533 MHZ, 64 MB RAM, 8 GB Hard Drive = Current Computer.
I did not win last round, so I'm going to try again.
Persistence is a virtue! So, anyway, my computer is about 6 years old. I got it when I was twelve. I'll soon be nineteen, so then it'll add up to 7 years, great. I'm mainly going to use this computer for schoolwork, gaming, maybe some programming and other things.
So, I thought $500 from Robin Hood and $200 I got from my birthday would be enough to build a high quality computer. Tuitions are high, and it's all I can spare. Help me out Robin Hood!

I chose these items because they are a good budget computer that can game and do schoolwork at a very fast pace for multitasking. I can salvage my old monitor, keyboard, mouse, and DVD drive since they are pretty new. Thanks for wishing RHF! (more)

All that and now your overclocking it ..Hope you burn the CPU...theres other things people need more then a computer thet your going to overclock now
Hey all, ordered my computer today! It should come in about three days, maybe earlier if UPS is able to do that. So, basically, three days then? I'll tell you all how the building process goes and how high I can overclock this bad boy.
Hey, congrats! Fire us an update when you get it put together!
sorry needle! I didn't realize it until after.. I'm holding my 3 month old while trying to type with one hand which is hard to do so I must have hit the caps.. sorry!
WOW!! NEEDLE YOU WON! GREAT!!!! I THOUGHT THE PUPPET WISH WAS GOING TO WIN! YOU CAME FROM BEHIND AND SMOKED HIS VOTES!! YOU HAVE ALOT OF FRIENDS I GUESS.. Again good luck!
Congratulations Needle!
Perseverence did pay off. Now go get your computer!
Give this one away to the museum
Hmmm.. yep, that is definitely an antique.
ya fight the powa needlz!
A nice selfish wish I can relate to, a five for you. :)
You've been kind of a dick about this whole extravaganza. Be polite with the other wishers, maybe?
the insect trust wishes you a fine hoboken saturday night.
you're gonna lose
Sounds good to me, especially since you are putting in your own money too! Good luck!
Thanks to all the friends that signed up for me! Hope you guys see this. [By the way, Jake, you're obsessed with firetrucks man..]
make your case a firetruck and i'm happy
You're not serious are you? Your computer sounds like it should be in a museum! 5 stars.
I can relate to a slow computer!! Good Luck!
good quality naughty wish
Thanks for all the support guys. For anyone that wants to know, this computer struggles in practically everything. I can't even play RUNESCAPE in low settings, that's right. Also, any type of graphics program that I want to open up and do for school, it takes an average of ~10-20 minutes to open up Adobe. Talk about slow, eh?
Good wish, and hope you'll win. You SHOULD get a new computer.......
happy luck to you
WOW.. NICE COMPUTER WISH FOR... HOPE U GET IT SOON...
VOTE FOR ME TOO!!
Good luck on getting the computer!
Comeon dude, where's the need here? I mean, I can appreciate you're using a piece, but unless you actually need the horsepower, don't bother spending the $ - afterall, eventually you may actually need the power and it'd be best to spend on it at that point in time.. For now, get a used machine from somewhere like [ link ]
Cheers dude and happy computing.
computers rock you have got my vote(just do me a favor with you new found computer and glory bring back diablo 2 to the masses lol) good luck!
good luck computers are great my teenaged daughter loves hers if you could check out my wish that would be great thanks
You rule Victor, you totally deserve to win. If you don't vote for this guy, something is wrong with you. I'm surprised this man has even been able to go on with his life with the piece of junk he has for a computer, I know, I've seen it. Well, I hope you get your wish man.
It seems like you can get a pretty decent desktop for school and games for quite a bit less than 700.
I'm glad you asked, for I have listed all my parts! It is going to be homemade, and since I have researched all these parts thoroughly, I am going to make it myself. The site I bought it from is trusted with RMAing, which is returning a defected part. So no worries, even if the things I buy do not work, I can always send them back!
What kind of computer are you planning on getting, and is that image of the computer you want?
Good luck, winning this wish will give you great motivation.
Computers are great good luck!!! I hope you get your wish this round! Vote for my wish when you get a chance.. here's the link
