I have been a member of these forums since 2009. My current PC is over 6 years old and is on its last legs. It has a I9-9900X CPU and came with 2 RTX 2080Ti GPUs. A few years ago, I upgraded the graphics to a single RTX 3080Ti. I am a Vietnam vet, and my only source of income is Social Security.
Here is the PC I am looking to order: https://www.digitalstorm.com/configurator.asp?id=4818023 I have a 4k gaming monitor so I need a system like above to drive it. I am looking to raise 5K towards the purchase of this new PC. If you can donate, I would really appreciate it. Alex did approve me to post this in these forums. Here is the link to the GoFundMe page: https://www.gofundme.com/f/new-pc-for-vietnam-vet?utm_medium=email&utm_source=product&utm_campaign=p_email%2B2300-co-team-welcome Brian J.

Hi Brian, We appreciate your service. I hope you get your goal. Maybe posting in other websites you frequent will speed up the collection. That said, it is a new modality for this site and brings up an interesting idea. Maybe DS could open an account for donations where we can direct/specify who the donations are for. I can come up with various forum members that would welcome such a process. Good luck! ![]() |

Good luck on the funding.
... I do have a configuration (change) suggestion that chops the price by $1,000+ while still giving a great gaming rig for years to come.
