I'm a little late in posting my win here, but on August 20, 2009 here is a portion of
the message I received from ePrize:

Dear John Caldwell,

Congratulations!  You have been selected to receive a prize in the Microsoft
Forefront Trial Download Sweepstakes, administered by ePrize.

You have been selected as the winner of a Server System for your home including
a PowerEdge 2900 III Server, a Netgear GS108 8-port Ethernet Switch, a Dell
2408WFP 24" Ultrasharp (TM) LCD Widescreen Flat Panel Monitor, a Dell 3115cn
Multifunction Color Laser Printer with 512MB memory, a Radeon HD 4870 x2 2GB GDDR5
PCI Express Graphics Card and a $700 check. 

This prize has an approximate retail value of $10,037.48

I guess you could say I was elated, estatic, overjoyed....you get the idea.

It appears my prize package will be ready to ship by the end of November, 2009
and just in time for Christmas.

Now, normally I'm the type to sell off my big wins, but this one shall be very
tempting to hang onto as well as difficult to find any takers..
(not much demand for $7000 servers these days)

Congratulations on your awesome win.

Thank you very much.  I had actually wrote a letter to Mr. Sweepy in regards to the recent newsletter, and when I referenced this as one of my wins, he suggested I get over here and join the 10K Club.

Nice win! You should be able to have fun doing some techy things with that equiptment!

Hey, John - congrats on your super win, and quick one-step into the $10K Club! This sweep being limited to IT professionals, I was wondering why the prize was a home system and not a business system? In fact, that pricey server sounds like a business item as opposed to a home item... GSTY!

SUPER WIN!!! CONGRATULATIONS!  

Congrats and welcome to the 10K group.

Hi Vapor, Fantastic win and welcome to the $10K Club.  You might want to research the server on eBay.  You should be able to get a good price on it there.

Congrats again,

Mr. Sweepy

The PowerEdge 2900 III Server is part of Dell's Large Business server family. I was notified in August 2009 of my win and it seems forever until it finally ships to me.  Techology is like cars, it's so passé the day after anything new is released-I just don't want to eventually receive products that are already outdated.
