Inside Newegg: They give us a Tour and you a Prize

The Secure Area
While motherboards, optical drives and video cards are kept in the three stories of racks, the more expensive items like CPUs, memory and software are kept in a separate area that's fenced in. After all of the components from the picker area are placed into your tub, it rolls down a ramp towards the secure area:
Here we are standing at the third level of the picker assembly line looking down upon the secure area:
And after making our way down we find ourselves at one of the entrances to the secure area:
It may not look like much, but what's contained within is truly a tech enthusiast's candy store. Newegg keeps the processors segregated, all of the Intel CPUs were on our left, while all of the AMD CPUs were on our right.
While we were wandering around the CPU area we did manage to swipe a few processors for you. The best we could do was a set of five Athlon 64 X2 4600+ CPUs; we'll be giving one away each day from February 14, 2006 through February 17, 2006 and the final CPU will be given away on February 20th. To enter to win just head over here and drop your email in the box, good luck :)
CPUs weren't the only things plentiful in the secure area; there was also lots of memory on hand:
