<title>NVIDIA sent me a box of stuff that I could (and did) climb into..</title>
<description>And inside was some hella cool stuff like a 9800GX2 and a pair of 9600GT's and some RAM and some video card coolers to raffle off and enough t-shirts to perhaps give out to say the first 50 people that show up to the LAN (size permitting). Oh, and if for some reason you thought ol'bossy was trying to pull a fast one you'd better check it!&lt;p&gt; &lt;a href="http://img38.imageshack.us/my.php?image=img2237a.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img38.imageshack.us/img38/3082/img2237a.th.jpg" border="0" alt="Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.us" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;And again, please take a minute to visit &lt;a href="http://www.nvidia.com/"&gt;NVIDIA.com&lt;/a&gt; 'cause if you don't there may not be more lewts again :(</description>
