You'll receive some love from Corsair as they have submitted two Liquid Coolling kits. A from the ground-up a re-design of the older series Hydro coolers has recently been updated, with larger diameter tubes and more efficient copper cold plates -- yes the H100i and H60 All-in One Liquid Coolers from Corsair has been released. These two units have been extensively covered in reviews here at Guru3D.com

We have one of each kit available and that h100i is af course the shiznit !

Corsair Vengeance 1500 Gaming Headset

To close this particular contest Corsair submitted another prize, it's there ever so sweet Corsair Vengeance 1500 Gaming Headset. The Vengeance 1500 is the top of the Corsair headset line, supplanting the HS1 of a few short years ago. Like the HS1, the Vengeance 1500 is a USB powered surround-sound monster headset with hefty 50mm drivers and revised USB drivers that now include Dolby 7.1 surround, and capable of 24-bit/96 KHz playback. The behind-the-ear Vengeance 1100 are a smaller hybrid USB/analog headset, with mere 40mm drivers, offering 16-bit/48 KHz playback in stereo. Check out BRann's review of this headset right here.
