    The contest to win the MSI GX600 notebook ends Friday the 14th of December, which means you have only 5-days to get your entries in. We've received a number of great gaming screenshots from our site visitors who have entered this contest, but the prize is still up for grabs, it's anyone's game still.

    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.
    A number of people have uploaded their gaming screenshots already, in order to see them you can visit the MSI Gaming Gallery.

    The contest runts 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 website.

    I think its Flight Simulator. It looks like thats a Boeing 787 Dreamliner, with the Boeing paint scheme.

    Just wondering, but is the 18 year old age limit still in place?
    Nope, it doesn't say anything about that on the contest page or in the rules. You still have to be a US resident though.

    1st screenshot on the right is mine! Far Cry is awesome, but not on Intel GMA 900! That's why I need to win!

    Yea, it is. My bad, again. I didn't actually look at the bigger version of the image though, I just saw a plane with Boeing colours, I naturally assumed (incorrectly) that it was a 787. :rolleyes:

    The screenshots aren't uploaded immediately are they? Because I just submitted mine 10 minutes ago and it's not in the gallery (Rainbow Six Vegas with the MP7A1). Vegas is awesome, framerates not quite (mine has an embarrassing 20 in the upper right hand corner).
