HOUSTON, TEXAS – (July 29, 2013) – ServerMonkey, a leading provider of new and refurbished servers and networking and IT equipment, held a contest last month on the IT networking site Spiceworks (www.spiceworks.com). The contest ran from May 24, 2013 to June 24, 2013 and provided a fun way for IT professionals to learn more about ServerMonkey’s products and low prices. Contestants were asked to guess the price at which ServerMonkey was selling a fully configured refurbished server. All contestants that guessed within 10% of the correct price were awarded a coupon and promotional item package. One grand prize winner was selected at random and received a refurbished Dell PowerEdge 2950 Gen 3 server fully configured with dual 2.33 GHz quad-core Intel Xeon processors, 16GB memory, 8-146GB 10K SAS 2.5 HDD, Perc 6i RAID, Drac 5, dual power supplies and a rail kit as well as a swag pack containing a signature ServerMonkey t-shirt, stickers, universal network cable, and one flying monkey.

The contest had a total of 181 entries, making it one of Spiceworks’ top 20 contests of all time. The majority of contestants used ServerMonkey’s site to research the correct selling price. Only 14% of all contestants guessed above the correct price and 20% guessed that the server sold for lower than the actual price.

“ServerMonkey’s ability to provide cost-effective IT solutions is a tremendous benefit to small businesses, startups, and other organizations that need to get the most out of their IT budget,” said Layla Wright, Chief Executive Officer. “Our contest on Spiceworks was a great opportunity to get our company in front of IT decision makers and increase web traffic.”
