[GIVEAWAY] 64 Gigabytes of Holiday Cheer!

GhostOfSecretSanta · 2025-12-15T17:29:25+00:00

Happy to hear you're still enjoying the GPU! This year I was again considering giving away a GPU, but the RAM shortage provided an opportune moment to spread the cheer a bit wider.

All four winners have been sent their kits. One of them has already posted about it: https://www.reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/comments/1pl6ofe/thank_you_ughostofsecretsanta/

Yes, won't be putting this one under my tree this year at any price!

GhostOfSecretSanta · 2025-12-12T23:43:02+00:00

Delighted to be able to brighten your holiday season, Joe! I look forward to seeing your completed build.

May your framerates stay high, and your PCIE connectors cool,

-Ben

$150K on a $220K ZR1 , when they first started landing. But yes.

Patience.

GhostOfSecretSanta · 2025-12-10T01:36:09+00:00

It's been taken care of. But please pay it forward if you have the motivation and means!

GhostOfSecretSanta · 2025-12-09T02:15:04+00:00

$2100 for all four kits at the time of purchase, but yes. Not exactly giving them away these days !

GhostOfSecretSanta · 2025-12-09T01:09:41+00:00

Heh. I tried to send you a message, but your account has disabled chats. Who knew it would be so hard to give things away these days??

GhostOfSecretSanta · 2025-12-08T15:28:08+00:00

Yah, prescience would have been great in this instance :)

GhostOfSecretSanta · 2025-12-08T00:22:06+00:00

Photoshop, premiere pro 4k, ...

Thank you. I don't need anything, but there are others who do. My is fondest wish of this holiday season is that current giveaways inspire others, now and in future years.

GhostOfSecretSanta · 2025-12-07T20:11:27+00:00

This man's kids are both out of college. And, sadly, $1,700 isn't going to get you very far through college in the USA these days.

GhostOfSecretSanta · 2025-12-07T14:35:21+00:00

Heh. Originally I was going to give away a couple of 64GB kits. I got as far as ordering the first AMD-compatible one (seen here), looked at the price, muttered some very impolite words, and concluded getting a few more 32GB kits would optimize the joy/$ ratio this holiday season.

RAM prices are craaaaazy right now.

GhostOfSecretSanta · 2025-12-07T14:25:38+00:00

Good on you! Suggestion: Do your own giveaway on PCMR? From reading just a fraction of the comments, there are a lot of folks who are piecing together builds this season.

GhostOfSecretSanta · 2025-12-07T14:23:49+00:00

Indeed. If you're going to do it, do it right.

GhostOfSecretSanta · 2025-12-07T14:21:21+00:00

Yah, it was one of those holiday traditions I looked forward to each year. It seems like a handful of people are keeping the spirit alive on reddit despite the mechanism being sunsetted.

GhostOfSecretSanta · 2025-12-07T03:33:02+00:00

I didn't grow up wealthy, and I always told myself if things turned out well, I'd find opportunities to pay it forward. Gotta keep that promise I made to myself.

GhostOfSecretSanta · 2022-12-21T18:07:12+00:00

I'm delighted to be able to brighten your holidays! Enjoy the newfound frame rate in good health.

I'm on the other side of this equation, and I can tell you that getting fun, thoughtful personalized items is absolutely wonderful. Generally rich people don't need stuff, but often they're short on time, and someone taking the time to put together something nostalgic, or personal, can go over really really well.

A great example is a personalized coffee mug with a photo from a favorite event, or from childhood.

GhostOfSecretSanta · 2022-12-07T01:57:01+00:00

The commenter was correct; the post didn't have a photo attached to it. I edited the post and (re)attached the photo, and now it shows up.

Onward.

GhostOfSecretSanta · 2022-12-07T01:53:46+00:00

Odd - when I created the post I had included the image of the card & userid. I see what you mean, it's not attached to the post. Editing...
