    (I am sorry this is long, but I have to plead my case) Seeing as though no one else has posted for this, you can see I am the best choice for the winner of this contest. No one else will get as much use out of this as me. There have been many times when my laptop has either acquired a virus or has crashed and lost all of its data. This would be the ultimate backup machine, but I don’t have enough money to actually purchase one of these. I am running close to 500 GB and 1 TB would be just what I need to have enough space to back up all my data.

    What I mean by data is: pictures, videos, documents, and even a disaster recovery backup of my machines’ operating system and Hard Drive. This would also be the best thing to use for my whole family’s Windows Home Server. If I won this “HP StorageWorks Data Vault X510 Media Server” then my whole family would be able to save all their information in one centralized place. Thus allowing each of us access to each others pictures and allowing our machines to run faster, because of all the freed up space on our machines. The Laptop would also be a great Mother’s Day gift for my mother, because she has never actually had a laptop or any computer of the sort. She highly craves a Laptop to: surf the web, read emails, and video chat with my Grandmother, but neither of us can afford to buy one.

    The Wi-Fi Display would be awesome for displaying all our pictures that would be connected to the Home Server, and the HP Shirt is a perfect gift for my Dad, who is always looking for a new shirt (to brag about). Even though I need a Home Server and a Laptop for my mother more than anything else, I would greatly appreciate any of the gifts that you would bestow upon me.

    I am far from any type of greed and will accept anything that the Grace of God gives me. Hopefully I have pleaded my case to the point where I will be the clear winner of the “HP StorageWorks Data Vault X510 Media Server” and “The HP Mini 311 Netbook.”

    If I win the HP media server, I will use it for the home network I am building.

  • kyle

    If I win I would rather have the netbook.

  • KYLE

    I guess I could find a way to make my network better with the data vault.

  • h.j. mcnaron

    I’m about to start filming on a documentary/oral history project and I really need a single location to store the files. This would be such a great start, I could use it as backup for my camera harddrive and feel better knowing it’s safe.

    I fanned you on FB and shared the contest. My FB name is A Marie HJ Saver.

    I would also love to have the digital frame, I know it’s silly but I still don’t have one. Though I would likely give this one to my parents so they could have constantly-updated pics of their grandkids, they would love that.

  • blackdragon

    dragon wins!

  • Douglas

    I would love to have the Netbook… thanks for the great contest !!!

  • Joe K

    The HP data vault media server would be ideal the home network I am building. It currently includes a 65″ tv and an APC Powerline Filter / Surge Protector.

  • Joe K

    I’ve never had a media server before. I’m looking forward to easy access to my media files no matter what the technology or control device. From my research, we’re still a ways a way from that. The HP data vault media server would be a good start.

  • Joe K

    If I won it, I’d use the HP data vault to archive all my video and music files, for easy access throughout my home network.

  • Joe K

    My stereo system once was very good, state of the art. But it’s ancient now and I had to get rid of it. If I win the HP data vault, I’ll splurge for a home wireless network with top of the line speakers. I think they would be a good combination, allowing me to enjoy my music and videos throughout my home. Thanks for the contest.

    I am an extremely busy Mother of two teenage sons. While they are wonderful sons, I’m sure that Mother’s Day will come and go, without so much as a card. I’m sure that they will wish me a Happy Mother’s Day and I am not complaining because they are very busy as well. My oldest son is in college and my younger son is in high school, they both have lots of school work to do. Anyway this would make a fabulous Mother’s Day gift!

Now she has to borrrow my computer and use one of the lab ones to get her work done, she needs to be able to safely store all her work

    Data Loss Near Miss!

    I arrived into work one morning (i’m ‘that IT Guy’), i usually start the day checking my e-mail only to be presented with a network timeout error… i tried to remote into the firewall – FAIL. So i stumbled all the way down to the server to find it had a BSOD, turning it off and back on done nothing.. as soon as it got to the loading windows screen we had a BSOD.

    So i unplugged it and dragged the heavy beast up to my room, only to find the Hard drive had some errors, it wouldn’t even let me scandisk without it failing.

    luckily i had everything backed up… or so i thought. We use ISA Server and i forgot to backup our access rules which effectively controls every aspect of our network. The company that installed the ISA no longer exists.. at this point i thought my job was on the line, it would be impossible for me to rebuild ISA – crippling our network.

    I resorted to buying another SCSI drive – reinstalling WINDOWS *2000,LOL* and i some how managed to scan the broken drive and fix the errors from the new drive.

    Now i have ISA backed up and have learned alot more about servers. It was a stressful couple of days but i got the job done.

    Since then i have been super paranoid about backing up but only have a portable LACIE drive, this would be perfect!!

    Great contest for a nice device. I’ll take any of them! :) My 750GB WD Mybook is now full so i need space to store my girlfriend’s every growing picture collection. She long filled her 120GB WD Passport i gave her and has been using my drive for her backup and storage. She’s a budding photographer so let’s help her out here :)

    Thanks again!
