There are a few reason why I want to win this HTPC. Well, after building my rigs and messing with them a lot, I have found that I can't really use them as much as I wish do to back pain. I find myself, unless I'm gaming, on my couch with my laptop watching TV. Having an HTPC would fix this problem for me because I would actually be able to game more often, and still fulfill my media needs with with an HTPC because my Chromecast is on the fritz and my wife lost the remote to my tv.... I'd build one myself, but I'm tapped out as far as funds go. =/

Well, I'd been looking for a new CPU for my current HTPC (A4 5300) for some time, but I've been out of funds for some time, the current built has a Micro ATX and its case won't even fit near the TV, would love to be able to run games there instead of having to stream them from my main machine

Thanks for the epic giveaway!

----Bonus Pic of it right now----

I want to win this HTPC for my upcoming setup.I'm currently living with my brother,but he's due to move to his own house by the end of this year,so I'd love it if it was possible to win this!It would minimize my home theater expenses by a lot!It will be used for gaming and movies,naturally..
Thank you MCCSolutions and everyone else involved for giving me a chance in this awesome giveaway!
Good luck to everyone,and Happy Easter!!

I would love to win this HTPC for my stepdad to use when watching things on the HDTV we have in the living room. He's always hauling the xbox back and forth across the living room, but he's getting tired of doing it and wants something more capable than the X360. In the event he rejects it, I would happily use it as my bedside rig as i have always wanted an AMD APU based system.
Thank you for the shot at getting this rig, and good luck to the lucky winner!

Why I want this Kick-Ass HTPC -
This is easy!
Cos I am need it! I recently built a house. The builder stuffed it up on a major scale. He didn't waterproof it properly so instead of a theatre room, I now have an indoor wading pool and mushroom farm. He didn't do the electrical wiring properly so I have wires that are burnt from sitting on top of halogen lighting. He didn't do the sewerage line with the proper fall ... so everyday, my ground floor used to get flooded with excrement. I can go on ... he royally stuffed me up. Now I am living in a rental, but have to keep paying mortgage and rent, he has also caused me to lose my family well, we still live together, but we no longer have a relationship). Need I go on? lol
I want this HTPC to cheer me up. It will be the first thing to go right for me in 4 years! lol
I want this HTPC so that when I finally have my theatre room (probably my current lounge room that I will call a theatre room as I can't afford a house anymore, much less a theatre room), I will have something to look forward to and enjoy ... and hopefully forget my troubles! ;-)
Anyway, sorry ... not meant to be a sob story, but well hey ... I am still alive, eh?

In!

I'd like to replace my current rig/HTPC (it's a biiiit big for an HTPC) so it can be used for network storage for things my parents need (I have no control over it during tax season either so it would be great for them to use!). I'd also like to be able to use it to substitute for my chromecast which is not all that functional and is having an annoying sound/video desync.
 
#10 ·
Well for starters that HTPC is much better then my strongest Gaming PC. I'd mostly use it as my new gaming PC, and hand my current PC down to my sister, who'll hand her PC down to my father
tongue.gif
. It might also play a role as my HTPC of course, due to the much increased hard drive space I would have as I can barely hold my games on this current HDD(150GB).

Thanks for letting me have a chance to win this kickass HTPC.

Having a collection of over 200 DVD/BluRays, it would be nice to have a HTPC to rip them to. And being on a limited income currently, I haven't had the extra funds to build one. It would also help my wife, who is disabled to not have to change DVD/BluRays in the old cheap AIO home theater system we currently have.
 
#13 ·
A great HTPC would be an awesome upgrade to my movie enjoyment! Easy access to all the multi media in my home, incredible concept!
A fun giveaway to dream about.
 
#14 ·
I do not have a desktop, this would be a great starting point for getting back into the desktop scene. I would probably use it to further efficiency of time and continue working with my Virtual Machines and certification exams

Good luck to everyone here!
 
#15 ·
Since going off to college, I haven't had a desktop! My desktop I built in high school is currently being used as an HTPC for my parents' house. I'm off to grad school this coming fall to study composition, and I could definitely use a desktop to help with that!

Good luck to everyone!

would love to have a htpc hanging around the front room to bring it up to date! my parents dont really use much technology so they have a great big modern tv surrounded by out dated stuff. having a htpc there would bring it right up to date so they can use it to their own needs whenever they feel!
biggrin.gif


thanks for the giveaway!

I could certainly use a shiny new AMD HTPC. The Socket AM2 HTPC I use daily shows its age - and it can't exactly run modern games! And with 8TB of media in my archive to play with it, a new one would see lots of use

Thanks MCCSolutions for this awesome giveaway....

I have never built a HTPC before and although planned too money has to go elsewhere. This will be great to replace my DVD collection, well some of it for starters so will be used as an HTPC. If by chance i am the lucky one, np's in covering shipping.

Goodluck to everyone

Absolutely awesome giveaway!

I would love to have a real HTPC that actually has enough storage to save my movie collection to and have it hooked up in the living room. As a bonus, the ability to play source games and have steam on the big screen would be ridiculous. In addition, my wife could play with pintrest and IG without having to hold her phone 8" from her face.

I currently don't have an HTPC, so I will include a pic of my desk and rig (since every thread needs more pics

).

I can't believe it.
This HAS to be the BEST FREEBIE I HAVE EVER HAD A CHANCE TO ENTER!
1) A Custom rig by MCCSolutions - Drooling, just thinking about it. And I am very good at drooling.
2) AMD (they'll always be the "good guys" to me) A10-7850K AND 8GB of Rompin' stompin' AMD Radeon 2133MHz Memory.
Sweet Jesus my eyes are tearing up.
3) Custom Lighting System and Dual Bay LCD. Just died and went to heaven.
4) AND MSI and Corsair Goodies (will the madness ever stop)
5) PLUS software and HTPC remote
6) and to finish it off (like a piledriver) a Yamaha Home Receiver!

This would be used as my main HTPC, showing off to others, breaking my apartment lease, and generally acting like an enormous member.

Please Lord, let me win this and I promise to give away one on my Intel rigs to someone less fortunate

Jesus Christ,
Mr Solutions, you and your giveaways.
I'm in for this one.

Why I want a HTPC?
My room is in need of a one so I can watch films without leaving my bed and hauling my girlfriends rig from the other room.
Enough said.

Also looking forward to see what you can do with the lighting and LCD.

In the past I've seen some crazy stuff from you. You and your imaginations.

Thanks dude!

I would indeed love this HTPC. I have had to sell off a lot of things recently, my Rig, my Camera and more just to pay for not only my college, but medical bills as well. This would be awesome in the sense I could greatly downsize my laptop, yet still be able to play games.

Thank you for the opportunity

It would be an awesome bliss if I won this as I won't have to save up to buy a new PC. My laptops pretty much old, just 256MB graphics card for games, 4 GB RAM, Core2Duo [ Lenovo SL500 is its name ]. It is good, but I'd like something better and this would be a damn awesome thing. I'll probably be handing over the lappy to my Dad or Sis. Pretty much sure its hard for me to win, but here it goes anyhow!

Good luck to all those who are participating & thanks a ton OP for this wonderful giveaway!
