\"\"Everybody loves a chance to win something; if they didn\u2019t, Wheel of Fortune <\/em>would be little more than a spelling test followed by a look through a Sears catalog. Once you add prizes, though, things get much more interesting – and that\u2019s where the folks at TweakTown come in.<\/p>\n

You see, they\u2019re giving away one a 240GB Mercury Electra 6G Solid State Drive<\/a> to one lucky winner, and two other winners will get a Newer Technology GripStand\/GripBase Bundle<\/a> for iPad and another bundle for iPad 2 owners. Of course, with such great prizes at stake, there are a few minor<\/em> things you\u2019ll have to do to enter:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Become a fan of OWC’s Facebook page<\/a> (i.e., \u201cLike\u201d us).<\/li>\n
  2. Post \u201cI want to win some OWC goodies at TweakTown thanks to Other World Computing!\u201d on the contest thread<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  3. Report that you\u2019ve performed the first two steps by posting on the forum page<\/a> on TweakTown\u2019s site.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Pretty simple, huh?<\/p>\n

    Contest entry runs from today until December 10, 2011. If you are a winner, you will be asked to provide your full name, address and telephone number for shipping.<\/p>\n

    Check out TweakTown\u2019s contest page<\/a> for full details.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
