Consolation prize
Amazon Gift Certificate Worth 1920 pennies ($19.20 USD/CAD).

Winner: Everyone!
(everyone who entered and didn't win the GSYNC Upgrade).

So if you want your gift certificate, then to claim:
1. You must be one of the 34 qualified entrants that didn't win the GSYNC upgrade.
2. You actually see this message (That means you're paying attention, and not a one-time visitor )
3. Send me a PM with subject line "Claim Amazon $19.20". Provide your preferred email address for the GC. (This makes it easier )
4. Claim by 11:59pm January 15th, 2014 (That's this forum time ).
5. Delivery by January 31st, 2014 (This gives me enough time to process all of them manually -- a big task! ).

P.S. You can also support Blur Busters via shopping via this Amazon Link (USA, Canada, UK)
...These links supports Blur Busters. Feel free to enter Amazon by these link, fill your cart, buy your computer upgrade, book, movie, game, TV, new computer, graphics card, new 120Hz monitor -- Amazon will send a small commision to Blur Busters which helps pays the Blur Busters bills. This will help cover the expensive three-figure dedicated web server monthly bill that hosts all Blur Busters related sites.

But, but... 4K pennies iz the future!

No really, this is so generous of you. It's perfect since I recently ordered an EVGA GTX 780 Classified and discovered that Newegg listed its length as 10.5" when it's really 11". My CM Storm Scout only fits video cards up to 10.6" in length, so now I'm happily browsing for a new case.

Not sure if I can wait until the end of this month to order, though, so maybe I'll look into an SSD or something later on. Thanks again, Chief!

That is quite generous of you, Chief Blur Buster! I wonder how many of the entrants are still watching this thread to see the consolation prize?

I know that feeling. I'm using an old Antec Super Lanboy case which has almost exactly 10.5" between the hard drive bays and the back of the case. The card slots on the back are not recessed however, so my previous 10.5" card had to be inserted at an angle then turned into place, necessitating removal of most of the cables on the motherboard and bending some of the metal on the back of the case. Using that card was quite a lot of work. Luckily my GTX 760 is only 10.25" and is a lot easier to deal with.

That looks like a really nifty case. Not sure how I feel about the velcro, especially since they picture the straps so close to the edges on New- err, I mean on Amazon.

If only Cooler Master placed the 5.25" drive bays just a half-inch lower in the Storm Scout then I could slide the GTX 780 Classy right inside the lowest bay. As it is now, the video card is narrowly misaligned over the PCI-E slot. No way to make anything bend in my case (no pun intended) - I'd have to buy some power tools and hack either the drive bay or part of the video card housing off. My fault for buying a 4 and a half year old case just a year ago, lol. They seem to have fixed that in the Storm Scout 2 by offering detachable bays to (ofc) make way for longer video cards. Doh!

The gift cards works on amazon.ca as well right?
