Computer Build Project

e14 Contributor

Hello,

 

 

I would love it if you took a moment to check out my GoFundMe campaign:

Your support would mean a lot to me. Thank you so much!

  • I mean no disrespect to you Conner but that site looks like a virtual "Pan Handling" site and as such completely turns me off

    I don't know your situation or employment state or your ability to get employment  which is why my comment is not aimed at you but the site that facilitates this, I am assuming they also take a percentage ??

    Well I guess by definition you're technically not wrong. I am asking for money. I'm in highschool right now. A friend and I are trying to raise a little money for the project because we both are interested in both computers and engineering. Our school doesn't have a class which incorporates building computers so we took it upon our selves to pursue our interests. If you haven't figured out, we're a little short on money so we figured why not start a little fundraising.

     

    The site does take a small part is the money raised. Only like 2-5% I cannot remember for sure. It is because they are the domain for the fundraising. Personally I think the founder of genius. Probably making some great money as we speak.

    I built my first computer while at high school. It was the first PC I had.

    The build was most definitely done on a budget and only cost me a couple of hundred pounds, and consisted of parts that were recycled, donated, and gifted from friends/family.

     

    $2000 would buy you a rather powerful gaming PC, so putting on the Oliver Twist act probably isn't doing you any favours.
