Was all excited until i noticed there was no floppy drive 
Damn that lot looks awesome *dribbles* i never have a chance in hell with competitions like this though likelihood is that some random 1 post user will win and never be heard of again, that's usually the way with these things.

did you know it turns out ocuk dont sell them (or at least i cant find any)? who'd have thought! such a shame!
Wouldn't it be better to split the prizes between multiple winners?
+ 1, be much much better I think
, as can guarantee that the majority of people will probably sell things that they don't really need or already have something better, when that item could have gone to someone who truly did need it.Instead of just one person winning everything, although some items aren't as good/valuable as the other items, so say one person gets the 27" screen, one person gets the SSD, 1 person gets the HD cam AND the gaming mouse OR the keyboard, one person gets the AKASA USB Panel Card Reader and Internal SSD/HDD Adapter AND the Akasa Venom Strike Full Tower Gaming Case or something along those lines anyway if you get what I mean.
Preferably try to give the people what they need/really want the most out of that list as well instead of someone getting one of the items and probably selling it on to get some extra cash e.g. someone who already has a very good IPS monitor but wins the 27" monitor will most likely not make the switch and probably not use it for anything else and therefore may well sell it for around £200 and that 27" monitor could have gone to someone who really wanted to win that in order to upgrade from a 19" monitor;
So, someone who is still on a 19" monitor or something should get the 27" monitor, someone with a mechanical hard drive should get the SSD, someone with 2GB-4GB of RAM should get the 8GB of RAM etc, etc.
Therefore, there would be more than just one very happy lucky person this xmas!
Probably
and nope we may see the people that have only posted once or have been a member for 1+ year with 4 posts post again in the next few weeks when a new competition comes up However all the competitions have been won by loyal forum members so far I think apart from 1 (?)
And this competition is being advertised on the main page on the banner of OCUK, so it is open to every one and therefore the chances are that someone who isn't even a member of the forum will win.
But for competitions posted via the forum only and states in the T&C that it is for forum members only should have some requirements like the below:
- Must be a member who joined more than 1 month ago and have a certain amount of posts e.g. no guy who joined 2+ years ago but only has like 1-50 posts
And of course;
- if they joined within the month the free give away was posted, but have more than 20 posts or something (not spam), then they can enter

Not greedy.
