Octopus Overlords

TLDR:

Send email to [gaben@valvesoftware.com](mailto:gaben@valvesoftware.com) with the subject "Falcon Northwest - The Heart of Racing Contest" for a chance to win a free computer.

Background:
I've been a long time customer of Falcon Northwest ( https://www.falcon-nw.com/ ) for my personal and work machines. These are machines I buy for myself, not machines that Valve buys. I don't get any promotional consideration, I just like Kelt and his team.

It was time for me to get new machines, so as a way of saying "thank you" to Falcon Northwest, I thought I'd run a contest.

I also am part of the Heart of Racing ( https://www.heartofracingteam.com/ ), a group of motorsports enthusiasts who race and raise money for Seattle Children's Hospital.

I am going to give away two machines on October 15th. The email you send to me needs to have an associated Steam account as of today (so that people don't bot spam the contest, not because we are using this to create Steam accounts).

Here are the specs of the machines that will be given away:

Falcon Northwest Talon mid-tower PC
Custom Heart of Racing automotive paintwork
EVGA® GeForce RTX 3090 24GB graphics card
Intel® Core™ i9-10900K 10-Core, 5.3GHz CPU
EVGA® SuperNOVA G3 1000 Watt power supply
Asus® ROG Strix Z490-E motherboard
64 GB G.Skill 3,200 MHz DDR4 TridentZ memory
Asetek® custom 280mm CPU liquid cooler
Two Seagate® FireCuda® 520 2TB M.2 NVMe drives
Two Seagate FireCuda® 120 4TB - SATA SSDs
Custom CableMod® individually sleeved cables
Microsoft Windows 10 Pro
Logitech® G910 Orion Spark mechanical keyboard
Corsair Scimitar Elite RGB Mouse
Asus® PG35VQ 3440x1440, 200Hz, G-Sync 35” monitor

I am sure everyone will agree these are the perfect machines right now, but for the tiny tiny tiny minority who disagree, feel free to send [gaben@valvesoftware.com](mailto:gaben@valvesoftware.com) with the subject "I can't believe you are such an idiot."

It looks like it's a verified account.

You're right, the post above doesn't say you have to include your Steam account name, just that the email you send has to be the email of your account. Sorry about that . My misinterpretation. I'll fix my second post
