Six European PC builders just won free gear from a giveaway.

TechPowerUp and case/PSU maker Chieftec have announced the winners of their hardware giveaway. Six readers from across the European Union won various PC components, including all-in-one CPU coolers, mid-tower and E-ATX cases, and high-wattage power supplies.

For the winners, this is a free upgrade to their rigs. For the rest of us, it's a gentle reminder to always enter those tech giveaways in the comments section, because someone's luck just paid off in coolers and cases. The real prize is the friends (and new hardware) we made along the way.
