I’ve written it before, but could you please prefix these posts by “US only” already in the headline so that we know we don’t have to click on it only to get disappointed.
Has Anandtech ever run a international giveaway? I don't remember any. If they don't ever run them you can simply ignore these posts since they don't ever have an international option to be disappointed at not qualifying for.
"Has Anandtech ever run a international giveaway?"
In all fairness, we used to. But we weren't being legally complaint at the time. Now that we're owned by a real publisher, we have to follow the law. (and the law is that it's really, really hard to operate a multi-nation giveaway)
I wasn't aware you ever did, but then I wasn't looking for it back then. Is it fair to say now that it simply won't happen and that it would make more sense to put "International Giveaway" in the title if you somehow happen to run one (probably in partnership with someone who has those logistics)?
SupermicroGaming's Facebook page has a picture of an interesting looking Supermicro branded PC case: https://www.facebook.com/SupermicroGaming Any further info for online sellers of that case? Thanks.
Eh, when I think Supermicro, I think server boards. Which this definitely isn't - no ECC support. I have an ASRock Rack mini-ITX board with ECC support, so form factor isn't the issue.
Anyway, I have a Supermicro in my workstation, and it's given me 6 years of reliable service.

I've always wondered why it's really hard? I mean every website I see put the excuse to be it's very hard, but non is actually explaining why and how!Is it about the shipping (shipping tech/compute stuff) or other reasons.

Replace Z390 with X570, Socket LGA1151 with AM4, and US only with "Includes the UK", and I would love to enter it :DThreska - Sunday, June 9, 2019 - link
What's the advantage of the "steel slot reinforcement"?mode_13h - Tuesday, June 11, 2019 - link
Maybe so shipping with a heavy GPU mounted in it doesn't tear it off the mobo?IDK. I was wondering that, myself.
