekly sales, excluding the "Surprise Specials", PLUS you can mix and match from the sales NCIX is running between August 9, 2007 and September 12, 2007!

If your list is randomly drawn, you will win the items on your list! 10 other lists will be drawn and they will win a $100 NCIX gift card!


Here are some quick instructions:

1. Click on the 'new topic' button in the 'NCIX.com Build Your Back to School PC Contest!' forum
2. Click here to go to NCIX.com
3. Find a CPU, motherboard, and RAM that you want and then post those items to your thread. If you aren't comfortable picking those parts, you can select one of NCIX's pre-built desktops or laptops.
4. Find any additional items that you want and then post those items to your thread.
5. Remember to including the item, price, and link to the item
6. Total it up and make sure it's under $1,500 and click on 'Submit New Thread'

This contest ends on September 12th, 2007.

NOTE: You cannot include gift cards on your list. Due to the total prize value of this contest, residents of Quebec are unfortunately excluded.

Ryan, since ncix offers open box pricing on some items.. can we use the open box prices?

I am sure NCIX wouldn't want it any other way as they need to sell those in the real world?

The can't guarantee stock, so those aren't allowed unfortunately. With the 3 sales that they'll be running during this promo, you should have lots of regular sale items to choose from anyway.

As long as the pre-requisite items of CPU + Ram + Motherboard are included we can have anything else we want in the list?

I saw one guy include a 24" lcd lol

Yes.

Also, as it says above: "If you aren't comfortable picking those parts, you can select one of NCIX's pre-built desktops or laptops."

"widget 2.0 $300, $250 AR" I would put down $300
