We’re Giving Away a $US 3,000 Gaming Computer

blacksite_logo_final.jpg What do we love giving away more than games? Gaming systems. So, for our next contest we are giving away the computer version of Midway’s BlackSite: Area 51 plus (yes, plus!) an Area 51 machine from Alienware (geddit? Area 51). That’s right, our next contest will have a high-end gaming PC up for grabs. There’s more! The winner will also get an Area 51 T-shirt, an “eyeblack” patch and a copy of Midway’s Stranglehold PC. The computer is a $US 3,000 dollar machine, making this one of the most expensive things we’ve given away. Like, ever. Hit the jump for the machine’s specs.

    as awesome as this is, i just felt like pointing out that is a fairly hefty price tag for those specs and no screen. Nonetheless, awesome contest!
