EVGA Promotions Offers NVIDIA 3D Vision, SLI Motherboard on Loan

From DailyTech: With times tough economically, and sales of both personal computers and PC components down, manufacturers and board makers are turning to creative promotions to try to jump start sales. One such intriguing promotion was launched this week by EVGA, maker of motherboards and graphics cards.

EVGA announced a new promotion -- the EVGA Loaner Program -- this week. EVGA will be sending people who sign up on special lists, available here, hardware products to test on loan. There are two lists -- one is for a pair of NVIDIA GeForce 3DVision glasses and a Samsung LCD monitor, the other is for a EVGA X58 triple SLI board, which EVGA describes as "classified".

The only downside is EVGA states that it will "randomly select participants and cannot guarantee participation to all that sign up." However, for those lucky participants who do get a hardware package, you get to keep it and test it out for two weeks (feel free to try your hand at overclocking in other words). At the end of the two weeks, the only charge to you comes, in that if the product is still working, you have to send it along to the next participant via UPS.

While some will scoff at such a promotion, for others it will be a neat chance to check out some of the next generation hardware products you always hear about. And EVGA is surely hoping that some of its testers like the products so much they decide to buy them.
