Found the form without looking for the treasure chest. I then looked for the treasure chest just because I felt like it. lol

Nothing here either, nothing ventured, nothing gained as they say.

No email here either. You really can't your expectations high when big companies hold contests like these, though. "Thousands will enter, few will win." lol

tomato

Nothing here either... but I guess the odds weren't exactly the greatest. ah well.

Yeah, I wasn't expecting too much either. I guess this is the case when the contest in on a well-known site like Crucial and when there are only one or two prizes offered...:frown:

Anyway, I'm still curious to know who are the winners, as no winners have been announced yet on their site...:roll:

I haven't seen or heard of any news about the contest anywhere as of yet. We may never hear who it was.......;)

Yeah, there's a possibility we'll never know, unless one among us, the memebrs of Bjorn3D memebrs who registered, will get s surprising email that he has won, but as time passes, chances for this to happen are getting smaller and smaller...;-)
