Entering for My Great friend david who recently lost his job and gaming rig to a house fire

 

[stevorob]

@stevorob

In for spring PC - This would probably be a replacement for my wife's PC, who is still on an old p55 setup, and is definitely showing it's age (she mainly plays WoW). Of course, anything rotated out from our main rigs would be turned into a dedicated cruncher.

Big thanks to everyone who made this giveaway possible.

 

[fritoking]

@fritoking. Entering for the pc for myself since I could use a good pc, and the drawing is on my birthday..lol. I love spring for a few reasons, fishing starts getting better and lots of morel mushrooms !!!!Thanks to everyone for their donations, time and support

Entering for JC316 - he's looking into upgrading a perfectly fine machine just so he can donate his gaming system to his mother to use, but he cant even afford an SSD let alone a whole new PC.

I absolutely love spring in the USA, because its means its NOT spring here -.- f*cking allergies man.

 

[DannibusX]

@DannibusX

Entering for myself. It's been a while since I've been able to upgrade my rig.

I like spring because my area goes from having cold rainy days to having warm rainy days.

 

[jboydgolfer]

@jboydgolfer

Entering for the Spring Memorial PC on behalf of My nephew Riley, & my family as a whole. He has been running a dell Optiplex SFF for almost 3 years now, and it is beginning to show its age. Unfortunately My families financial situation is less than optimal currently, as My wife is dealing with a serious health situation, and is missing work due to various operations/surgeries. Needless to say, this PC would be a huge help, since if I dont need to buy it, they wont need to go without it.

I am grateful for the wonderful members who offer their time as well as components/Money to make giveaways such as this one possible. I just wanted to take a second to recognize them, and their Generosity.

I wish all who enter Good Luck

*entrance is contingent on the fact that it is acceptable for me to enter*

[Sasqui]

[JATownes]

@JATownes

In for the Spring PC for my 14 year old nephew. He has an old hand me down laptop and has always been envious when he comes to our house and gets to play on our machines.

Edit: Favorite part of spring: Lazy Sunday's with the wife, rolling with the top down.

In for Spring PC for my younger brother and/or niece. Lots of family turmoil going on - my younger brother and his wife have gained custody of our niece (older brother's daughter) and they're been battling over child care support now for the past 10 months. On top of that my younger brother and his wife are just starting the whole process of in vitro fertilization - so they've been hitting their savings hard. He needs a computer with a bit more power (he's running my old hardware, sporting a GTX 570 - sucker is over 6 years old) and our niece could always use one to help with her high school and personal use.

I like early spring where the weather isn't too hot and it's not cold enough to snow - little to no bugs are out and I can walk the dogs without dressing for the arctic freeze and I don't have to avoid the sun yet to keep from getting sunburned.
