Send Sledge to SM LAN 2006 - 7800GT Raffle!

Here is the Deal, I am short of Cash to get to SM LAN 2006, I have most of it but was wondering If I could get the help of the SM community to get me all the way there.

So If you help donate $10 to get me to SM LAN 06 I will enter your name in a drawing for a Nvidia 7800GT PCI-E Graphics Card OEM, and the drawing will take place at SM LAN 06 for all to see. To make it even better for you big spenders I will enter your name in the hat for every $10 donated. Below is the map of how far I am away from making it to SM LAN 06, every time someone donates I will add your name to the hat and mark how much furthur I need to go. Once I reach to cost of the ticket "if we get that far" that will end the donations and all entries will be closed

PM sledge to find out how to donate!
or
Paypal here

[CENTER]Thank you !!!!!!
If I missed your name let me know, and if the Ticket count is wrong let me know. Some of you didn't provide your SM name when donating...

wouldnt it just be cheaper to buy the card instead of donating $1,000?

Awesome!

I just want to clarify, because I'm not sure I understand completely: The raffle is open to anybody who donates money for a plane ticket, not just LAN attendees, right? The drawing will be held at the LAN, but the winner can be anybody and you will ship the card to them?

It is open to anyone within the SM community. The drawing and the card will come with me to SM LAN 2006 and we will all draw the winner at the LAN. and I will ship it to the winner at no extra cost...

If we win, do we get to choose the brand? I've got an eVGA 7800GT and I'd love to be able to do some sweet SLI action. I'm not going to the LAN this year, so my $20 entry fee is going towards helping you go there in my stead.

The card is already bought. I think it is a EVGA 7800GT ... I will get some images once it gets to me I paid a small sum for it as it was kind of donated for this purpose. Hence why the brand name is unknown....

Sledge, maybe you should post details of the exact card the winner will receive

This is going to be a very tight race, so each entrant has a VERY good chance of winning this card

With last nights massive donations we only need about $100 to get Sledge to SM LAN 06... Short-Media almost has Sledge to the LAN it is so close I can taste it....

I mean it has been less than 24 hours since this was posted and we almost have the goal reached... That shows the love of the SM community, or it shows a bunch of guys and Gals really want the Graphics card

I think you're right on both counts - though you probably would have gotten enough donations to make it to the LAN without the card as enticement.

True, true... but I also want to point out that the map looks much better being almost in Detroit lets see if we can get there today so I can secure the plane tickets

Also to let all know I have contacted 2 travel agents and 9 airlines for prices and I think I boiled it down to the cheapest fastest way there. Although the flight has a few stop overs it will be worth it $108 more bucks and the flight is mine

Yikes but you quick on the draw there Sledge.
Anyway I just had to.......
SM Lan will never be the same again after you've been there. Take lots of pics for us!!

Your Raffle is one sweet deal for me so it was a no brainer. R60 for a 30 odd to one chance of winning a card that will ordinarily cost me R5300 here and shipping thrown in just begs to be entered

You should make a T-Shirt with all the handles of everyone who has donated on it =D

That could be your SM-Lan 06 gaming shirt!
