Actually, the winner got a broke CPU that doesn't even run. He/She made a post in the forum to actually complain of the hassle and the useless garbage that he got. EA should have tested the PC before handing them out. Good PR gone bad.

Oh ho, wow. That would suck.
Crazy though... Not like it's that hard to mount a CPU, wonder what went wrong there. o.O;

Actually, the problem was the CPU chip and mother board itself ^^ So the guy sadly just got a graphics card, power supply, case and ram left. He brought the whole PC to a technician just to find out that the chip was not correctly placed - that EA used too much *glue* (forgot the name for the heat resistant adhesive). I think in the process of removing the heat sink, the motherboard broke.
