  This particular thread has been a very postive thread... lots of fun stuff, amazing skills (barring a few AI enhanced stuff), great spirited participation, amazing yuge tremendous great generosity from papa Eric, very tasteful selection and judging from Precious, great-bot-defeating strategy and everyone wins (and I think, for many of us, it was the participation and drawings that really made it great fun and brought out the latent child in all of us).

  Zero stress - only fun.

  Can't really ask for more... other than a Duck race where Precious beats papa Eric

  Can someone engineer that as a token of appreciation?

  

  I did it! Yay!!!!

  

  Unfortunately only screenshot (no livestream or video).

  Thanks everyone who has participated and especially @crunchbits for supporting the event. I only realise a little bit late that this competition is no longer about Crunchbits anymore, it is more about how we potray the life of ourselves as a dad would be like and a way for us to bond and socialise.

  I almost shed a tear reading stories from @default @Saragoldfarb and @Smigit, together with looking at some of the great arts drawn by @cainyxues @muffin @_MS_. If anyone wants to look at them again here's the index: https://lowendtalk.com/page/crunchbits-easter-2025

  
  
  
  

  Without further ado, let's start by saying Eric has just done the impossible and decided to add a few surprises to everyone who has participated and to be honest I didn't really see that coming, I would even argue this is the best LET deal I have seen so far with huge quantity!

  So let's start with looking at our original specs:

  • 4 vCPU (E5v4 or equivalent)
  • 12GB RAM
  • 15GB NVMe
  • 450GB RAID-10 SSD
  • 5TB @ 1Gbps
  • 20 quantity
  • $42.69/yr OR $57/3yr (only $19/yr!!!)

  Oh so you thought Eric only allocated 20 of them? Nope Eric decided to bump the number to give everyone who has participated the prize, yes EVERYONE, all 31 eligible drawings.

  
  
  
  

  And just when you thought that's all... no Eric is so touched that he decided to upgrade the specs. But wait the specs is already damn beefy, what else can it be upgraded? Lo and behold it is now freaking EPYC because you guys are super EPIC, and did I forgot to mention even larger DISK and lower COST!?

  • 4 EPYC vCPU
  • 12GB RAM
  • 640GB NVMe RAID-10
  • 5TB @ 2.5Gbps
  • 31 quantity
  • $19/yr or $55/3yr

  And that the above, is the deal every single one of you eligible participants will get. @caracal @ariq01 @codelock @beanman109 @geo @sh97 @NS32 @Samurai @NaughtyWombat @anakara @senos @tj111 @default @cainyxues @Kevinf100 @muffin @Smigit @Penguin @FAT32 @Decicus @JabJab @nullnothere @nvme @brauni @_MS_ @plumberg @mkdirkatie @admax @idle @beanman109 @nghialele

  
  
  
  

  Some of you might argue that hey 31 is not a good number, why not 32 in light of FAT32!? This is because one of them is THE CHOSEN ONE and they get DOUBLE the specs.

  Hold on a second FATTIE, who is that chosen one? Is it FAT32? Is this another rigged contest? Absolutely not, all of the arts have been vetted by MiniCrunch/Erica (Eric's daughter), and out of all she picked THE ONE:

  

  Submission 19 by @Penguin - To quote what she said:

  Is that daddy jack and baby pumpkin?! I WUV IT

  That's it, the chosen one will get the following, the most legendary deal ever in LET history:

  • 8 EPYC vCPU
  • 24GB RAM
  • 1280GB NVMe RAID-10
  • 10TB @ 2.5Gbps
  • Only for the chosen one - @Penguin
  • $19/yr or $55/3yr

  
  
  
  

  Aside from the chosen one, Erica also chosen a few other drawings which allow each of you to pick 1 of the Crunchbits merchs (Hoodies, Mangilla Shirts, Calin Blanket [only 2 left], or their unannounced newest shirt). It will be shipped at Crunchbits cost (as always) and if you are worried about PII you can gift your merch slot to someone else of your choosing, the winners for the merch are:

  @NaughtyWombat @senos @Kevinf100 @admax

  
  
  
  

  @sh97 will be liasing with all of you on how to claim the prize, it will take 2 weeks or more to setup and if anyone complain about it being too long I will happily take the deal from your hand. Once again thanks EricChad @crunchbits for supporting and sponsoring this event

  Reguards.

  Aside from the insane prizes in this competition, we all got to see the love and links we share. We are all winners because we are so lucky to be a part of this community.

  Wow, what a great deal from @crunchbits ! Just like the first drawing for VDS, I thought to do the similar one for baby @crunchbits and Eric, but unfortunately missed the timeframe, as I had no time in the past 24h.

  Congrats to every winner, and if anyone don't need it (I understand there's 0,001% chance) please let me know for transfer.
