OK kids, the results are in. First the method by which I came up with the winners. I used a method very similar to one which Super Nade used for a contest a while back (HERE). But, instead of using human interaction to come up with the 2 random numbers, i simply used the random number generator (mostly because I did this at 3am and there wasn't anyone around Also it doesn't allow for any possibility of a clairvoyant friend picking a winner. )
So, using random.org's random integer generator, I set it to pick two random numbers between 1 and 27 (The number of applicants)...here's a shot of the settings:
And here's the results:
I then used random.org's random sequence generator to create a random sequence of numbers from 1 to 27. Here's a shot of the settings for that:
Finally, here are the results of that:
SO, using the first numbers, cross referenced with the sequence generated, we see that the first winner is the 23rd spot in the generated sequence, which is 16. So the 16th person to opt in is our first winner (and will receive the key I had)
The second winner, using the same method, is the 22nd person and will receive the key provided by hUMANbEATbOX.
So, if you haven't been keeping score:
Winner #1: dfonda
Winner #2: buckbadly
So congratulations guys!
BTW, if anyone else comes forward with a key as hUMANbEATbOX or myself had, I will be happy to use this method to choose another winner from the remaining applicants!
Thanks guys, and to the winners: have fun beta testing!

Alright kids, being an nvidia SLI club member gets a few perks in case you didn't know. I got a beta for Hellgate London, which I didn't have time to use, so I gave it away to a fellow OCFer....and now I got a Crysis Multiplayer beta key from them as well. And again, I won't use it. I can just be patient and get my preordered copy. Besides, I want a new vid card before I play it anyway.
So I'm going to do a raffle for the key that I have. I'll give people a couple days to say they want in, then I'll randomly assign a number to each person and then ask one of the mods or someone to blindly pick a number. This person will be the winner. If you want in, just post. I think by Sunday night or Monday night it should hopefully have been long enough and let enough people get in.
So post away! Oh, and the only stipulation is that you have to post a snazy screenshot or two and tell us how the game is
(That is, as long as that doesn't breach whatever NDA they may have. If it does then you can just enjoy it on your own. )
EDIT: hUMANbEATbOX has offered a key that he also will not be able to use. So there will be TWO lucky ppl that will get keys!

I think it would be more fair to the people that have opted in if there's a cutoff for this little raffle. So I'm saying 11:59pm tonight will be the last entry taken. So that gives you about another 8.5 hours.
