Bitfenix is launching soon and to celebrate, they are holding a contest that can nab you a few things. They are partnering with Gigabyte and GeIL and all you have to do is make a gaming-related video to show off. It can be anything really as long as it's game related so here's your chance to really be creative.

What can you win for your troubles? How about a gaming rig featuring a Gigabyte GA-P55A-UD4 mobo, 4GB of GeIL DDR3 ram, and the Colossus Bitfenix chassis. You'll also get a chance for just the motherboard or ram for second and third place respectively.

If you can't create a video, you'll also get a chance to win just by voting so no need to fret if you don't have the video skills. You can get more details from their website.
