In for the Summer PC, for my uncle. He's been without a PC for a while now after a Cooler Master AIO decided to explode in the top of his case shorting out most everything. Or myself, if Irma wipes my house off the map:fear:

Good luck to all who enter! Also, thanks @Norton, and everyone who donated for keeping the Kreij memorial going:respect::respect:

@neatfeatguy

In for the Summer PC for my niece. She's having a hard time adjusting to life after her parents (my older brother and his ex-fiance from many years back) basically kicked her out of both their homes and my younger brother took her in. She's bad with money and really wanting a computer of her own and hasn't been able to find a way to save up money yet. If she finds a way into college in a couple years, a decent PC would be great for her to have.

Also in for Gift 1.

In for the summer pc for my cousin. She wants to play Minecraft but the only computer she has is a 9 or 10 year old dell, brick laptop that runs windows xp (albeit I love xp, it is dated).

Also in for apu combo.

Thank you for being willing to run giveaways like this. It's not easy and not free, so thank you on behalf of all of us TPU users who enter.

Edit: favorite summer story was me on my dads 13' Boston whaler with my dad and him flipping me 10 feet in the air off the innertube.

@stinger608 and entering for the @Kreij 2017 summer PC giveaway for my brother-in-law. He is currently trying to make do with an old HP that's about 8 years old.

I'll also enter for the giveaway prizes as well. If I win the combo, I'll be adding the necessary parts to complete a system for the brother-in-law.

My very favorite part of summer is camping and fishing! And in this part of the country, it's pretty much over. :( We are already waking up to temps in the lower 40's. :shadedshu:

I want to give huge thanks to @Norton and everyone donating for this amazing continuation to an awesome friend and fellow TPU member!!!! God speed @Kreij !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Opt'ing in for the kids that I'm living with as they're basically my family now. Also in for the combo as either desktop can go to them for school.

Favorite summer memory? Hmm... probably any summer where I get air conditioning. :roll:

Thanks to all who donated parts! Making TPU the best family-like forums ever!

Opt'ing in for the Summer 2017 Gifts

I don't live in the US(I live in the philippines) but If I did I'd opt in for the summer PC for my brother as well(his PC is a bit outdated now) and to personally see first hand a AMD/Ryzen build.

If possible I'm in for the APU combo as well, My father operates a computer rental with the same processor lineup and I figured it would be nice to add 1 more to it(after buying monitors and casing, etc)

Here we call it "computer shops", it is very popular here in our country cause a lot of people don't have money to buy their own PCs, subscribe to a decent ISP, or just have no Space for a desktop.
They mostly play online F2P games though so the computers don't need to be powerful, and APUs are enough

I remember Kreij, I was basically a lurker for many years before I signed up and I used to see his posts. I got familiar to him in way, just like to any frequent posters here in the forums. If my memory is correct we played for a short bit in Diablo 3 when it was pretty popular back then.

Opt in for the Summer 2017 PC (US) for my cousin. When we were younger, we would play games together for days at a time. Many years ago, he got involved with some bad people and ended up becoming addicted to drugs. We had a big falling out over it, and didn't speak for a few years. He recently got clean after having two little daughters. We are speaking again, and I'm very proud of him, as he will be celebrating two years clean soon. It's been two years, but for a long time I was very wary and skeptical, because he'd been "clean" several times before and it always burned me when I'd let him back in, and end up getting hurt when he went back to the drugs. Anyway, two years clean, he's held a good job, we are on good terms now, and I've introduced him to PC gaming (we usually played consoles together before.) I built him a PC out of scavenged parts, but he could definitely use an upgrade. Back in our xbox days, he was easily good enough to have gone professional as a gamer. He's picked up the mouse/keyboard pretty well. Anyway, long story, but that's who I'm entering for. :)


AND
Opt in for the APU combo, for the same person/reason.

Favorite summer activity? Gotta be the fireworks and festivities on 4th of July in the good old USA. Nothing says America like grilled flesh and high explosives! Also, motorcycle riding. I usually end up riding more towards the end of summer and early fall, as summers are pretty hot and humid in Arkansas. So it's just about prime time to go on a nice long ride through the mountains. I haven't gotten a good chance to this summer, so I vow to set aside some time for wind therapy in the next couple of weeks.

Thanks for the generosity guys!

@Norton should I send a key for my game contribution to you? Or just wait and send it to the winner?

Too bad I am not eligible to enter, since I really want something like the APU combo and can't afford it.
But honestly, I saw this thread before and I really love the idea and the cause you are supporting. Keep it up, guys.
