Just giving a quick heads up that VIA are now running their Autumn Sweepstake competition whereby a lucky participant may just score him/herself a HP 2133 Mini-Note PC.

The requirement is that you purchase a VIA ARTIGO A1000 Pico-ITX Builder Kit prior to the 10th of October in order to enter. Then you simply input your details on the ARTIGO competition website and your name will be added into a lucky draw with a chance to score the classy little HP 2133 Mini-Note PC.

As another chance to walk away with something in hand, if you refer friends to the competition by entering their e-mail address on the competition referal page and that friend happens to win the HP Mini, then you'll pick up a free VIA EPIA CN13000G Mini-ITX board as well.

For further details on the competition, check out the supporting announcement for it here.
