AbsoluteVista.com to give away HP xw4600 Workstation

While I work out the details of how I want this to go, I would like to announce that I have been able to secure a sponsorship tat will allow me to give away one HP xw4600 Personal Workstation after a 30-day contest period.

I am completely stoked at this opportunity, and I wish all potential contestants success.
