    Last month MSI launched their hot looking and cool playing GX600 15.4&quot; gaming notebook. To celebrate, MSI wants to offer the gamers and notebook enthusiasts of the world a chance to win this Intel Core 2 Duo and Nvidia 8600 powered machine. Anyone can enter, but if you upload a screenshot from your favorite game MSI will &quot;overclock&quot; your chances to win.

    Here's the low down on the contest and how it works:

    • Visit the MSI GX600 Contest Page to find the registration form
    • Enter information into the required fields (it's short, we promise)
    • IF you want a better chance to win, upload a screenshot of your favorite 3D based game (make it a cool one please, no Solitaire) and we'll overclock your chances to win by 10x. That's right, you have a 10-fold better chance of winning just by uploading a gaming screenshot with your entry.
    • IF you really are too lazy to upload a gaming screenshot or don't want to, then you can still enter, it'll just be tougher to win in the random drawing.

    Once people start uploading their gaming screenshots we'll post them in the MSI Gaming Gallery for others to see. You can keep checking back there to see what kind of gaming screenshots people are posting and vote on your favorite or add comments to any particularly cool shots.

    The contest will run through until December 14th, at which point we'll shut it down and randomly pick a winner from our entrants. But remember, those people that uploaded a screenshot will get ten raffle tickets in the random drawing instead of just the one if you don't upload a gaming screenshot (so do it!). The full rules can be found here for the Win an MSI GX600 contest.

    About the MSI GX600 Gaming Notebook

    The GX600 is the latest and greatest gaming notebook from MSI that features an Intel Core 2 Duo processor, Nvidia 8600M GT graphics card, amazing 15.4&quot; WSXGA Crystal Vision Disply and a unique &quot;TurboBook&quot; feature that allows you to overclock the Intel processor with the push of a button. That's right, hit the button on the upper right side of the notebook labeled &quot;Turbo&quot; and you get an automatic speed boost. The design of the GX600 is sleek yet intimidating, with dragon like flames on the lid and the palmrest ara. Maybe the best thing abou the MSI GX600 is that it's light enough to carry around without breaking your back. Most gaming notebooks are so heavy they hurt to carry, the 15.4&quot; MSI GX600 is perfectly suited for being moved about, yet still powerful. If you'd like more details on the MSI GX600 you have a chance to win in this contest, please visit the MSI webste.

    Do emulators count as games? Example: I have an emulator running my favorite 3D console game on my PC?

    We might be amending it to allow under 18's and maybe Canadians, but right now assume not.

    Alright, I entered. The notebook is definitely an eye catcher and pretty much pimped out.

    Just a quick update, we did remove the 18+ restriction!

    Now you high school folks can party with the college kids! (Sorry, thinking about 18 and over just reminded me of that).

    Sorry for the delay. Please give it some time. Our gallery system requires "manual" verification and posting of the images before they go on our site. So someone from our staff has to go in, view each submission, and then add it to the gallery.

    It stinks, but whenever there is an online contest where people submit images there are always a few bad apples that submit images that shouldn't be submitted. I think you know what I'm talking about.

    To be fair though, those images are usually the most creative :p Anyone remember the french contest to win Halo3 by submitting a screenshot? LOLcats and hardcore porn must have outnumbered legitimate entries 5 to 1

    Question:

    Why do contests typically not allow persons under the age of 18? There's so much sweet stuff I'd like to win.. but can't because I'm not old enough.

    Hm? Oh, yeah, NBR Graphics. Well, it used to be a thread here on NBR's Off Topic section, but we've moved to an independent forum now that its gotten bigger and an independent forum is easier to manage.

    Basically, we make forum signatures by request for free. Yes, no fee, no obligation, no mandatory credit (of course, we'd prefer if you credit us, but you don't have to). Some of the forum signatures done here on NBR include mines (I make my own), The Forerunner, v3locity2.0, 00fez and more. If you want a free forum signature or avatar or such, just send me a PM or post it there :).

    If you want to know further, PM me as this isn't the thread for it :).

    Back on topic; win an MSI GX600 Gaming Notebook! :D
